I did a prelim watch of all 3 programs, and like all Beach Body routines they are put together very well.  All come with a very detailed diet plan and great workouts for the “levels” associated with the videos. (And the specialty workout equipment)

If you LOVE LOVE LOVE gospel music, Body Gospel may be made for you.  A bit more of a religious slant than I would ever go for, but hey, I am not the target audience.  Would be very good for anyone just starting their fitness journey, and really likes both inspirational commentary and gospel music.  I’ll admit, some of the music it great, but still not my thing.

Next I watched the Brazil Butt Lift videos, and reviewed the companion material.  If you are looking to work that rump, make that flat booty round, or go from badonkadonk to BAM, this may be your workout!  The instructor did a great thing with the videos, as he made sure that all the basic movements could be worked on BEFORE you begin the program.  This way you can spend all your time getting your butt kicked to the max!  There are also specific programs to help tighten, lift or add shape to your bum.  (All dependent on what you have now!)

And finally, TurboFire.  Chalene Johnson’s newest “Extreme” fitness program.  If you loved TurboJam, this is that program with a SUPERCHARGER attached.  Chalene really looks to have outdone herself, and I was very impressed with the “Watch Me First” video she did.  A lot of basic and very true info in there.  (Very much what Smurf has been telling people for years!)  I am very impressed with Chalene for her honest and factual conversation.  She really sets realistic expectations and lets you know up front that you will get out of this workout what you put in.  She gives you the tools to build a better body, it is up to you to use them the best you can, and continue to improve. 

What I am not going to do is go into a disk by disk review of these workouts, as they are not my “thing” and I would come out pretty biased.  That being said, each does a great job with their demographic.  Body gospel is great for people needing to start a program, and looks great for the 60-80 year young community.  You will get moving, you will feel better, and you can get your “God on” every day! 

Brazil Butt Lift is fantastic for targeting that trouble spot, and will rock your core!  This will challenge the beginners as well as the fit.  If your butt isn’t all you want it to be, this may be your secret weapon.  (And I want before and after pics!  heh!)

TurboFire. This will make you sweat, will make you hurt, and will test the fittest of us.  This is cardio madness. You will lose weight and tighten up by working out to this program, and Chalene even has a hybrid workout combining Chalene Extreme and Turbofire.  (For the truely sadistic)  If you love a carsio kick class, you will LOVE TurboFire!
