Just finished up burn circuit 2, I forgot that I really dislike that one. It makes my back hurt, and my triceps are just sooooo weak
Clearly I don't do the dead lifts right, need to work on that.
I have tap class this evening, so didn't add any cardio to the end of my workout, I believe I have turbofire 45 tomorrow though
Everyone seems to be doing great, so let's keep it up ladies!0 -

I love the deadlifting but man when you add the rowing it really makes it hard. I always have sad back after that one also.0 -
I agree that deadlift with the row is a Killer! Today was BC2 for me and a run tonight.
Stephie turbo 45 is one of my favorites.0 -
Ruby how far along are in the push Phase? You are doing Awesome!Awesome Job Everyone! :drinker: :drinker:
I am not doing any of the turbo workouts but would love to hear more about peoples experiences with them.
When I started Push I felt the same way about not working as hard due to not having the compound moves but once you get going you will notice you are working just as hard if not harder. It took me a little bit to make sure I was using heavy enough weight to fail within the reps. My arms burn for hours after I am done so I know it is working. I have hit 30 lbs weights on lower exercises (I never thought I would use 30lb dumbbells :noway: )
I have heard when we get into the Lean stage we will do some compound moves again so I am looking forward to it.0 -
I think I am going to do a CLX/TurboFire Hybrid with weekend runs. I did Fire 55 EZ yesterday and LOVED (HATED) it. My abs are so SOOOOOOORRRRREEEE, so that tells me that it is exactly what I need, lol. I'd LOVE to drop the belly flab and have abs again!
Not sure if I like the official hybrid - has anyone created one that they love? I'm a little clutzy, so I have to learn a new dance move slowly.
CLX is not an issue; LOVE that program and do a workout from it here and there when I just feel like lifting. Just got my Chalean Extreme shirt in the mail from when I did the whole program at the end of last year! It's pretty awesome!
Thinking about officially starting Monday - anyone starting a hybrid then? Feel free to add me, fitness support is always welcome!0 -
I think there are different TF/CHX hybrids out there. You just need to do what works for you.
I think the one I had was 2 months of TF/CHX and then a month of mostly TF and then add back in the last month. I just did the 3/2.0 -
So it was 4 months long? Do you have a link to that hybrid? I'd like to check it out.0

Bad eating day today and no workout either. I walked up some sand dunes so maybe that counts as something but the eating surely overcompensated for that :O(. Good news is my butt is sore from yesterday's workout. Always like to know I worked something in a workout!
Back at it again tomorrow!0 -
Today was BC3. I was suppose to do Friday but instead did a wine walk and drank lots of different wines and ate lots of unhealthy foods. Now today when I did BC3 It was so much harder to get through after eating all that junk. Anyone else notice this?0

What I follow is the 3 CLX strength workout then add 2 runs or a Fire workout from TF. I plan on adding in the TF HIIT workout soon.

Hello. I wanted to join the conversation. I'm starting the Lean Phase tomorrow, and have been doing the other 2 phases over the past 13-14 weeks. (About 2 sessions/week instead of 3, due to my schedule.) I like to alternate the days with cardio, and like Pipsg1rl, I'm doing some running now too for cardio, and I see some others do too.
I really want to give the Lean Phase my all, and aim for 3 sessions a week, instead of 2. I love the muscle I've built, but despite hearing the Chalene's encouraging words each week, I still need to get my eating in shape.0 -

Welcome!
You are about to be starving...LOL! I don't remember how long the sessions are, maybe 45m?
I keep coming back to this program over and over.0 -
Ruby how far along are in the push Phase? You are doing Awesome!
I just started my week 4 of the push phase, I had one bad week in between so I had to restart.... I should be starting the lean phase this week but that is how it goes.
I am feeling a little burned out on the cardio workouts too I will take suggestions from the group and maybe do some of my own cardio days on those days (running sounds like a treat) the weather is getting nicer here and I think that would make it more enjoyable. Still not really losing any weight but I think it is due to not being strict enough on my diet. :blushing: I am seeing very good toning results even without the scale going down much. I stopped weighing for now because I don't want to get discouraged.0 -

I'm not losing. I thought I was but then this weekend I partied Yesterday was the 2nd Push 1 so I'm wondering if it's that "new program body rebellion" phase.
can't wait for lean!0 -
Hi ladies - I was off work last week studying, so I forgot to check in!
Did pretty well - only missed one workout, which I didn't think was too bad considering it was exam week!
Have had to go low carb (suspected PCOS diagnosis), so am laying off the workouts this week to let my body get used to the fewer carbs it now has (and the lots of fat
)
Will try and get some yoga in, as well as the miles of walking I do daily, but don't want to push CLX too hard and burn out.
Hopefully will be feeling energetic next week and be able to pick up the big girl weights again :laugh:0 -
I am going to be starting my 4th round of CLX on Monday. I would love to post here for accountability with you guys. This is such an amazing program. I have tried others but keep coming back to this one. I have since gained back all the weight I lost so I am basically starting over, but I know I will get great results again from this program!

