One of today's hottest new workouts is Turbo Fire by Chalene Johnson
, fitness guru and creator of Turbo Jam and ChaLEAN Extreme, and Beachbody, one of the creators of P90X. Turbo Fire is a mega intense cardio workout focused on the HIIT system. HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training and is made up of combining intense, short bursts of exercise with brief rest periods.
HIIT consists of 30-second bursts of cardio performed at your highest intensity level to get your metabolism going strong and help you burn calories for up to 24 hours after your TurboFire workout! Your workout does not have to be long if you are willing to give the intensity to your workout.
This workout dvd is different from others. Chalene conducts the turbo fire workout in a fitness class setting so you feel like you are really in the class. The camera pans around the room instead of staying in one spot so you may see people in front of you or off to the side. You always have a great view of TurboFire creator, Chalene Johnson performing the exercises. She is on a great looking turbofire themed stage set higher than the class. The best part about this class is that you can do it in the comfort of your home and avoid driving to the gym to fight for the best spot in turbo fire class!
The Turbo Fire workout set includes everything that one needs to get up and running with Charlene's program. In addition to 11 workout DVDs including 12 workouts, there is a Nutrition Guide that lays out a calorie-focused plan that complements the workout schedule. Charlene Johnson includes a great deal of information to help you get started on the right foot.
Although this turbofire hiit class was only 16 minutes, it was intense. I am in great shape and had a tough time getting through turbo fire. I like the format of turbo fire because I really felt more like I was in a class instead of just following an instructor on a dvd. It's very cool!
