Chalean Extreme

ChubbyBunny

I am curious about any "insider" information on this program.
I don't want to order it until I know more about it....and the site was....less then informative.
Like.....what's a rough estimate on workout lengths, is the food guide practical (or are you gonna end up making 2 meals cause no one in the family will eat that way), how heavy of weights do you need to invest in (yeah, I checked out the ones in the video...OUCH cost), is it fun.....etc.

If anyone has more....specific information....that would be awesome.
I need a Christmas gift for myself....

Hey girl!! As you know, I'm a coach so I was able to preorder it. Mine should be here SOON!

I'll send you a message about it!!

I just got mine today!

From what I can see the schedule has you working out 5 days per week.
I don't know how long each workout is, yet, because I haven't gotten to preview the DVDs yet. I hear they are shorter than the P90X workouts, which is also lovely!

The nutrition guide is laid out well, and I find it easier to follow than the P90X guide. The recipes are presented nicely, w/photos, and they all seem pretty easy to make!
A lot of the foods look like items that everyone can enjoy!

As for the weights... you'd probably want to invest in either:
A.) A set of Selectechs OR Powerblocks
B.) Resistance bands (there are packages of ChaLEAN that will comes with resistance bands if you choose so).

I'm so excited to start this program! I'm starting on December 29th and using the time until then to really read the books and preview the DVDs (and keep my current workout schedule going, of course)

Did it come out yet? I Yahoo had some more information on it: http://www.ultimatefitnessgear.com/chalean-extreme-workout-routine.html

I'm not sure if you saw that or not, but it's the most information I could find in one spot.

jessmomof3

All of the info and the new workouts are listed at Teambeachbody! Let me know if you have any questions about it!

Both Jess and I coaches too... so if anyone wants it you can contact us and order from us directly, which would rock, too

Thanks for asking about this, Bunny! I was just looking at it today after I got my e-mail & resisted purchasing it...for now. The weight $ scared me, too! I think I'll get this once I get a little closer to my goal weight. I'm looking forward to what all y'all with it have to say!

jessmomof3

YAY!

Ok, that's just mean!! J/k Love the pic, and I can't wait til mine are delivered on Monday!!!!!!!!!!

I am just excited that it's possibly shorter workouts then P90X.... love them...but dang...it sucks up a lot of time. I will totally invest in Chalean Extreme it's just figuring out when and a decent place to get the weights :noway:

Yeah, weights can be expensive! I would love the Bowflex but they are so expensive! I don't know what you have near you, but D!ck's Sporting goods has good sales, MC Sporting goods, or Sports Authority. Even Target/ Wal*mart carries dumbbells. You can just get a set of two 10#, two 15#, and two 20# and you should be set! (also, the deluxe set comes with the resistance bands!)

I'll let you know once I get it what the times are of the workouts also!!

We have a place called Play It Again Sports in this area that I might look into for the weights. Its a resale sports equipment store. Maybe you can find a place like that, Bunny!

Can't wait!!

How do these compare to Cathe in price and intensity? I'm still waiting for Cathe's STS, so it will be a while before I'm able to order anything new. :frown: I'm almost wishing I never ordered STS, but at the time I hadn't heard of these other videos. Now I'm hearing of them repeatedly!

Fitness_Chick

Beans did you manage to get your weights today?:huh: :drinker:

I made one of the recipes for dinner tonight from the nutrition guide... oh, it was so easy to make and totally delicious!
