Hi Everyone! I used to reply to this thread all the time until my grandma found out about a brain tumor and my grandpa passed away and on top of that my mom has MS so needless to say, my workouts got cut out of the picture but I started up the TJ again today. Miss you guys, y'all were great support when I was on a couple mths ago!
Checking in today with Lower Body Jam and Ab Jam...

Good Morning Jammers!
It was hard to have to come back to work...ugh! But, I had a fun holiday! I got a lot of workouts in because I didn't have to work, so I had a lot more time on my hands. And I ate well. It was grrreat! I'm feelin good!
Last night I did Turbo Kick Round 32 for 45 minutes, and then I did the CE Burn 3. Tonight is a rest night for me, and then Wednesday is going to be another intense workout day! yippie!
Lilangel- way to go on your 10K!
Amber- sorry to hear about your grandma & mom. its always hard to experience grief like that. Hang in there!! It is great to have you back!!
Have a great week!0 -
Hey jammers! Sorry I've disappeared for awhile! Anyways, I've still been kickin it and eating clean as I can! Sunday I ran my 6, did CE Push 1, and Extreme Abs..then it was off to help at a business' Christmas open house which went really well! On Monday I just did CE Lean 3..gave myself a little break
But Tuesday was Burn Intervals and Extreme Abs again after work as usual-haha. Also more good news-I have officially joined the gym! WOOHOO! I was really excited this morning because I took my first spinning class! At 5:30 AM I was busting my butt on that bike:laugh: It was GREAT! Had a great burn and my "classmates" and instructor were soo nice! I think this is the start of something good...hehehe. At least to get me through the cold blizzardy winter months of NY..haha. So anyway, now I am starting to go to the gym early in the AM's before work, so I can relax a little more after work since I have quite the drive to get home (and in bad weather-just ugh..:grumble: ). I think this will be good
I hope you're all having a fantastic Wednesday-I know I feel energized after class! Check back later!:drinker:
Edited to say: WELCOME BACK AMBER! I'm sorry to hear about your troubles, keep your head up girl!0 -
hello guys. well been doing good. today is my rest day. i was wondering, what is better weight or resistance bands for chalean extreme. i am doing it with the resistance bands because my kids are everywhere and i feel that i might drop the weight on top of them but dk if i would get better results if i had weights.0
-
Hey Ladies! So I hope you all had a great Thursday I woke up and got my butt to the gym this AM- a little later than usual, but got a solid 6.6 miles in on the treadie! :drinker: Then it was off to work for me- but had a boring day because the drs were out of the office, Sooo me and my coworker rocked a FatBlaster session:laugh: It's so much fun! I am feeling the need to eat today also..lol, and since I worked my butt off today I am having a really nice pork dindin tonight Tomorrow I am hoping to get an outdoor run in but we shall see...the weather is getting worse and worse each day, so I'm not sure if it's time to take to the gym for the winter:ohwell: I'm still planning on fitting some CE strength work in, but probably a little less..I also will probably start lifting a bit at the gym . Anyway, thats my day and my plan..haha..Can't wait to hear all your check-ins girls! Keep rockin' it TJ style!
Edit to add: limestar- I got my hands on a set of the select-tech weights they use in CE on craigslist. Paid about half what they are retailing, so just a thought for ya! You can use the resistance bands the whole program too, they just never were my thing:laugh: Hope that helps!0 -
Good Morning Jammers! Last night I finally had some time to report to my Jammers group....and I typed up my large post...and then it said the whole site was down for maintenance. Ughhh! Thats okay, I'm sure you didn't want to read my novel. Haha!
Tuesday night I was able to go for my run. I could only do 4.5 miles, but I still felt really great and felt like I really pushed myself faster. It had been a week since I last ran, because the gym was closed all Thanksgiving week (local college = free). I ended up running an average of about a 8.5 minute mile, which was way good for me. Usually its about a 10 minute mile because I end up walking a few times. But, I pushed myself to not stop and walk. LILANGEL- I can't wait to get to a 6.6 miler!! Holy cow!! You inspire me!! I actually thought of your accomplishments as I was pushing myself Tuesday night! Thanks for all the encouragement!
Last night I did Turbo Kick Round 30, and I just LOVE the punches section, and the kicks section. I was going all out!! I also did a round of CE Burn phase. This is my last week of the Burn phase, and its great to see that I have definitely improved. I'm excited to start the PUSH section!
Lilangel- question for you.... do you run with a water bottle at all? Or do you not drink any water when running? I usually don't when I would do my outdoor runs, but now that I'm inside on a treadmill I have to have water!
Limestar- I prefer free weights than the bands, but that is a personal preference. I think the free weights help me with my form as well as strengthen the resistence because I can have the resistence in all directions of my movements. You can get free weights fairly cheap at a local sports shop. My husband really wants the Select Techs. But, if the bands are working great for you....do it!! I think its funny how Chalene always says "These bands are NO JOKE!" haha..it cracks me up!
