Oh, it's a soaker all right! I did HIIT 15 and my legs felt like noodles after. I was really surprised at how intense it was for just a 15 minute workout. I've been doing interval training and plyometrics for a few months now and I wasn't expecting to be so wiped and energized at the same time after just 15 minutes.
I think the key is that it is so short it made it easier for me mentally to go all out on the intervals, whereas with programs like Insanity I would definitely pace myself because the intervals were longer.
Really like it so far. I won't do the whole program as prescribed til after I finish CLX, but I'm definitely picking and choosing TF workouts as add-ons and replacements for CLX cardio days.
It's still a tad dance-y for my taste (I'm seriously choreography-challenged), but I think that's more my perception because they add a dance-y flavor to their moves (jumps, kicks, etc).

I've heard it's short and sweet and some people have reported having an afterburn of at least twice as much as with regular cardio. This is my kind of workout; it isn't too dancy and is full of energy. I love to sweat, and I see this program as definitely making me able to soak my shirt. It's about time for me to say goodbye to gyms and do cardio at home.
