Description
TurboFire® is quick intensity to “Jump start” and bring fire to your metabolism!
Chalene Johnson is the award winning and highly sought after creator of the “Chalene Extreme” and “Turbo Jam”
workoutprograms. Chalene has appeared often as a fitness expert on TV networks because of her training, love and experience in martial arts. Combining all her wealth of experience Chalene has also developed “Turbofire” to help you continue in your endeavors to achieve peak fitness levels.
Turbo Fire is much more than just a “workout” ……it is a complete cardio conditioning system to help you tone up and burn off that belly by achieving sustained output bursts coined “Firedrills” at intervals that create “afterburning” of fat even up to 48 hours after your Turbofire workout! This is the best cardio dance based program out there designed to condition and sculpt the whole body.
Turbofire works in large part because of High Intensity Interval Cardio Training (HIIT). This is important for all those interested in efficient fat loss… Chalene’s “firedrills” work by burning up to 9 times more fat than most traditional cardio workouts. This in part is because HIIT engages your body to break down the substance of stored fat in the various “storage areas” throughout your body and then burns off those calories at a much higher rate than normal at the same time it is recovering from the workout AND rebuilding those muscles

The motivating music and Chalene make it fun so the workouts seem to go by quick…. with this DVD set you have the best trainer as well as the best seat in the class!!
Whether you are needing to lose 5 lbs or 50 pounds you can set your objectives and follow the complete system including the “Fuel the Fire Nutrition guide”. You will look good and feel accomplished. This is because eating right and burning calories means you will be taking inches and pounds off your lower, upper, and midsection to flatten your stomach by reducing the body fat percentage. Also the total body and cardio conditioning will give the increased energy to do more and that alone makes many feel they are in the best shape they have experienced in years!
Perhaps you are wondering if the only way to achieve physical fitness is to join a fitness club or if it is really possible to be successful working out at home. The answer is that so many are doing just that with big success and the truth is that the word party and fun come back in SO many of comments from Turbofire users. Lots and lots of users literally have workout parties with friends, neighbors and relatives all doing the sweat dripping and fat melting variety of dance, kick boxing and aerobic to get into and stay in shape together! It is much easier to stay committed to a program if you have others along on your ride.

More on Intensity Interval Cardio Training (HIIT). The attraction of HIIT is the benefit of burning more fat with less effort. This was seen in a study released in January 2007 in an article by researchers from the University of South Wales UNSW. The research team leader was associate professor Steve Boutcher who is the head of the Health and Exercise Science program at the UNSW School of Medical Sciences. The group was investigating and trying a different approach to exercising that burns MORE fat than does continuous regular exercise sessions. The study involved women who were considered obese, these women were then divided into two groups to be compared to each other in terms of fat loss results. One group did continuous bike riding in 40 minute sessions while the other only did 20 minute workouts consisting of intervals of 8 seconds of sprints followed by 12 seconds of light pedaling …………….the results were the second group with the session half as long as the first lost three times as much fast as the group that exercised twice as long! This is the essence of HIIT. It appears that intense interval sessions produces high levels of catecholamines which are chemical compounds that facilitate the burning of MORE fat from within the exercising muscles and from under the skin. The increased oxidation of fat drives the resulting greater weight loss. Turbofire uses HIIT and Chalene combines it with the fun of her music and dance.
More on TurboFire nutrition. Some say that Nutrition is the most difficult part of any truly helpful exercise
program and the truth is you can only go so far if you don’t eat right and for the long haul that is not nearly far enough. There is a saying that goes something like “Your abs are made in the kitchen” and I think it would be safe to say they can be lost there as well! So personal responsibility in the area of nutrition is the challenge you must accept and commit to. While it is true dealing with the temptation may seem hard, the bigger and much harder truth is living an unfit and unhealthy life at some point brings much more difficulty and discouragement – so pay now or pay more later!
