I’m a Zumba instructor and I love trying other intense cardio exercises.
In this article you will find my Turbo Fire review, as well as information on where you can get it and other Beachbody fitness programs at a great price.
I first saw Turbo Fire on an infomercial one night while changing channels. What drew me to the entire commercial was the dance music hits and the fun moves that accompanied them. The movements also seemed to be mixed with cardio and resistance training. This was a great advantage in my book.
In the beginning, you definitely have to go slow to learn the moves, as they can go quite fast.
This program is great because there is a ‘New to class’ option that is like a tutorial for some of the movements.
When you start the actual workouts, just jump in and get started. At first there is no stretching exercise; just a brief warm-up. This is the same for my Zumba classes and I love how my heart races right away. I feel like I’m definitely getting a better workout.
Turbo Fire is a combination of kickboxing and dance moves, which is what makes it so much fun.
If you’ve done Zumba before, this program is like Zumba on steroids. It is much more intense and will tone you much more than just a regular cardio workout.
The HIIT classes that Turbo offers are like intense workouts to burn fat. And the best part is, you get 3 DVDs filled with these cool little workouts.
There are also 2 classes of Fire EZ. These classes are not as intense, but they maintain their place in the program while still offering a good part of the fitness routine.
With all the intense classes that come with Turbo Fire, Chalene (TF’s fitness guru) definitely didn’t forget about stretching classes. Stretching is essential after warming up your muscles, and Turbo gives you a good 40-minute routine, as well as a 10-minute stretch included with every workout.
For those of you who have never done HIIT classes before, this program comes equipped with a prep schedule to prepare for these workouts.
I found the toning classes to be some of the best I have taken so far. Chalene definitely favors push-ups, and her push-up routines will definitely get your upper body in shape.
Kickboxing includes jabs, crosses, hooks, uppercuts, round-house and push kicks, kicks, zigzags, and many other forms.
There are also a couple of new movements named after this product, as well as other new combinations and variations on the old ones.
There are a fair amount of plyometrics (jumps), so it’s best to make sure your knees are in great shape before getting too involved in this program.
The music that is chosen for this set of exercises is excellent. There are many hits from the 70s, 80s, 90s and modern dance included. You will get songs like “Push It”, “Bad Girls” and “Proud Mary”. You will also hear great artists like Donna Summer, Flo Rida, Tina Turner and many more.
Where to get it at a good price.
As you can probably see from my Turbo Fire review, the program is absolutely great. The only thing that put me off was the price.
The good thing was that I was able to do all the training on Amazon for a really great price. Even better, the show came with other cool stuff.
Although this program is more expensive for fitness DVDs, it is definitely worth it. I’ve never been in better shape.
