For those of you doing turbofire and tracking your calories on my fitness pal, have you noticed that there is a big difference between the recommended daily calories. I know part of it is because of the fact that you burn calories for hours after you do the HIIt workouts. Turbo fire says the average calories that you burn per workout is 450. I average about 300. Then it bumps up to 500 calories for week 6-12and then 700 for weeks 13-20. I am in week 6 which has more hiit trainings so it's hard to know how many more calories I will be burning after the workouts. I guess I could wear my heart rate monitor and see. I just want to get to the right calorie range so I see results and to not to be too low to go into starvation mode. I feel that the turbo fire may be geared to people who are already fit and pick up the routines quickly. I am still trying to get all of the moves and really push myself as much as I can.0

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts are designed to add muscle! That in turn burns more fat and calories when you do cardio. That is why you look better and burn more calories when you use HIIT workouts. They work great, if you do them how you are supposed to, to build the muscle that eats the fat when you do cardio or aerobic workouts.
Yah no...unless you are eating at a surplus HIIT is not going to add muscle...
to the OP I do a HIIT session 2x a week (off days of lifting) , I started this in the new year and it definately boosts your weight loss.
I had been averaging 1/2lb a week (which was fine) but when I added HIIT in it went to an average of 1.33lbs a week...and it helped me lose that extra holiday weight (1.5lbs) in no time.0 -
I don't do Turbofire, but I am always markedly hungrier the day after an HIIT session due to that metabolic fire being stoked.
For this reason, if I really pushed it, I usually double or triple the time logged for that workout to make it more realistic. I think this is also why activities like Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, etc are all SUPER high calorie burns. They are all naturally HIIT workouts.0 -
Yes you burn more as the day goes she even says that in the workout and think about it you burned 200 almost in 15 mins thats very good! and i think its really only 10 mins of a workout the rest is warm up at the start and end so really 10 mins you burned almost 200 and you will keep burning more through out the day0
