Chalene extreme question

mmk137

I love turbofire. It really is my love it exercise. I'm going back to it after doing a hybrid program about a month. Yes I loved it but I just love my turbofire.
Well in the new year (feb), I want to do the chalene extreme / turbofire hybrid (then go to chalene extreme when it's finished).

I have resistance bands, but I want to invest in some more hand weights.

What resistance bands (weight wise) are used in clx?
Some question with the weights too.

She uses bands with various levels of resistance...3 different colors...I believe they are the B-bands on the BBody site... but you can get similar @ Walmart...

For the weights,( I just finished my first CE round...) I got adjustable weights that went from 5-25... they use the bowflex selectech weights...they look amazing, and have more adjustability and room to grow...BUT...are about $400! Mine were from kmart, 60 each on sale .... i DID actually have to get some additional weights to add onto a traditional weight bar, so I had 30's for a few of the exercises in the lean month though... so if it's something you could afford, the selectech would be the way to go

It completely depends on you. If you purchase CLX it comes with a resistance band (red, I think; I also got one with TF that was green?). Anyway, I am still in the burn phase and I only have 8 and 15 pounds and I need heavier. Basically Chalene emphasizes a weight that is heavy enough to fatigue you in 10 - 12 reps.

PS.... I love turbofire too!!! Especially the Fire 45...the * Boom I got your boyfriend* part! LOL!

yikes $400 yeah I don't have that type of cash (esp being a single mum).

I will keep an eye out and do some more research/window shopping.

I do have some resistance bands that I bought off ebay. So I'm set with those, but my weights I only have up to 2kg (4 lbs)

but thanks for the replies.
