Fire 45 Review
I’ll cut to the chase; this is one of my favorite TurboFire workouts, and I love them all
Fire 45 consists of 4 combos, 3 turbos , and an extended Finale. The sequence is: Combo 1, Combo 2, Fire Drill 1, Combo 3, Fire Drill 2 and 3, Combo 4, Finale, and Cool Down. ! I always do the section from the first Turbo straight through to the third Turbo twice and turn it into an hour long workout just because it’s so fun!
In addition to the usual fare of hi-lo punches with jump, twists, throw, and zig-zag knee, this workout features spead bag arms and The Wheel. 3 of the 4 combos have kick sequences (which includes front, back and side-kicks).
The second and third Turbo are the same, and they include a short “Proud Mary” riff with the “Tina Turner” signature move. There are lots of high knees and hit the floor moves in the Turbos.
The music, as usual, is great. The fourth combo is a total blast (includes elbow jabs and side-kicks), and the music fits the moves perfectly. The major song for this combo is “Boom I got your Boyfriend,” and the lyrics have troubled some TurboFire fans.
The Cool Down and Stretch are very short, under 3 minutes-- I prefer this timing. I do not like the longer cool down/stretches on some of the other Fire workouts. The 10 minute stretch can be added if one wants a longer stretch.

Instructor Comments:
Chalene has great energy as usual, and when she says her TurboFire "You're not tired" mantra, you believe her!
