Turbo Kick Fan Workouts

Hey All - I just ordered my first TK Fan DVD (vol 3) and am wondering how intense they are? Can anyone tell me how these workouts compare to TF? TIA!! I am so excited to try Turbo Sport, it's gotten so many rave reviews on this site

I'd rate them somewhere in between TJ and TF - they're more intense than the Turbo Jams, but not as frantic as Turbo Fire. Volume 3 is my personal favorite of the fan volumes.

I agree with fitness*fanatic, based on the one I have, Vol 3. If there isn't going to be any more Turbo Fire workouts, I wish Chalene would do some longer Turbo Kick workouts.

I love the Turbo Sport and I like Chalene's sister leading. Does anyone know...I can't tell from the Turbokick website, if there are any more Turbo Sport workouts besides the first two?

Aren't they almost an hour in length already?? I have 3,5 & 6 and they're each an hour long! I like my TK a lot, and I agree, they're in between TJ & TF.

There are only two Turbo Sports to date.

The newest Turbo Kick workouts are closer to the Turbo Kick workouts in intensity. Chalene has definitely upped the intensity in the last two to three Turbo Kick workouts. The choreography has gotten a bit trickier, too.

The workouts in its entirety is close to an hour. This includes the finesse/lower body/upper body/stretch sections.

The Turbo Fire workouts with more than one fire drill and finales are formatted like her Best of workouts.

The big difference right now is that the music in the Turbo Kick workouts isn't as good as the Turbo Fire workouts. I don't even think the music on the cds is that good.

I think, like Debbie said, the workout in its entirety is close to an hour. I think the actual cardio part is between 30-40 minutes.

Yes, that's absolutely true.

While I like the music on TK (not as much as TF, but it still beats the music on any other cardio DVDs that I know of), I don't think it is loud enough. I love the "Pump Up the Music" option on TF. I wish I could increase the volume of the music on the TKs without increasing the volume of Chalene as well. Not that I don't love her, of course. Her voice is just a little hard on my rinky-dink speakers.

I have been wondering (ok, sounds dumb...) but how do you get in on these workouts? I am loving Turbo Fire and these (the clips) look fun too.
How much are they?
TIA
