Hey, I just joined this community. I'm currently about halfway through the Insanity program and I've got Chalean Extreme queued up for when I'm done. What have been your results so far?

Hello, everyone.

I will be getting ChaLEAN Extreme for my birthday, but currently don't have (and can't afford) adjustable weights. Could anyone recommend a good set of resistance bands that I can use with the program?

Thanks!

hi guys, good to be back!

well, my CLX exercises have been pretty spotty the past 3 weeks, but I've wrapped up Lean and now I'm going to start again with Burn. It feels so good to be back! I can tell I've lost a little muscle definition, but thankfully not as much as I had thought. I'll be back up to scratch in no time.

Hello Everyone,

I just ordered Chalean Extreme today. I bought the adjustable dumbbells, the Powerblocks brand for $150 (yikes ) at my local fitness store. Can not wait to start the program.

Hi!
Another Newbie here!
I ordered my ChaLean last night through Amazon and I would like to join the group to keep me going....I go to school fulltime, work about 32 hours a week and have a 9 year old son so it's going to be a real challenge to keep up!
I'm going to Hawaii in June as well as having my 10 year Highschool reunion so I would really like to lose 10-15lbs and tone up!

Right now I'm struggling with counting calories and finding the time to cook but I know its important and will become second nature once I form the habbit.

How many calories are you all eating for these kind of workouts?

Right now I try to consume 1200-1500 cals per day. Is this too low for these workouts? I don't want my body to go into starvation mode.

Anyways, great work on everyone keeping up with their workouts! I hope to be the shawdow image of ALL of you!

Hi Everyone: Welcome to all that are new

Things are going well, on wk4/d2 lean phase, I find this phase tough, but a good tough, it really works 2 muscle groups at the same time, I really do feel stronger, and enjoy this program so much. Well need to get some sleep see you all soon-

I did push circuit 1 today! I really love this program and how strong I have become. It's really helped my running as well. Since I started clx my 5k run time has gone down by almost 4 minutes!

The only problem I had was the squats. They were too easy on my legs but waaaay harsh on my arms. They could barely hold 30 pounds while my legs were begging for more!

Eve -- I get the same thing with the squats. My shoulders will be absolutely dying but my legs are still fresh by the end, even when I have 25 lb. in each hand. 25 lb. are the heaviest I have, though, so I just make do with that. If nothing else at least it's strengthening my arms.

Ginny -- I have no idea what anybody else does, but I aim for 1500 calories a day. Realistically, though, I usually eat around 1800, because after my Chalean workouts, I get really hungry and feel exhausted if I don't I eat something. I make my after-workout food lean protein whenever possible. Maybe 1800 calories is too much -- I'm losing weight really slowly (though the muscle looks great!). But at the moment I can't eat less than 1800 without feeling like I'm starving.

Congrats on ordering the program...I try to convince everyone I know to get on the bandwagon I have seen some awesome results. And it fits great into schedule because I work nights so I do it right before I go into work.
I started to use thedailyplate.com when I first started doing Chalean. I couldnt follow her meal plan so I decided to just start tracking my meals and cut out some things that I was gorging on. I get anywhere between 1300-1900 depending on what Im doing that day. I have my goal set to losing 1.5lb a wk with thedailyplate but its been more like 1.2 or just 1 however this pass wk I lost 2. Good luck and feel free to ask questions

I was wondering whats a typical eating day for you. how do you stay on track on the weekends?
Could you let me know what type of meals you eat to stay on track? If you can that is?
