Can someone please tell me if TurboFire has a lot of lunges and squats in the workouts? I have hip displasia and need to modify my cardio.

Yes, it has quite a bit of lunges and squats. There is also a lot of high intensity jumping. It is a wonderful program, however, and they do show modifications.

TurboFire does have Lunges, Squats and you JUMP alot. You can watch one of the trainers that is doing a less intense workout. Pay attention to the disclaimer because they want you to be safe.

I did it post baby (so not that great of shape) but I did hip hop abs and alpha and beta first. Gamma is definitely tough but the modifier moves help. its been not quite 7 months since I had my baby and I'm just starting to not modify the moves but I've dropped 30 pounds already using modified moves so I think its pretty great.... it all depends on your will power. that said, Gamma's cardio is, in my opinion, better than Alpha or Beta because itseems more focus and strength oriented rather than a ton of seemingly random jumping around like Alpha and Beta. even if you can't go as fast as they do at first you can concentrate on your form and get the same results as long as you are challenging yourself. I love it and I recommend it. Good luck!

I've used turbo Jam before, but no other programs. new to fitness myself. they clearly tell you to eat better when you do this. a diet diary is a effective tool to help. As for Turbo Fire. I am seeing results in the first 3 weeks of doing it, but i am also doing the diet diary and the food watching. Which by doing that it helps you with the program. you can't sit and eat potatoe chip and pork rinds and hope this program will work. Its a change in ways. But I'd recommend it if you are willing to put the work into it---DO IT :)

There is a lot of jumping, but not on the scale of Insanity. Turbo has more kicking and rapid moving between exercises compared to Insanity. Turbo uses resistance bands quite a bit, which is much easier on the joints. Hope this helps.

No - This descriptive review lists the workouts included in the first set I bought and reviewed here on Amazon: http://www.prettyindayton.com/2011/04/review-turbofire-basic-program-finally.html. I refer to it to remind me which workout is which. From what I can tell, I think the $80 set is a different package of the cardio workouts. It includes the starter set workouts and some of the workouts from this set. It doesn't have the 2 EZs or any of the core/strength workouts from the set I bought, but it has a Fire 40, which I don't have on any of the others. The Fire 55 could be the same as the Fire 55EZ, don't know. There's no "Fire 55" in my pack. The one I bought also has a bonus of the first Chalean Extreme Burn Circuit workout, which gives you a taste of that program. It comes with slots for the 4 DVDs with 5 advanced workouts (Fire 60, HIIT 30, Upper 20, Lower 20, Abs 10), which I bought separately off of Amazon. The starter pack I bought separately has the Fire Starter, Low HIIT 20, Low HIIT 25. "Low" means it concentrates on showing you a low-impact workout, but they are still very intense. These appear to be included in the $80 set. Every DVD has "Stretch 10." Personally, I think it's well worth the extra $15 to have the strength program pieces included. The Core 20 is a great workout, and I plan to use the other strength ones while traveling because I can easily carry resistance bands in my suitcase.

Would you recommend The Exhilarate Set? I'm in desperate need of a good workout (not boring) and I'm not sure which set to buy? Thanks!

Hi shell- absolutely not and i'm also a 2 left feet person. The key to it is reviewing the basic dvd which explains the moves in a very simplistic way. When starting off with the workouts there's the option to not play music so you can hear the instructions from the lead instructors who by the way make the workout really enjoyable. It seems that you have curiousity for kickboxing/mixed martial arts and I say go for it! I've experienced missteps during the workout many times but as the saying goes pratice makes perfect and most importantly have FUN! :)

I have the fluidity barre and use it with my physique57 dvd's but I have also used the dvdks without the barre and had good results. I just started doing the monthly challenge and I'm already seeing results.

Hello! I do not have this product myself, but I just finished watching some of the sample exercises. It seems that you would want to focus less on the cardio/dance section...maybe just once or twice a week for good measure, and pay more focus to the 'Bum Bum' workout, which is the the main butt sculpting section. I've been in and out of the gym for years and was an athlete all my life, so I know how most types of exercise work for the female body. For example, I've been doing some Tracy Anderson YouTube videos this past week. Although her goal is to get you to be the 'teeniest, tiniest' you, this is NOT my personal goal. I'm tall and thick, with a J-Lo type lower body. I simply wanted to lift my butt back up, give it a rounder, fuller appearance even, and do minimal toning to my thighs and arms. So instead of doing all of her exercises with speed and high reps and NO weight, I strap on ankle weights and do each move in a very controlled and slow manner, only doing about 15 reps of each exercise. This will lift and tone muscle rather that cause it become too compact. And in just a few days I started to noticed lift in my bum, toning on the sides of my legs, and better overall appearance. So I think if you stick to that type of agenda, being sure to really concentrate on the move, really engaging your glute muscles, and not doing everything too fast...and definitely minimizing your cardio, you will get the results you are after. I'm not a certified trainer, although I briefly studied sports med. in college, but I've been working for years on sculpting nice glutes and legs...so I know what works and what DOESN'T work for women. HTH!

If your relatively fit and have some experience with boot camp classes then no. The only bad thing though is that Gamma has no abs or focused lower body workouts. There is also no stretching video but you can get away with just stretching on your own so that's no biggie.

I have found this to be the case for me too. I have not been able to use the programs, other than the lowest setting. I also have strength in my legs. Otherwise I like the machine a lot. I do wish we could reduce the resistance to enjoy the workout programs. Maybe Xterra could answer this issue???

I feel there is such an abundance of fitness work that can be done on this excellent machine without relying on the cardio rebounder, which I never use anyway. That said I do not find it an issue.

There is a low impact modification for people with bad knees, back, ankles, etc. My wife could not do Insanity because of the high impact, but she has finished Alpha and Beta rounds of T25 with amazing results doing all low impact modification. What's the best is we can do it together for motivation. I do the regular workout and she follows Tanya, the low impact modifier person.I highly recommend this workout to anyone. In fact, we saw such dramatic results, we are now doing the Gamma cycle.

There's actually very little dancing. They try to hide the workout by making it look like dancing, but it's really not. There is a lot of twisting & the modified is very little modification (essentially walking instead of jumping). I don't recommend it for anyone with weak knees, he constantly gives safety reminders due to all the knee action involved.
