TurboFire...

Hey everyone!! I am about to start my Turbo Fire but I am curious approx how many calories you are burning with different classes?? And how are you adding it here on MFP?? I don't have a heart rate monitor that measures calories burned, I only have my nike+ sensor and not sure how accurate that will be for measuring cals burned...

TIA for all the input!!

I've done the Hiit15, Hiit 20, Fire 55 EZ (NOT easy), Fire 30 and Fire 45 (new to class) workouts so far.

I burn, on average, about:

175 calories with Hiit 15
185 calories with Hiit 20 (I find the 20 easier than the 15)
690 calories with Fire 55 EZ
425 with Fire 30
615 with Fire 45 (using the new to class option)

That said, everyone's going to be different. Your caloric burn is determined by intensity as well as your weight, lean muscle mass, etc. There are a lot of people saying they're burning in excess of 600 calories on the short 15-20 minute HiiT workouts. I honestly don't know how that's feasibly possible. I wear a Bodybugg and oftentimes wear a HRM at the same time and get similar readings for the workouts I do. My Bodybugg measures my calorie burn/minute, and it takes a LOT for me to get to a 10-11 calorie/minute burn. I seriously feel like I'm ready to die when I get it that high (and my HR is right around 90-92% max). To burn 600 calories in 20 minute, I would have to maintain a 30 calorie/minute burn. I don't see that happening...EVER).

I'm starting my Turbo Fire/ChaLean Extreme hybrid on Sunday. I have to finish my last 3 days of my current CLX round and then I'm right there with you.

I think the most I've burned from any of the TurboFire workouts was close to 400 calories. Guess I should add the weighted gloves!

How can I calculate mine without the body bugg??

OMG!! I did Fire 45 last night with gloves and I am so sore today!! Totally makes a difference, you should try it!!

Haha I love that you said that Fire 55 EZ is not easy - I totally agree. I feel like I'm about to die at the end of all the workouts, even the EZ ones.

I bought a Body Bugg today because I'm curious to see what I burn in each workout.

I have done turbo fire for round 2 months now and I have been burning on an average of 300 to 800 cals with every work out. the HIIT work outs keep your heart rate elevated for a lil while after the work out (varies from work out to work out) so you burn a lot more cals and fat even after the work out!
