I did D1 W1 Burn Circuit 1 yesterday!!! So amazing- burned 441 calories according to my HRM. I am so sore- but in such a wonderful way!
that's a great start!0 -
Lean 1 today and stretch 10 for a total of 188 calorie burn per my BMF does that sound about right? I am now a week behind on the schedule I had a few things come up last week and wasn't able to stay on schedule so I did a week of cardio and am now back on track. I have this week and next and will be done with this first round of CLX.0

You don't burn much during stretch/yoga. But it does sound a little low, even for Lean 1.
-going to see if i can find some of my burns for that one-0 -
looks like my Lean 1's were in the low 300's for that workout.0

I know that it does depend on size and other factors so to give a little more data I am only 5"2 and weight about 129. I found a really neat calculator on Livestrong that gives an estimate of calorie burn during strength training and it was saying about 234 so not to far off from that I guess.0 -
Today I did Extreme Intervals-- it's one of the Deluxe workouts. Holy moly, Chalene uses that stability ball as an instrument of torture! By which I mean, great workout. 410 calories.0

That sounds just like me. Both my HRM and BMF show I do not burn a lot during weight lifting. Usually around 150 -200.

I love Lean. I haven't really increased my weights much but I don't care. I'm getting so much stronger. I can finally do regular push ups. They aren't all pretty but they get better with every workout.
I have 1.5 weeks of Lean left. I was torn over what to do next but I've decided to go through another round of CLX. I know from past experience that three months isn't enough time to get the amount of definition I want. My forearms are showing the definition/striation I want. My upper arms need more time. I need to lose more body fat too. I'm at 25% now but would love to get down near 20%.0 -

That could be right, I don't burn a lot during strength workouts, every body is different. I haven't gotten that far but in Burn my burns usually average 130-160.0 -

Sounds like fun! I think pushups are torture. Did you get the Deluxe separate or order it at the same time?0 -
I did burn circuit 2 today. Killing me with these triceps lol. Burned 450 calories according to my HRM.0

I got them all at the same time-- my work has an exercise/gym benefit that you have to use all in one go.0 -
Replying to myself to say that I did Lean Circuit 3 today. Arms felt like wet noodles at the end! 319 calories.0

Pretty soon we are going to see success photos from some of you awesome ladies!!!0

Today I did Dynamic Flow Yoga. My arms are still a little sore from Lean 3 yesterday-- maybe I should have done my cardio instead! Oh well. 203 calories.0

I did Burn Circuit 2 on Tuesday and then did the Burn Intervals & the Ab Burner yesterday! Those intervals are so hard! But I burned like 600 cals and I was so impressed- abs are sore today though which makes me think I did something right!!!0

I like when my abs are sore. And my tri's, too.
that's a great calorie burn!0 -
I tried the bonus Fat Blaster workout that came with the basic package. Way too complicated for me! Burn Intervals and Burn it Off are much easier but I am getting a little bored with them.
On another note, I will be finishing the Push Circuit in a little over a week and I am a little disappointed in the lack of visible results. I did not take pictures but I did take measurements and the changes are negligible (or have increased!). Do I need to wait for Lean to really see changes?
I will say that I do not follow her meal plan because I think her calories are way too low. I do have a pretty active job (teacher) so I don't think I need to eat as low as she recommends. I have ordered a Fit Bit so I'll see what that says about by TDEE.0 -

I love it too...well as much as one can love soreness...but I'm a little scared that the calorie count is wrong. I'm using a HRM and I think I have all the settings right but that calorie burn seems huge.0 -
Greatest Hiits, extreme abs and stretch 10 today for 263 calories according to my BMF. One more week and time to take pics and measurements.0

Finally got a rug pad to go underneath the living room rug so I don't slip slide all over the place during cardio! Fat-burn Challenge, 376 calories.0

The Fat Blaster workout (which is a TurboJam workout) can be a little hard to follow at first. Stick with it - you'll pick up the moves. And as long as you're moving throughout the workout, you're still burning calories!
The bulk of your results will come in the last phase. However, the lack of results can also be tied to your nutrition. I agree that the calories recommended are pretty low. Do this calculation here to see if you're really where you should be:
http://www.melcowenfitness.com/calculating-your-caloric-needs
Once you know your calorie calculations, figure out where you want to be for your % of carbs, proteins, and fats. Everybody is a little different with what works well, but a good starting point would be 45% carb, 30% proteins, 25% fats.
If you need guidance with it, just let me know!

I hate to say it but pictures might have been more motivating for you than just measurements. My calves and biceps have been the same since I started, but I KNOW they look better. My chest has gotten smaller but I'm still in the same size bras. My undies look better on, but no one really sees that.
I would suggest taking a pic now and then looking at the end of Lean. I did my pics weekly and some weeks there weren't many differences. But looking at 1, 30, 60, and 90 you can see it.
I don't normally follow meal plans since I cook for 3 and just try to be healthier for everyone.0 -
you realy need to take photos as I found the first time around my scale did not budge nearly as much as most and my measurements stayed the same (I am horrible at measuring though) but I just took photos today as I am starting my 2nd round and HUGE difference from beginning. I had to take a break from the weights due to an injury so subbed in 60 min of elliptical 5-6 days per week and notices all the fat realy moving and was surprised to see I still have a ton of muscle from the CXE I did over 2.5 months ago.0

Yesterday did Lean 3 and stretch 10. It amazes me each and every week how my ratio from toes to knees change. Started this phase being able to do maybe 4 on my toes the first set and now I can do 9 toes/3 knees on the first set and 7 toes/5 knees the second set. I am moving up in weights each week for most workouts and I am only a week away from being done with this round.0
