Turbo Fire Week In Review



Turbo Fire 45 EZ Class is my favorite Turbo Fire Workout. I just really like how the combos and music come together in this one. The workout clock in at 43:40. It has one finale but no drills.
A drill wasn't necessary. I burnt almost as many calories in the 45 EZ Class as I did in the 45 Class.
Just super high energy and motivating fun from Chalene.
Tone 30 Class clock in at 30:17 and it features a standing and floor section. The standing sections contains compound upper body and lower body moves that are followed by upper body only moves.
The floor section are all compound exercise type moves that work multiple body parts.
The workout uses both the band (tube style) and a lower body band. I did use the bands for the whole workout, although I am sure you can substitute dumbbells. A solid toning workout.
HiiT 25 Class length is 24:32. It features 4 drills that are repeated twice. The first drill is 69 seconds, the second - 67 seconds, the third - 69 seconds and the last drill is 56 seconds. Lots of pounding in HiiT 25. I felt a twinge in my back while doing the last drill.
I do like this workout because I think the drills flow the best in this HiiT workout than in the other HiiT workouts. I just have to remember to modify in the future.
Turbo Fire 45 EZ Class - 5 stars
Turbo Fire Tone 30 Class - 3 stars
Turbo Fire HiiT 25 Class - 4 1/2 stars

    Just a quick question Saundra, can you get as good a workout with bands as with weights? I know with some of Cathe's bonus band exercises, I do find them tough but then maybe it's because I'm tired already.

    Susan, I don't but don't like the bands.
    I find them to be awkward so I prefer to work out with weights.
    I don't think I am always doing the workouts correctly with the bands or I can never find the band with the right tension to work the muscle group properly.

Image

On the HSN website the treadmill is called Pro-Form Step Up Personal Trainer Treadmill. The price of this treadmill is $699.95 and the Shipping & Handling is free. I have had this treadmill since May. Assembly is required. It took me and another about an hour, maybe a little less to put it together. The instructions are fairly detail and everything went together as it should. I had the 2007 model of this treadmill, but I like the advertised upgrades so much I decided to get this one. Pre-Program Work outs The 2011 model comes with 16 Pre-program workouts. Of the 16, 4 are distance, 5 are timed, and 7 are calorie burned workouts. The distance workouts are 1 mile, 5K, 10K, and 1/2 Marathon.

Tony Horton P90X Plyometrics - Thoughts

Image
Plyometrics .  This means you are jumping. This means high impact. Although there were some none or low-impact exercises. The workout is about 59 minutes. The warm is about 9 minute and 30 seconds. Like the other P90X workouts that I have done, Plyometrics uses rounds as well. There are two rounds in which you are doing 4 exercises. The exercise are performed for either 30 or 60 seconds. After each round you get a water break. At the end of the workout, there is a bonus round that includes three exercises that were sports specific. The workout concludes with a 5 minute stretch and cool down. I am including a worksheet of the exercises. This is my least favorite of the P90X workouts that I have done thus far. Plyometrics just felt long.  Although I did think the soundtrack was very good and I burned a lot of calories. Equipment - towel, heart rate monitor 3 stars

Tony Horton P90X Legs & Back - Review

Image
This is my second week of P90X workouts and it starts with disc 5, Legs & Back . There are 22 exercises.  For every two leg exercises, there is one back exercise. So the pattern is - do two legs and then 1 back exercise. There are a variety of legs exercises but all the back exercises are pull up/chin up exercises. There is a cardio warm up followed by a stretch.  Then you move into the 22 exercises, each of which has a time associated with it. Sometimes you are doing as many reps as you can and at other times, Tony gives you an exact rep number he wants you to perform.  A stretch cool down concludes the workout. While I was sore after this workout and felt the challenge, I really didn't care for a lot of the exercises in this workout. The workout clocks in at around 59 minutes. Equipment used:  pull up bar,  bands, weights. 2 & 3/4 stars
