Why Interval Training Works

Workouts that are based on interval training, like Turbo Fire, have been shown to be more effective than regular workouts based on a steady, moderate level pace. Professional athletes have always known that workouts involving short bursts of intense activity then rest or low speed activity produce better results.

They have had the advantage of professional trainers leading them in Interval training but now anyone can take advantage of this type of training right in their own home. Interval training improves a persons aerobic capacity, allowing them to train for longer periods of time and to get more benefit from this training.

Chalene Johnson uses High Intensity Interval Training, which she calls “HIIT” in her TurboFire workout video. This method turbo charges the metabolism, allowing a person to burn more calories and lose weight quickly. You’ll even burn calories faster when at rest after the workout. Athletes have done this type of training for years, but Chalene makes if fun and more practical for the average person.

You don’t feel like you are training for a football match with TurboFire as she combines Interval training and upbeat music. You get a short, but intense workout that is fairly easy for anyone to do. Once you see the fat start melting off, you will be a fan of this type of training too.
