				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey GR@H crew, my fiance Coach Katie, is in the new TurboFire videos that are out now!  She had gotten incredible results with TurboFire, lost 40 lbs, and was chosen via a TurboFire contest to be a cast member in the revamped videos.  She was cast in Fire Starter, a &#8220;new to class&#8221;, workout that eases you into the moves and AB Igniter, a new ab routine that is killer.  There are also 2 new HIIT LOW IMPACT workouts  for all of those who have knee and back problems.  Pretty cool.  Check out Katie&#8217;s TurboFire results and story below.</p>

Well here they finally are. I am extremely proud of all of her hard work and effort that she has put into her transformation. Katie will be the first one to tell that that getting healthy and fit is a journey that makes consistency, dedication and support&#8230;but it also can be fun! When she first started <strong><a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/TurboFire?referringRepId=43079">TurboFire</a> </strong>she LOVED it and she has become a official Turbo Girl. Her transformation was so impressive, she even got cast in the new <strong>TurboFire </strong>workouts that are coming out in 2012! She is also going to be featured in the new <strong>TurboFire infomercial</strong>! How cool is that?!?</p>
<p>She has decided to pay it forward and she became a <strong>coach</strong>, just like me, to help others who are struggling with their weight. She is extremely knowledgeable and great motivator.

<p><strong>Here is Katie&#8217;s Amazing <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/TurboFire?referringRepId=43079">TurboFire</a> Transformation Results as well as her journey to get healthy and fit in her own words! </strong></p>
<p>We all have a common desire to wake up every day feeling fit, healthy, and enthusiastic about what lies ahead. Yet for so many people that reality seems incredibly unreachable. I can remember being in that overwhelming place, wondering if I would ever get back to that happy, energetic girl I once knew so well…</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2809" title="BEFORE " src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/BEFORE-4-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" />It wasn’t until I started my graduate program in teaching, that my lifestyle habits took a 180 degree turn. Instead of spending my free time “working out” and studying, I spent my free time “eating out” and studying. I met knew friends, with much different habits, and found myself slowly drifting away from my previously active lifestyle. It wasn’t long before my weight began to creep up, and my desire to hit the gym came to a screeching halt. Over and over again, I gave myself the excuse that I was too busy, too tired, and would start back up Monday. Well, two and a half years of “Mondays” came and went, and I found myself <strong>40 pounds heavier, at 30% body fat</strong>, and waking up every day feeling anything but fit, healthy, or enthusiastic.</p>
<p>Ultimately, I decided that the seemingly unreachable goals that had haunted me for the past couple of years, would instead be reachable. I just had to find the right path! I started out my weight loss process by paying a ridiculous amount of money for a personal trainer. (I already knew how the ins and outs of physical fitness, but thought I needed someone else to hold me accountable.) While I did make progress in my time with the trainer, I never felt that spark or enthusiasm that I used to feel during exercise. Upon discussing my concerns with my boyfriend, who had been working out with <strong><a href="http://getrippedathome.com/programs/p90x/">P90X</a> </strong>for over a year, I learned from him that<strong> BeachBody</strong> offered a variety of programs that could suit nearly every fitness need.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2810" title="AFTER 3" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/AFTER-3-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" />I quickly began my research and came upon <strong><a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/CEDELUXE?referringRepId=43079">Chalean Extreme</a>.</strong> The program sounded incredible! I quickly called to cancel my personal training subscription and ordered the deluxe version of the program. Wow! The spark I had been looking for began to creep back up on me, and I was feeling better than ever! THEN, I realized that<strong> Chalene Johnson</strong> was the girl responsible for creating those amazing<strong> turbo kickboxing</strong> classes that I had fallen in love with over a decade ago.</p>
<p>I was beyond excited when Turbo Fire was released, and had voiced so much enthusiasm and curiosity about the program that I soon received it as a gift from my now fiancé! He has always been an excellent gift giver, but THIS was one of the best things he had ever given me&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2816" title="TurboFire Results Pic" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/TurboFire-Results-Pic-300x281.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="281" />I completed my first <strong><a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/TurboFire?referringRepId=43079">TurboFire</a> </strong>workout with a huge grin across my face. This was EXACTLY what I had been looking for! I got excited every time I put in a new workout, and the same feelings of empowerment came rushing back to me. I loved the fast-paced choreography, amazing music mix, and Chalene’s ridiculously contagious energy. After reading about the science behind <strong>HIIT </strong>training, I was blown away by how such a short workout could drastically improve my <strong>cardiovascular endurance</strong>.</p>
<p>As I worked through this program, I noticed that the muscles I had been building through the<strong><a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/CEDELUXE?referringRepId=43079"> Chalean Extreme</a></strong> program were becoming visible! I was leaning out, and for the first time in my life had definition in my obliques and abdominal wall. I LOVED the strength training workouts included, and also soon began using the weighted gloves during the turbo workouts. I began using the gloves on <strong>TurboFire </strong>30 and worked my way up to the <strong>TurboFire </strong><strong>45</strong> and<strong> 45EZ workouts </strong>by the end of the second phase. By the end of the 90 days, I was able to accomplish my goal of completing Fire 60 with the gloves on! That was an incredible feeling of accomplishment!</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2814" title="IMG_0414" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_0414-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" />As a result of <strong><a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/TurboFire?referringRepId=43079">TurboFire</a></strong>, I went from a girl who had been hiding her figure in baggy clothes, back to the confident girl I used to be running around the beach in her bathing suit. I am finally back and better than ever at <strong>125 pounds and 14% body fat</strong>! I feel like more of an athlete today than I did playing Varsity sports in high school!<br />
