This week of TurboFire has been going strong. Had the Fire 45 EZ class on Monday and the HIIT 25 on Tuesday with some stretch 10 class after each. Then followed up by a wonderful rest day yesterday. I had been up early for some work related stuff and it worked out perfected. I even got in a much needed nap.
I am really starting to dig these workouts more and more. The HIIT 25 was definitely a sweater and got you to really push yourself pretty hard. I think I have really gotten things figured out with most of the workouts in these first 3 weeks. I’ve found taken it slower at times, rewinding when necessary and just focusing on the moves, that the intensity level will continue to go up and the results will be even better. I’ve already noticed that my calorie burns have been higher each workout compared to the previous time doing the same type of workout. That is a bonus!
It doesn’t take much to get the job done. These for some would be considered ‘extreme’ workouts. But Turbofire is not designed like that. It is a program that can really be done by various levels of fitness and health. You work through the moves more and more each day till you get the routine down. You follow the low impact version that is given during the workout and work your way up to the higher intensity moves. It’s just like anything in life. But the only way to get the changes in motion is to start. DVR that soap opera or TV show, put down the WII or Xbox, don’t go snacking on chips and dip at night. Commit yourself to 30 – 45 minutes a night of activity.
These are shorter workouts than I am use to in the past. A few have been 45, 55 minutes, but the idea in mind here is to get the most bang for your time. You put in higher intensity, you get out longer term calorie burns. Especially on the HIIT workout days. Great cardio endurance.
So my promise to you and everyone out there is that I'll keep pressing play, and hopefully you will also. Let’s do this together. contact me with any questions and I know that you will find something that will work for you!
Decide. Commit. Succeed!
