Who has done ChaLEAN Extreme?

I'm looking for a good indoor workout to finish out the winter months once I'm done with Insanity at the end of December. I'm really intrigued by ChaLEAN Extreme. My goal right now is to lose another 10-15 lbs, but really focus on toning and firming, and this workout looks like it might be perfect. If you've done it, please let me know your experience! Before & after pictures would be really helpful too!

Thanks!

    I have and still do. I made it through the first phase and part of the second before finding out I was pregnant. Needless to stay no weight loss since that part :-) but it has helped me with staying strong and healthy. It is what started me on becoming a BB coach and AFAA Certified group exercise instructor. My photos are on my coach site which apparently I can not post the link but it is beachbodycoach .com / ofccat (without all the spaces) I would post here but I am using my husband's computer as mine crashed and I have no photos on here. Let me know if you have any questions.

    Good program, I would recommend it. If you push yourself, lift heavier weights as you can, and watch your diet - you should see some good results. Chalenes a good trainer.


    I have done it in the4 past.

    I've done it. Loved the program. However, it's not great for weight loss per se. I lost 2lbs the entire 3 months, BUT, the shape of my body changed entirely. I loved what it did for my curves & my figure. I'm currently doing turbofire, but once this is complete, i'm jumping in with a TF/CLX hybrid which i'm looking forward to. I loved the way my muscles looked.

    I don't finish Insanity until the end of January, but I'm looking into doing this program next. I looked through all the beachbody programs and I think I'll like this one.
  • I'm waiting for mine to be delivered and then I'll be starting also!!! Have you started yet?

    I'm doing it right now. I am currently towards the end of the first month. I love these dvds and I actually look forward to it every morning---I like her as a trainer. I need to buy heavier dumbbells though because the heaviest dumbbells I have are 12 lbs---and I just bought those. I want to get 15 lbs, 20 lbs, and 25 lbs. I hope she does't go much higher than that in the last 2 dvds. Does anyone know?

    I purchased a set of "selectable weights" by Reebok at Target for around $70. They are in 2.5 lb increments and each goes up to 25 lbs (so 50 total). Since I bought them locally I had to pay tax, but I believe they are available on Amazon with free shipping.
    I did the burn phase with bands, but prefer the weights for myself.

    I have! I'm actually in round 2. I love it! These are the best before/after pics I have, though I think the after was taken when I was in month 1 of round 2, but close enough I'd say.

    I wasn't logging my food during the first round, regrettably... I prolly would have had much better results.
