Programs with Chalene

Pipsg1rl

How many have you done?

How many times have you done them?

Which is your favorite?

Which would you like to own but don't currently?


I have done 3: ChaLean Extreme, TurboFire, and PiYo.

I have completed CLX 3 times, never finished a solid series of TF, but did do PiYo once.

My favorite is CLX, but I did like the results from PiYo. I just hated the music and "Drench."

I would like to own the CLX Deluxe DVDs, but don't... yet!

I am doing my second round of CLX. Before this second round I did the 12 week schedule with Turbofire. TF is my favorite between the two. If I do not run that is usually my cardio during the week. I also used it to replace the cardio when I did Body Revolution. I have no coordination but it is so much fun. I can't say I get excited about CLX and I am still trying to lose weight and have a hard time getting my protein up at 1325 calories a day.

I want PIYO next. I like the idea of giving my body a break from all the jumping around I have been doing with TF since I got it. I could also use more flexibility.

Iv'e done three Chalene Programs. TurboFire, CLX, Piyo. Loved TurboFire but didn't get great results so I added in CLX and then I got awesome results using both programs. I still do TurboFire HIIT's for cardio. Completed TF and CLX both once then started free styling the programs. Haven't completed Piyo yet cause I wont go near "Drench." CLX is my favorite and I'm going back to it this summer. I'm planning on a CLX and Insanity Max30 Hybrid! Yikes!

For Drench i tried to do the entire program but had limited time, so I would skip the sections i didn't like (mainly the "flow" portion) in order to keep it under 45 minutes.

So what is Drench? I thought the longest workout was 45 minutes.

I think it's listed at 50, but more like 55.

I've done Chalean Extreme, Turbo Fire, and Piyo as well.

PiYo twice- I love that program
Turbo Fire- I got 2 months in... had surgery for endometriosis and had to take time off. I liked the results I was getting but it will be a while before my body is back to the point where it can handle those kind of workouts.
Chalean Extreme- Completed once. I'm just finishing week 2 of round two now.

I'm about to finish my last week of lean. I've always done something else after finishing ie. P90X3, Turbofire.

Has anyone seen good results doing the program essentially back to back?

I have lost a decent amount of weight (almost 21 lbs) by adding in some extra cardio during lunch Monday-Friday. I have some jiggly parts still and I'm thinking continuing with strength training would help alleviate some of that.

Thoughts?

I haven't done 2 in a row, but I'm sure with the gains you've made in strength a second round could be good for you.
Possibly you might enjoy a CLX/TF type of hybrid. What I tried to do was sub the CLX cardio with TF.
Doing a CLX and then a short TF video will also be a good way to go, but make sure to listen to your body for rest.

I agree with @Pipsg1rl , give the hybrid a try. I did a CLX/insanity hybrid 2 yrs ago.

Haven't tried any of her other programs, but besides JMBR, CLX is still one of my favorite!!!!