The first step is education and the second is following the plan the guide lays out for you. The guide will help you understand how many calories you should set as your daily goal. Chalene has given you a list of menu options and recipes for meals and snacks, each of these with calories figured out for you so you do not have to guess. You can do this for SURE. The idea here is that you are aware of a daily total and you learn what eating healthy is and why it is SO important----there is simply no way around this part, so the best approach for us all is to make it part of your lifestyle.
Chalene will teach you some basics that will REALLY help you on your way like understanding nutrients, proteins, the difference between bad and good carbs and fats. In addition she teaches reading and understanding food labels and several other important points of knowledge.
The way you are going to lose weight is you are going to live by a concept that is called “Calorie Deficit”. This is not deficit in the sense of going hungry or eating nothing but boring food….to the contrary….you will eat often and find pleasure in food that is good for you and tastes great. It does mean however, you are going learn and change things up a bit in order to stop doing what overweight folks have LEARNED to do. Your new lifestyle will be aimed at losing weight each week ….about 1-2 pounds a week. This means you will burn 3500 calories per pound lost by creating a deficit of at least 500 calories per day. With this as your new lifestyle eating plan and program of exercise, you will be intentional about accomplishing your physical fitness and health objectives to get in great shape. The best part is you seriously can do this! We all have to be honest here………you MUST create the deficit but it makes the most sense to do this by means of a plan that is realistic and one you can stick too as a lifestyle. This means taking personal responsibility for how you are showing up in the earth and thinking with a level head to stay away from the fads and “too good to be true” stuff. Rather make the choices that take you where you REALLY want to go. Having said that we know everyone slips but the best thing at that point is get up…look forward at your objectives and get back after it. The best way to help you stay on track is to track your progress with some of the many apps around that help you track what you are eating and what you are doing. By what you are eating I mean they help you classify the food type and calorie amount very quickly so that it is a snap to enter either on your phone, tablet or PC etc. As well, “by what you are doing” I mean in terms if physical activity…….exercise! The good apps have great exercise programs that can have many varieties of exercise types and coordinate with GPS to even record where you run or bike or walk etc including how fast. The best part is these apps can calculate the burning of calories against your daily eating intake to let you know how you are doing on that deficit and factor that in with how many calories you are intentionally burning off with exercise. In the world of apps things are constantly being added and updated so take a little time to read the reviews and pick the one that is best for you. Noom and cardio trainer are great options to consider. The bottom line here is tracking your progress really helps you keep your eyes on the goal on a daily basis, this will help you succeed and get you excited as you see you are really, really, really on your way!
If you like replacement shakes consider replacing one of your meals with shakeology as they taste great and have very healthy ingredients. You can put this in measured quantities into zip locks to bring with you or you can even buy it that way in packets. Chalene goes into some detail for drink options and also stresses the importance of water. Here is a freebie…….not drinking enough water actually slows down your metabolism!
In terms of meals and snacks and when to eat?….. Packing fruit or veggies is always a good idea so you will be ready if you are out and about to avoid the urge to pull in for some toxic calorie laden fast food. Other alternatives for snacks are protein powder and performance bars. Chalene and everyone who knows what they are talking about specify to eat all through the day starting within the first hour of waking as part of speeding up your metabolic rate and keeping it fired up. This is best accomplished by thinking about 3 meals with two snacks five times per day minimum but not exceeding the daily calorie total. Again….do NOT skip breakfast, it is better to go to bed with an emptier stomach. Knowing when to eat is a big Key and as you employ this knowledge you will see what a difference it makes in your loosing pounds but also being generally satisfied………….water will help with hunger and sometimes the feeling of being hungry… is actually a sign that you are really actually thirsty! Lastly, SKIP desert but if you must having something go with sorbet or fresh fruit but do it soon after dinner and not before bed if possible. Some of the great mixers the demo like in Costco etc., can make a blend of fruit and squash ultra smoothies you would swear are some kind of ice cream….check it out!
We hope this information helps you with your decision about Turbofire and your health in general, if you like it then please consider “liking” it in your social media world!