TurbFire for me, made the unreachable, reachable….I now get to wake up every day the way every person deserves to…feeling fit, healthy, and ready to face the day with positive energy.<br />
<strong>TurboFire </strong>was the workout I had been looking for….the one that got me excited to press “play” everyday. This is a workout that I will forever love, and forever recommend until my freckled face turns blue! <img src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" /> </p>
<p><a href="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/BEFOREAFTER3.jpg"><img class="wp-image-3439 aligncenter" title="BEFORE&amp;AFTER3" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/BEFOREAFTER3.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="376" /></a></p>
<p>Simply put:<br />
The BEST version of me has been given the opportunity to come out and play, all because I pressed play with <strong><a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/TurboFire?referringRepId=43079">TurboFire</a></strong>! There are not enough words to thank those responsible for that….</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1610" title="measuring abdominal" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/measuring-abdominal.jpg" alt="" width="156" height="155" />If you have emailed me to ask for tips, tricks, and nutritional advise, one of the first things I always ask to know are your stats.  Height, Weight, and age are very important stats to determining what nutritional approach is correct for you but one of the most important stat to determining your proper nutrition as well as monitoring your progress is your body fat percentage.  I get emails everyday from people looking to put on 10lbs of muscle, or others who want to lose 10 lbs of fat but body weight only tells one side of the picture.  In order to get that &#8220;ripped&#8221; look your looking for so you can see those abs, you have to have low body fat.</p>
<p>This is why I would recommend everyone to monitor their body fat while they are going through a program like <a href="http://getrippedathome.com/programs/p90x/" target="_blank">P90X</a>, <a href="http://getrippedathome.com/programs/insanity-total-body-conditioning-program/" target="_blank">Insanity</a> or <a href="http://getrippedathome.com/programs/turbofire-workout-program/" target="_blank">TurboFire</a>.  It might even be easier than you think, and it will give you a much better idea how well you are doing with your fitness.</p>
<p>There are several ways you can measure body fat so I will try to touch on all of them so you can determine which is best for you.  The first, is through scaless that do <strong>Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis</strong>&#8230; or <strong>BIA</strong> for short.  These work by sending a harmless electrical signal through your body and measure the resistance.  It&#8217;s basically a way to measure body density.  The only problem with this form is it can be thrown off very easily.  Too much water, too much muscle mass, different temperatures can all throw off the number and make it less accurate.  If you are consistent, scales can be a better way to monitor your body fat but not the initial measurement.  When I have used the scale version it has registered me at 10% body fat&#8230;I am down in the 4-6% rage so it can be off if you are muscular.  But there are better ways&#8230;.</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-1606 alignleft" title="body fat testing" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/body-fat-testing-300x201.jpg" alt="" width="206" height="138" />One of the more accurate ways to measure body fat is by using a <a href="http://getrippedathome.com/gear/body-fat-tester/" target="_blank">Body Fat Caliper</a>.  They are fairly inexpensive but a great tool that you can find on here or on amazon.  The only downside can be human error, so I recommend you have someone help you with your measurements, but it is a quick and easy way to determine your body fat more accurately.  I really like a website called <a href="http://www.linear-software.com/online.html" target="_blank">www.liner-software.com</a> that has a great place to put your measurements and have it calculate it for you.  They also provide multiple methods so I would try a few and determine which you like and which seem the most accurate.  It won&#8217;t give the exact number but you can definitely find within + or &#8211; 1% where you are at.  For example if you measure out at 12% body fat you can assume that your probably around 11-13%.  As you start using this method as your body fat decreases you can definitely monitor your decrease correctly.  If you go from 12% to 11% you can definitely assume you have lost 1% body fat.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1608" title="hydrostatic body fat testing" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/hydrostatic-body-fat-testing.jpg" alt="" width="213" height="147" />The other form of measuring body fat is Hydrostatic body fat Testing (Getting Dunked) and Air Displacement Plethysmography or the &#8220;<a href="http://www.bodpod.com/" target="_blank" class="broken_link">Bod Pod</a>&#8221; (As seen on The Biggest Loser).  Both of these types of measurements take machines/facilities and trained staff in order to do them.  Both of these methods are quick, easy and usually cost around $50 per session.  If your looking to get a super accurate look at your full body composition then this is the way to go.  The only problem is that they are usually hard to find and cost a lot for what you can figure out using a body fat caliper basically.  Regardless, I decided to try the Hydrostatic testing and found out that I was at 4.5% body fat when I was determining how to get ready for the P90X2 Filming.  So it can definitely be worth looking into if your interested in getting another perspective.</p>
<p>Often we place to much emphasis on body weight.  When the scale doesn&#8217;t move we feel like we aren&#8217;t accomplishing our goals.  This isn&#8217;t necessarily the case.  What you should care more about is how well your clothes are fitting, and what is happening with your body fat %.  So instead of weighing yourself all the time, try using a body fat caliper and determining where you are at every 2-3 weeks.  Write it down, take your pics and monitor your progress.  I started at 16% body fat when I started P90X and finished at 8% on day 90.  I also went from 150lbs to 160lbs&#8230;if I wasn&#8217;t monitoring my body fat I might of thought I was doing something wrong.  I hope this gives you a better idea of how you can measure your body fat.</p>
