Ran 4 miles this morning then I'll be doing Burn Circuit 3! I am still pretty sore from Circuit 2 and the Burn Intervals so my run was a little uninspired.
Are there any of you out there who do Chalean Extreme along with logging 30+ miles/week running? I would be curious to know if it helped or hindered your running effort. I wanted to add strength training to running to help round out my fitness but sometimes I worry that I will be sacrificing one for the other.
Any thoughts would be appreciated:ohwell
IMO - running is cardio, chalean is strength - two entirely different things that go together very nicely.
I just read that strength training is best performed in the morning, whereas cardio is best performed in the evening. Good luck and let us know how it's working for you.
Today was Get Lean Intervals - 378 cals0 -
Burn interval and ab burner today. Ab burner first the first time. Wow my abs are way out of shape. Does anyone else do this or other ab work outs more than once a week? I am thinking I might need to add this work out to at least one more day. I can make through the burn intervals and all the strength training (tired and ready to pass out) but can't make through hardly any of the ab workouts. That has to change. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
If you can do it go for it. Good luck!0 -

You can work your abs every day if you wanted to. They are the one muscle group you can do this with. A couple of times a week will not hurt you.
I did BC 2 yesterday. Low calorie burn as usual, but I worked my muscles hard! I'm up to 15 lbs on several exercises so I'll have to buy more for push next month.0 -
I did Burn Circuit 2 today-- in the middle of week 4. Is it weird that I'm a little nervous about Push? Maybe because I'm so used to Burn. Calorie burn was 275.0

Did Ab Burner again today and then Burn Circuit 3 man this one always makes my legs stiff for just about the rest of the day. Woke up with my abs and obliques a little sore I am hoping that is a good sign. Have a great day everyone.0

I did it! I finished the whole 90 day Chalean Extreme program. I lost 6lbs and really leaned/toned up. I can tell a difference in every part of my body. Even my cellulite is less noticeable. Not really sure what I am going to do next. If all else fails, I will do a month of Lean for Life till I figure it out.
Today - Lean Circuit 3 - 240 cals0 -

Congratulations, kel7298!
Today I did the TJ Fat Blaster & Recharge. Total calorie burn was 455 calories, woo hoo! I enjoy subbing in the TJ when I can-- does that mean I'd like Turbo Fire too?0 -

Probably if you can handle the high impact of TJ. TF is a little more high impact with the fire drills and stuff but you would probably like it.0 -
Burn it off with Recharge today. I am ready for my day off tomorrow.0

Awesome, thanks! I may go and get a couple more TJ workouts just to mix up my cardio-- I get bored of the same two over and over again. I know they're both really good workouts, but I like dancier stuff too.0

BC 3 today. Was supposed to do it yesterday but gavemy hip flexors an extra day to heal. I'm glad I did because they were fine today. I jogged for 20 minutes after BC and then did Recharge.
Tomorrow I'm going to make myself order TurboFire. I've been meaning to but have been laazy about it. Tomorrow is the day!0 -
This is my second week and I felt so much stronger doing burn circuit 1. It was most likely due to feeling more confident with the moves, but I'd like to think I shocked my muscles into action lol. I went heavier than the first week when I could (I can't believe I don't have 8# dumbbells) and now I know I definitely need 20's and 25's now.0

It's amazing to chart your progress and see strength gains, isn't it? Today I finished the Burn phase with Burn Circuit 3 and Ab Burner. Total calorie burn was 400. I've been slacking on Ab Burner (usually too tired after Burn Intervals) so I wanted to get a full one in before the phase was done. Tomorrow's a rest day, and then on to Push on Tuesday!0

If you like dancier stuff than I think TJ would be your best way to go. I haven't done TF but I have watched the one HIIT DVD that came with my program and it didn't seem to have dance moves in it at all. But maybe others have had more experience with it.0 -

Today was my rest day, but my heart rate monitor was delivered and I wanted to try it out. I popped in the 20 minute workout from Turbo Jam and ended up having a LOT of fun since I've only done that once before. I burned 200 calories