Thanks for the warning. That's a bit of a bummer. I love the short sessions. I plan on starting it this afternoon.You are about to be starving...LOL! I don't remember how long the sessions are, maybe 45m?
Tracylee... Fourth round! That's impressive! The results ARE pretty amazing.0 -
Hey guys!
I started Push phase this week. The burn phase was amazing for me! After doing Jillian Micheals body revolution and narrowing my waist line, I want it to focus more on my legs. CLX is doing the job. I can see a difference in my legs. They are getting more lean. And my butt is looking good too
thank you squat and lunges. And one of the amazing part, finally got under 147 lbs, after years! My weight went up and down but never got under 147. And now it is. I couldn't be happier. I just have to stay on track. I will perhaps at the end of the program get under 140. who knows 0 -

That is so great! Sooo many squats and lunges. Sore today from Push 2 One Legged Dead Lifts. Killer!0 -
Checking in. Great job Actiontime!!
I finally saw a drop in the scale two days ago. Has not moved in four weeks! I am just hoping it stays that way so I can log it on Monday! I decided to focus on getting back within my calories this week and then worry about my macros and work on getting more protein. I have been over my calories every week since starting this program but this week I have not been getting as hungry and I think I have it under control.
I went shopping for clothes on Sunday for next week's vacation. I purchased actual shorts. I can not tell you the last time I wore shorts, not capris or the shorts that go to the knee. It has been at least seven years. I used to HATE my legs. Now, although they are blindly pale :O) I think they are okay. I also am down to a size 7 from a size 12/13 in August! Not all thanks to Chalene since I did two rounds of BR prior to this but I am hoping she will help my get toned so tank tops could be next. It is too freakin hot in TX to not be comfortable in shorts and a tank top.
Push 3 today. I ran two days this week. For some reason I have this desire to get every work out in instead of substituting running for the cardios. I think I may finally drop Burn It Off this week. I really am not a fan of it. I rather do the Turbo Jam Fat Blaster with my kids instead and the calorie burn is the same. I am going to keep the Burn Intervals on Fridays because it is a great calorie burn.
Hope everyone finishes the week strong!0 -

WOW! seriously that is some awesomeness! You are not joking about the hotness in Texas. It's been so nice I've been wearing shorts around the house, but soon I'll only want to be in shorts INSIDE the house (haha).
You have really changed yourself in moving down so many sizes.
Jergens has a gentle self tanning lotion that is nice for your legs; the only problem is that I find if I put it all over my torso I sweat like a beast.0 -

Congrats! a great victory when your weight start moving again and mostly so many dress size lost... Your eating plan is good... Don't forget, since you are lifting weight, you should eat more. Don't go with that 1200 cal/ day thing. You will plateau rapidly. 0 -
Checking in; I can't seem to decide on a SPECIFIC workout routine, so I am kinda doing whatever sounds good (or is least sore) come time to work out. It has been a couple days since I did CLX so maybe I'll get one in tomorrow! Today I did Turbo Fire Starter. It's a pretty good workout and Chalene steps you though each step, so I felt a lot less lost than doing the regular TF workouts. I also did a sculpt workout from Brazil Buttlift ... I normally lift 15s on my arms and 20s on my legs and that workout had me feeling like a weenie for thinking 5lbs felt heavy! I haven't decided if I am okay with that or not yet, but I guess it was good because I was all sweaty by the end, lol!
In response to some of the updates I read, make sure you are upping your protein for this program or any one that includes heavy lifting for that matter. I STRUGGLED big time with staying within calories the first time I went through this program... Now when I lift heavy I know I have to seriously increase my protein to stay within my calories. And choose something moderate. I think there is a way to calculate calories needed for the program in the guidebook. MFP's 1200 recommended is not going to cut it, lol!
I agree, LessthanKris - I'm not a big fan of the CLX cardio, but one of them is such an amazing burn that I will pop it in every once in a while. I tend to like to run on the weekends for my cardio and I have a couple of TurboFire workouts that are killer burns! I hope to be good enough at them one day that I don't hate them so much!
I have managed to drop 3 or 4 pant sizes, but I am really struggling to strengthen my core and whittle my waist; can anyone recommend a program they like for that?
Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

Thanks everyone! Getting my protein up is my biggest challenge. According to the guidebook I should be eating 1300 calories to lose weight. What I do now is on lifting days I eat 1350 and on cardio days I eat back back whatever my HRM monitor reads. I usually look at my overall week for calories not day to day so I am over and under day to day. I am finishing up my second week of push and until the last two days my weight has been about the same. I did lose two inches overall after Burn though.
The protein though, ugh. I really do not want to go to protein shakes. Aside from the costs, they just do not sound appealing. Not a fan of greek yogurt which seems to be everyone's go to. It is hard to go from losing all your weight through moderation to having to worry about macros. I have to work on giving up the sweets more and finding more ways to fit that much protein on lifting days. 1350 is not much more than 1200 really.0 -
Wow, everyone is doing so awesome! WTG
lessthankris- nice job on the lose on lbs & inches! It sounds like you have been working hard on the calories too. I need to improve on tracking again, I got tired of putting in my food diary & boy does it make a difference.
I was doing push 2 yesterday morning & I seriously got sick & vomited. WTF. That is the 1st time in my life that had happened to me, wow. Anyone else have this occur?!tomorrow is my last push workout & I move into lean next week. Yeahhhhh. I am ready.
stay strong everyone, push hard & make it count!!!!!0 -

How are you feeling today? did you eat prior to your workout?0 -
I have only gottten physically sick once during a BR cardio workout. I work out about an hour after lunch and sometimes I have an apple with peanut butter. I found that I would feel sick if I did a cardio workout after I ate that. I do not have the problem with strength workouts though. Were you breathing super heavy? I am not sure but I hope that is a one time thing for you!
Burn Intervals today. I am heading to Hawaii next week for so I am going to take a break after Push 2 and pick up my schedule when I get back. So my last two weeks are going to be over three weeks. I hear a lot of good and bad about Lean so I am interested to see how it is.0 -
Pipsg1rl - I am feeling better today.... I did not eat before the workout, I had coffee but that was all. I work out about 15 minutes after I wake in the morning. I think I just pushed myself so hard I just lost it. I thought about maybe trying to drink a protein shake prior to work out that may help.
lessthankris - Hawaii???? I am so jealous, that will be incredible! Good for you.:drinker:0
