Turbo Fire preview disc

Got the preview disc today. It's a HiiT workout, about 20 min. total.

Here's what the dvd case says: If P90X and Turbo Jam had a love child...She would be named TurboFire, the calorie-scorching superhero.

Chalene goes on to describe her Fire Drills. 30 second bursts of cardio performed at your highest intensity level. She talks about how HiiT is short but you can burn up to 9x the fat and calories. (I wish.)

This workout is called TurboFire HiiT 15 Class.

Some comments while previewing:

If you got tired of watching Cathe and crew high five each other during the breaks, you won't like this. They are doing it less as the workout goes on.

This is very high impact. I'm used to high impact but they look like they're literally stomping the floor with this impact, so I hope they have an excellent floor. There is a modifier.

They are repeating drills. It looks like each drill is done three times.

The little timer clocks are small. Too small for me to read.

Chalene previews the moves during the rests.

Did this come with your Tony One-on-One subscription?

Do you think you'd be able to do this on a rebounder?

Hi ddj-Thanks for the review! On a side note, are you going to be previewing or trying the One on One "4 Legs" workout anytime soon? Would you mind sharing some details on it (exercises, duration of time, intensity level)? I'm going to order this workout (want a good sub for the Legs section of Legs & Back), but since I'm not a subscriber cannot order until next month (not available in the TBB shop for single disk purchase). I'm just curious for more information on it, I would appreciate it.

The drills are very similar to a Turbo. After they rest, Chalene explains the moves coming up and they jog in place until they hear the siren and the drill begins. One of the moves is a plyo lunge (Tony calls it Mary Katherines) so if you can do a lunge on a rebounder, I guess that would work. I'd have to watch it again to refresh my memory on the choreography.

Yes, this came with the One On One dvd.

Cardiomamma, I will try to preview the One On One before too long and will report on it as well.

Thanks for this info ddj !

Which One-On-One workout did the Turbo Fire preview come with ?

It seems like Volume Two of the One-On-One's is getting better reviews than Volume One.

I may splurge for the whole Volume Two series when they do the package deal after Volume 12 unless this bonus disc is strictly for monthly subscribers???
