    I'm just now seeing this thread. I started week 3 of the Burn phase, this past Monday. I am using the bands and am starting to have second thoughts about it. I guess I will post on here as well.

    Why second thoughts?

    The bands are really hard. I am using bands and it's a beast.

    I'm on my second week of it, and it's going well. I can't promise I'll dig up this thread, but you can friend me or join the ChaLEAN group in the groups section.

    Hi,
    I am in the middle of my 3rd week. I am actually being really strict about the burn intervals, but I have substituted the cardio with my favorite hip hop abs and zumba. I just hate cardio if I am not doing some type of dancing.
    I really love the burn intervals! I really do look forward to them.
    I am pretty new to mfp, so I am not real sure how these message boards work. Is there a separate group too? I am going to send a friend request to those involved in this thread.
    Have a great weekend!

    I must not be using the right bands. If I may ask what pounds, band wise are you using? I am using 15lb bands for the light weights and 25 lbs for my heavier weights.

    Oh I'd love yo try Body Revolution too. I am planning on doing it after CLX! It is not available in the UK currently though. Do you think you could maybe have a look on the box what it says for the region? That would be amazing :flowerforyou:

    Well done for completing round 1! What were your results from round 1 if you don't mind me asking?

    I wish I had taken measurements/pictures before I started, but I didn't:sad: . However, I went down a whole pant size, a shirt size, and my bra size WAS a 36D---now I am in a 34D. Definitely happy with those results:bigsmile: .

    Week 2, Burn 1 DONE~

    I am struggling with how low my calorie burns are with this workout -- 30 minutes nets me between 80-100 cals (I weigh 140, am 5'4", 40 years). I just need to focus on the strength building as I"m getting lots of cardio in separately to get those calories burned!

    I am going on to week four of the first level. Do you do extra cardio (outside of the burn interval)? When do you fit it in?

    Definitely dont focus on that number. Can I ask what Hrm you use? I burn a bit more than you and I am 5'4, 146 lbs, 50 yr.

    CLX Push 1 and 15 min treadmill incline 10 - 428 cals burned
