TurboFire Day 7 Results and Review
I made it through the last day of TurboFire’s week one. Today’s workout schedule included Core 20 and Stretch 40. Core 20 is twenty minutes of core work…that means a lot of abdominal work!
I could not compare Core 20 to any of the Ab Ripper workouts in P90X, but I can say that there is a “Mason Twist” with a twist. There are some moves that I think would fit very well in the P90X program. In other words, it takes a lot of focus to get through some of them.
Chalene does a lot of ab exercises in the standing position. She also incorporates the use of a resistence band to work the core. I especially liked the standing oblique work with the band.
As for the Stretch 40, it is so much more than the Stretch 10 TurboFire workout. It is actually a good yoga series. I think I enjoyed it more than the Dynamic Flow Yoga in the Deluxe version of ChaLean Extreme. I can say without a doubt that I enjoyed it more than P90X Yoga X.
Unlike Yoga X which is power yoga, Stretch 40 is more stretching and moves less quickly from one pose to the next. Stretch 40 does a wonderful job stretching your buttocks and hamstring muscles. I think Chalene spends a lot of time with these muscles because of all the squats, lunges, and kicks in TurboFire. She uses a resistence band in Strecth 40 to help you stretch just a little further. I felt absolutely wonderful after finishing this fitness program.
So, at the end of week one, I am right on track. I have lost one pound this week which is my weekly goal. I have adjusted my daily calories goal for next week from 1745 to 1775. Wow! I get to eat a little more…or maybe have just a bit of cream in my morning coffee?
