Does anyone know which program is harder/more intense, Turbo Fire or Combat?

I have done three rounds of TurboFire and found that Combat was not as cardio-challenging as I thought it was going to be. My opinion is TurboFire is harder/more intense but not joint damaging. Combat doesn't provide the flow that TurboFire has where you can up the intensity in the moves if you want as described by another reviewer.

I've heard a lot of people say Turbo Fire because it has a lot of high impact throughout. Combat is intense in other ways, it has less impact (does have some though) and is a workout based on true MMA. I've only done Combat (love it) so I can't comment anymore on Turbo Fire.

In my opinion I would say they are equal in intensity. I thought turbo fire was boring to be honest a lot of the moves are repetitive in every workout. Combat is enough intensity and the workouts fly by. I hope this helps! :-)

I dont know about turbo fire but combat' hiit workout is just as challenging as an insanity workout the combat punching anf kicking workout depends on your technique so in the begining they just seem like a long warmup but when you get the technique right you'll feel it my waist have gone from 73-70 cm in 60 days i have had an mixed week of workout This week but ill start a 2nd round next month if you buy try to get the ultimate warrior package i burned 400 calories in lower body lean out and the actual workout time is aprox 27min :)

This program has a less base intensity than Turbo Fire. As with any combat program you can turn up the intensity by performing the movements with more speed and power, but just keeping up with the movements requires less intensity than Turbo Fire.

I personally have owned and tried Turbo Fire. I was not a fan. I have a friend who swears by it....I however was not a fan. She has done the Combat with me as well and loves. I think it depends on what kind of a fitness personality you have. I like the grittiness of the Combat over the choreography of the Turbo Fire. My opinion, if you haven't done Turbo Jam to understand her style and moves it is pretty hard to follow along. It would take several sessions to get the choreography down. However the Combat does break it up nicely. I break a sweat - a pretty good sweat I might add - everytime I do Combat. So to sum it up. I feel both are intense. I feel the choreographing for Turbo fire makes it "harder" to follow, but conditionally it is the same kind of workout. 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.

It maxes out. I didn't know that there was a Bop It Extreme 2. The Bop It XT maxes out at 100 moves.

Speaking for myself, I'm not following a program. I'm doing the ACTIVATE DVD this month, then I plan to move onto the EXHILARATE DVD next month. It took me three days for my body to adjust to following the steps and still, I'm not perfect with all the moves, but I'm keeping up. RUSH is WAY too advanced for me right now, although it is 20mins. So, I'm just having fun with ACTIVATE for the moment. Don't kill yourself trying to keep up, listen to your body ( unless your body tells you to give up, then don't listen!)

Asylum 1 and 2 are basically the same concepts per disc just different workouts. Prepares you for agility and strength in sports but just great workouts even if you aren't in sports. Asylum 1 Game Day is better than Asylum 2 Championship Day. Asylum 2 Agility workout is cardio speed agility moves but so fast we like Asylum 1 speed and plyo discs better. Both have great strength discs. Asylum 2 has great leg disc. Get both!!!

If I had money, I would get the Combat+ for looks. I haven't tried the Combat+ But I do not believe they are twice as good. I would get the Transform. These are great!!!

Yes, it is intense. But if you have done turbo jam it is just like 2 steps up above that. You should be ok!

I would recommend the non-beginner one. The adults in my family are addicted to it as well as all the kids. Would recommend. All the Think Fun games are great.

Battle Kid 2 Lite, Phoenix HD, and Spellsword are all a lot of fun. If you like Neo Geo shoot em ups from the late 90s, Blazing Star works as well.For Blazing star, you need to minimize the game once it's running, then re-open for the icade to sync.I've heard Stardash is gameboy-style fun as well but I haven't played it.

I prefer the Galahad, or Kutzall Extreme Wheels for leveling. I find the Turbo Plane accels at cutting concave and blending curves. For me personally (owning all three) i feel the Cutting action of the Galahad is a little easier to control in leveling. Try not to buy the Lie that Says, "little or no sanding is required following the Turbo Plane" they all require finish work with sanding equipment if you desire a really nice clean surface. Hope this Helps. Have Fun with your project!!

I bought Turbo Jam a few years ago and had to return it within a couple of weeks. Loved the workout, but it really hurt my knees. Use it with knee problems at your own risk.

I would recommend you start with Alpha and Beta before purchasing Gamma. Alpha and Beta will prepare you for all of Gamma's intensity!

To me, it plays like an arcade game, the missions and campaigns have to be played with unlimited ammo, and invincibility, since to "win" you have destroy more targets than can be considered in any way "realistic". To be fair, the graphics and aircraft are the best I have ever seen.

David - not sure what you are asking. Extreme or Turbo Boost maximizes the response time. I have this Samsung computer. Great value!

I played it on my laptop. Use whatever scdreen you want. What matters is the unit that plays the program.

You go through a 30 min workout such as: hit-kick, yoga and short-turbo workouts. These are included in the program. It is to gear you up and get you ready for the intensity of the turbo program. You can do the prep program more than once in order to prepare if you would like.

Definitely! There's 5 separate difficulty levels, which is more than what most games have. With each difficulty level, enemies become slightly stronger and more accurate, and you become more susceptible to damage.
