So, I've heard A LOT of good things about this workout program, I have a friend who did it and the results were nothing short of amazing. If you've done it, how much weight did you lose?
Would like to buy it, but would like to hear from some more people first.

Thanks!

    I haven't done ChaLean Extreme but lost most of my weight so far from Turbo Jam which I love. Have been dying to try out Chalean extreme though.

    I started ChaLean about 2 mos ago. I haven't lost any weight (well, maybe a lb or 2) but I'm not trying to lose weight. I'm basically in maintenance now, and increasing my calories.

    I bought this set b/c I wouldn't be able to get to the gym in the summer, since the kids are home from school, and I wanted to have something that I could use at home, which would be effective for weight training. If you're looking for something that will be a high calorie burner, this is not it. This is mainly a weight training guide, with a tiny bit of cardio thrown in.

    That said, lifting weights is one of the best ways to get tone and fit. It will increase your muscle mass, decrease body fat, and you'll burn more calories while at rest, since muscle burns more than fat.

    I love this program - it's not only helped me stay in shape through the summer, it's actually improved some of my definition too. She's fun to watch and follow, the routines are simple, but very very effective. I'm really glad that I have this dvd set. I've bought many many exercise dvds in the past, and all are collecting dust. This is the only one that will not, at least for me!

    Hope that helps!

    I haven't done Chalean Extreme either, I've mainly used Turbo Fire. I lost about 49 pounds over 6 months using this program. Chalene Johnson is an amazing trainer, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed with any of her programs. That absolutely do work if you commit to the program and the meal plans. I'd be happy to share or help you in any way, just shoot me a message with any questions.

    I have just started using ChaLEAN Extreme (a ChaLEAN Extreme/TurboFire hybrid, actually). I started with TurboFire and discovered I didn’t lose the weight I wanted because I was burning too many calories and not eating enough. I think the first week of CLX my body was in recovery and was happy that I was eating the amount I should. This is my second week of CLX, and I have already lost 2.5 pounds this week, and it’s only Thursday.

    I love the program, and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you do it correctly. Get a heart rate monitor to help monitor the calories you burn, keep track of what you eat here, and eat most of your exercise calories back. If you’re looking for more cardio, I would go with something else, like TurboFire.

    I have used ChaLean Extreme and love it. I did the Turbo Fire + Chalean Extreme Hybrid Program and lost over 36 lbs. I did Turbo Fire first for a few months prior and have lost over 80lbs total using Chalene's programs. Chalene is a great trainer and makes it easy to do her workouts. Like dgfurman said it is not a cardio program it is more based on weight training. Highly recommend! :smile:

    ME ME ME!

    I did 90 Days of ChaLEAN Extreme and my stats are in my sig! 21lbs gone, 20 inches gone, 10% bodyfat gone! It was a huge motivator for me, I loved it and it really made me realize I love lifting heavy weights. It's changed the shape of my body! I cannot say enough wonderful things about it... it got me hooked on a whole new healthy lifestyle. The meal plan/ideas are great too and practical. Love it!

    And I wanted to add... the schedule is realistic!! 5 days a week for 30-45m/day. For a busy mom of two little girls this fit my schedule. I always took Friday & Sunday off. If you have any other questions just let me know!! :D

    Love the program! Lots of variety and fun! Weights, cardio, stretching - it has it all!! I totally recommend this!

    I also didn't have a lot to lose when I did this originally but I lost 9% BF after 90 days of it.

    lesliemk,

    Did you notice significant weight loss during the Lean phase, or throughout? I've just completed both the Burn & Push phases, but I've only lost 6lbs. I start the Lean phase on Monday & am hoping to see more weight loss.

    Thanks,
    Alisha
