TurboFire – What to Expect in the Beginning
I am in my seventh week of TurboFire, but I wanted to back up just a bit to talk about what to expect when you start TurboFire. First, you will need to read everything that comes with the program and watch the first dvd. This will give you a good overview of what to expect as you progress through the program.
Ok, where do you start? It depends upon your current fitness goals. There are four workout schedules available: Prep, 20 Week TurboFire schedule, TurboFire and ChaLean Extreme Hybrid schedule, and the Inferno Plan.
Watch a couple of “new to class” workouts to help decide where to begin. The 5 day Inferno Plan is designed to kickstart your TurboFire program, but it is hard from the start in my opinion since you are seeing these workouts for the first time. I started with the Inferno Plan and managed to make it through. If you want to start here, just be prepared to work and willing to step back for a little while if needed.
If you are not a ChaLean Extreme graduate, you probably will not want to do the hybrid program even if you have the ChaLean program. Focus on one program at a time and then, combine them for maintenance and variety.
On to the basic 20 week TurboFire workout schedule…you might find that the workouts are difficult in the beginning. You are not familiar with the sequence of moves. You may feel behind. You may feel frustrated because everyone on dvd seems to get it perfect. Trust me, no one gets it perfect in the beginning.
That is one of the beautiful things about work at home fitness dvds and Beachbody workouts – you do not have to get it perfect. No one is watching. You can modify as needed to fit your current fitness level. If you try to modify and still feel uncomfortable, try the Prep schedule. The Prep schedule focuses on just a few classes. The routine of performing the workouts for a while will help build your confidence and skill level.
Always remember that you can learn new things. Have fun with your TurboFire workouts. If you feel discouraged, find a workout buddy or talk to your coach. You can also get a lot of support online at Team Beachbody. You can get a free account with or without a Beachbody program. I highly encourage getting an account so you can take advantage of the chat rooms, calorie calculators, etc. It is free, so why not?
