Hi there. I know I want to add a strength component to my current regimen of Insanity and running, and Chalean Extreme looks much better than Les Mills Pump. (The only real appeal of Pump for me was it comes with weights, but 30lbs on a barbell seems ridiculously light for me as a 118 lb woman, nevermind for anybody stronger, I can already squat 120 lbs.)
I don't have a car (to get weights home) or a lot of space to store weights (400 square foot apt, but a block from Toronto's High Park for running trails).
Three questions:
1. What "weight" is the band that comes with Chalean Extreme? (Based on this page it seems the green one displayed on the Chalean Extreme page is 40lbs, but I'd like a confirmation if anybody knows. http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_gear/bands_balls_weights/resistance_band_pink.do)
2. Is there an option to buy more, "heavier" bands that I'm overlooking on the site?
3. Has anybody tried the program using both bands and weights? How do resistance bands compare to free weights?
Thanks for any feedback or advice.
