Be open to finding a workout routine you love! Life’s too short to show up at the gym every day going through the motions, just to say you “did it.” Nothing exciting every came from a level 3.1 and 1.6 incline on a treadmill while watching Judge Judy.

Hi!
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the Turbo Fire workouts. Back in May, I decided to get healthy. I was scared I had just had a heart attack (thankfully, that was not the case) and knew I needed to get my butt in gear.
I’m now down 6 dress sizes and 25 pounds! I’ve fallen in LOVE with Turbo Fire and do a workout 6 days a week. I love the hiits and they’re awesome when time is short.
I can’t thank you enough for this amazing program. I’ve found the workout that I absolutely LOVE!
Many blessings to you,
Pat
I love running! Sadly I can’t run for a while due to surgery! In the meantime I started PiYo. I absolutely love it! It’s pretty challenging right now, but my goal is tobe able to do the second round without modifying. I love how much stronger I feel, and the flexibility continues to improve.

Swim swim. Just keep swimming
I fell in love with your extreme program. I’m now doing the turbo fire/extreme hybrid along with 131. But lifting weights gives me all those things you spoke of, I feel alive, healthier, younger, and I’m fascinated with watching the changes in my arms! Lol
