ChaLEAN

Just wondering if anyone tried ChaLEAN or the 2 days slim formula? It's by the same maker as P90X (which is beachbody.com).

Yep, I have used ChaLean Extreme!! It is an awesome program! I lost weight and inches and really love Chalene's workouts.

Let me know if you have any questions, my info is in my profile!

I am currently on week 7. I LOVE this program. I saw almost instant results from my body shape changing and toning up. I am also seeing the weight fall off. I started in a size 12/14 and I am down to a too big 10 or a tight 8.

Is the program more cardio based or more strength training?

Oh wow! Awesome! Is there a diet guideline also or is it only exercise?

It's a combination, but more strength training w/ interval cardio. It's slower weight training, and ChaLean really focuses on form and lifting as heavy as you can. There are 3 phases, you start w/ Burn, then Push, then Lean phase. Let me know if you have any questions!

Yep, it comes with a nutrition guideline w/ menus and recipes also. I didn't follow the plan too strictly, just logged here and kept my eating *clean*. :bigsmile:
