301/365 Turbo Fire: Kickboxing + Dancing = Cardio Fun

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

Poor Kelby has heard me talk about Turbo Fire for the last couple months. It's a DVD set by Beach Body that I've been wanting to try and considering to purchase. Finally I was actually able to try one of the DVDs thanks to a gym member. Today's 10K Training assignment was to do 60 min of cross training; hello Turbo Fire!

The gym member Erin advised me to take the Fire 30 class because it had the "New to Class" tutorial. Needless to say, I was a little lost when I did Fire 45 (I wanted to get closer to the target 60 min), a 45 min class you do later in the schedule when you already know Chalene's routine. Still, after a few repetitions of her combos I did get the hang of it and really had a fun time. The music is hot and makes you want to move. Chalene is super pumped, smiling, and able to motivate you throughout the whole thing. It is a fun mix of kickboxing and dancing. I didn't realize how much I was sweating, how red my face was getting, and how hard my heart was pumping until it was over.

After my 10K, I've decided to switch gears and get Turbo Fire for my next exercise regiment.

In health,

Lauren
