  • I love this thread! I've done P90X (twice - doubles one round), Slim in 6, Insanity, Turbo Fire and am currently doing a Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme Hybrid. I use the recovery drink (sometimes) and I drink Shakeology DAILY. Can't go without it. Love, love, love my results too :P

    i did brazil butt lift for 3 weeks, dont like most of the dvds just 1...but i will look for a better butt dvd workout or just do some myself beachbody promises too much in my opinion!

    Sorry to hear that you're not a fan of BB. Just my opinion, but I don't think any exercise DVD "promises" you anything. You get out of it you put into it.

    Yeah not really sure how a DVD work out promises anything. To each their own I guess.

    OK SO!!!!m This is my 8th week of P90X/Insanity Hybrid and today is my recovery week. I have decided to try out some Turbo Fire routines so I can see what they are like before I start the new hybrid (in a month).

    I did Core 20 and HIIT 20 today. Core 20 was eh.. kinda slow and nonchalant. The standing ab work seemed..idk..non effective. The floor workout was better. She uses bands in this workout. I think mine might be a bit too of a resistance for that. Only bands I have though. ABX is much more challanging.. even cardio abs might be a little more challanging. Other than that it was an ok workout.

    HIIT 20.. OMG - I loved it. It was fast paced, music was awesome! and it gets you reved the eff up! My heart rate has NEVER been that high during a cardio routine. Not even in insanity. Maybe because you move to differnt moves so much. Anyways for a 20 minute workout it was awesome.


    So far I after just doing HIIT 20.. I think I am going to LOVE Turbo Fire. =)

    I started yesterday and I can only imagine, if everyone thinks this is maintenance level work, how tough all the other workouts must be!! I will see how much I improve but won't be using it every day, I am still such a beginner that I feel I need more well-rounded exercises.

    To the OP - I have one DVD that I love for this - "Self: Your Best Butt Fast" - I would definitely recommend trying it if you're looking for a good tush workout. I love the instructor and it definitely made my tush sore.

    JLee- thanks for the info on Turbo Fire. The Core 20 that you did, does it come close to the Insanity core workouts? I'm getting the feeling that you don't like any of the core stuff from any of the DVD's. :tongue:

    Haha.. I do like core but added in with other things not just it by itself. I do like ABX and Cardio Abs. This is just basically ab workouts standing and with resistance bands.. then on the floor with resistance bands. To me it is basically a soft ab workout. Insanity Cardio Abs and ABX are both harder and more challenging than her Core 20.

    So today I did HIIT 30 and began Fire 30 just to see what it was like.

    HIIT 30 just as awesome as HIIT 20. I think that these are going to be my absolute favorites.

    Fire 30 seemed to be like an aerobics workout. I only did 10 minutes of it just to see what it was like. Not very intense, although maybe it is a bit later in the routine. Some of the moves are hard to catch onto but I am sure after doing it a few times it will be a piece of cake. I will say that I am a coordinated person that can dance etc.. and I was still all fumbled up lol.

    Fire 30 is my standby 4:15 a.m. before work workout. Perfect length and I get a good 325 calorie burn in a mere 30 minutes.

    @glf - nice burn for that one.. I will give it a shot again and the rest of the fire ones too. What is your opinion on the sculpt 30 and tone 30?

    I have done P90X twice and about to start TurboFire on 1/17. I won $300 in the WOWy gym so I'll be buying Insanity with that money. I LOVE Beachbody. I have never cared for the gym atmosphere and just love the freedom of working out at home. Of course, my living room looks like my mini gym but I can live with that. :smile:

    So how is everyone doing with their BB programs?

    I am on my recovery week and I just got Turbo Fire so I have been trying some of those workouts this week. I posted some reviews of the ones I have done and today was Fire 60. Great workout with 2 HIIT intervals thrown into it. Biggest burn for me in one workout to date. Loved it!

    I've only been doing P90X all week. I haven't done any running since Sunday. I hope to run at lunch today. My oldest daughter has been sick and my head just hasn't been completely in the game this week.

    No worries.. I am sure you'll be back at the game in no time!
  • :love: I Love BB!!!! I am a junkie, I swear!!!!

    I am on week 2 of the CLX/TF hybrid and LOVIN it!!!!

    I love Chalene and my man Shaun T!

    I have not tried P90X, or Insanity and although they are AMAZING programs, I need the music and dance-y stuff, so I stick with my favs!!!!!

    I do my wo's at 4:45am and wouldnt change it for the world! I love the energy I get and how I feel during and after! (would say before, but I am still waking up :huh: )

    Waiting to see what else is coming this year, I will probably get it!

    I think I heard through the grapevine that something called Asylum is coming out. I think it is supposed to be comparable to Insanity. Any confirmations on that, anyone?

    I do like the dancey stuff too....so when I do Insanity and P90X.. I turn down the TV volume and turn up my own music!

    I heard something about Asylum as well. Don't know when though.

    I'm thinking of turning down the TV volume and turning on music when I do the P90X workouts - after a couple of rounds of hearing Tony, I'm starting to quote him before he says things and it scares me. LOL.

    ME! I'm on my first BB program. I'm doing Turbo Jam. Tomorrow will end week 2. (Beginner program). I LOVE it, and I cant wait to move onto one of the harder programs. That's one of my main goals, to be fit enough to move up in difficulty on the BB programs. :)

    I just signed up to become a Beach Body Coach and I purchased Turbo Jam also.

    I will work my way up to P90X and Insanity!!

    I am also starting a Shakeology Cleanse!!

    So what's your overall opinion of TF? Based on your posts, it sounds like some of the DVD's are good and other not so good. Overall, it is worth it?