Have a great weekend ladies!! Tonight I'm going running at the gym with my husband and then have a relaxing evening in my flannel pajamas watching a movie since its like -10 degrees today! Ugh!0 -
Good Morning Jammers! Is a CHILLY Saturday AM here!:noway:
I hit the gym this morning for a brisk running session on the treadie-got 3.5 miles under my belt in 36 minutes..keeping it slower--this is SUPPOSED to be my "rest" day..:laugh: I really went to the gym to goof off before Body Flex class-This was AWESOME! Was almost like TurboSculpt! I think that is going to become a normal Saturday AM routine...it felt great, the instructor and everyone was sooo nice! So that's it for today-My brother and sis-in-law are coming to visit today, plus I am helping at my mom's Christmas Open House today and tomorrow. It's also my parents' anniversary today so we are going out to eat dinner tonight..Yikes I'm always very careful-gotta try to keep it as clean as I can!
Dawna-You're doing SO GREAT! Thank you for the lovely compliments:blushing: I just love trying new things and pushing myself to the next level..You will get there too! Just keep working everyday and it gets easier! I have only been running for about 4 months now-isn't that CRAZY?? Sometimes I can't believe I run over 6 miles too!:laugh: As for the water bottle-I don't run with one outdoors--too much of a hassle, but on the treadie I use the cupholder-Usually don't drink it until after though, but it's there if I need it. Hope that helps!
I'll catch up with you girls later! Rock out Saturday will ya!?!:happy:0 -
Well Ladies it's been a buuuusssy weekend over here! I still have been workin my butt off, PLUS working/helping with the open house on top of that. PHEW-we sell xmas wreaths, trees, etc, so tis the season! This morning I pumped it up with TurboKick Round28 again, some CE and Extreme Abs (my usual sunday thing ). Usually I split up the workouts a bit more but I had no time! It was off to help out for the afternoon into the evening, finally got home and still needed to eat dinner, pack lunch/gym stuff for tomorrow, and go back downtown for groceries..another PHEW! lol..Tomorrow I am getting up to start my Monday spinning class routine:happy: So I'm off to bed FINALLY coz I gotta get up at 4:30AM:noway: ..Hope you all had a great Sunday! 0

Hey Girls! I'm back!! I was over on SparkPeople, but I miss the simplicity of MFP, so I came back! I've missed you all!0
-
Good Morning Jammers!! Erika! Its SO great to have you back! Spark people was an overload for me too.
My weekend was fabulous! Friday night I did Turbo Kick Round 30, Saturday I did a 5 mile run and ChaLean Extreme. Tonight is my last night of ChaLean extreme Burn phase. Yippie! I'm going to hurry home and do Turbo Kick Round 33 (one of my favorites) before I have to babysit for a friend. Then later this evening I'm going to do ChaLean Extreme. Oh man, I have to....I didn't workout on Sunday and I am craving that feeling you get when you work out! Have a great Monday!!0 -
hey ladies, over slept today and only had time for the 20minute TJ workout. after work I'm planning on doing the ab jam dvd .
I
Turbo Jam 0 -
Hey Jammers! It was an eaaaaarrly spinning class for me today! I've been slacking on the TJ I know I know-just don't kick me out! Lol..anyway, tomorrow is running at the gym I think Glad to hear all your accomplishments!
Erika-SOO great to have you back! We've missed ya!!
Have a great night ladies!0 -
Good Morning Ladies! Did some Jari Love strength this morning...I'm going through all my DVD's and checking the Max HR and calorie burn I get on them, to hopefully help me with weeding some out. I have over 100 workouts, and need to downsize!
Tonight I hope to get some cardio in...maybe a walk on the treadmill or the elliptical, as I did TurboSport last night and I'm sore today!
Have a great Tuesday everyone...I'm patiently waiting for the snow here in MN!0 -
Well, it's a snow day here in MN. At least for the kids :happy: I'm working from home as I'm not really interested in driving in the crappy weather! I am thinking it will be a rest day for me, as I'm super sore from Jari's workout yesterday. We'll see if I feel like getting a walk in on the treadmill later!
Have a great Wednesday!0 -
Good Morning Jammers!! Its a snow day here in Idaho too! I'm glad MN is finally getting some snow! I'm going back there for the week of Christmas and was hoping for some snow! Yippie!
Last night I did Turbo Kick Round 33 and ChaLean Extreme Burn 3. It was my very last night of Burn so me and my hubby are excited to start the Push phase. I tried doing Extreme Abs after everything last night and I was dead. Maybe I'll try to get through it tonight. The last few nights I haven't felt like working out, something is just off. But, I've pushed through anyways. I'm not sick, not pregant, not eating bad, not stressed....its just an off week.0 -
Hey Girls!
SO I joined the gym right--you all know this now...AND I met a guy! hehehe..it's so exciting....we've been chattin for a few days now (and he works at the gym so I see him there alot-lol!) Anyway, I was going to do some elliptical work at the gym this am (which I did) then come home and hit my abs with Extreme abs and do some CE but-I have plans to go out with him this afternoon now^_^! I guess ONE day of skipping some workouts won't kill me...:embarassed: ...lol:ohwell: Who knows what could happen-
So I just got home from the gym, showered there because MY POWER WAS OUT THIS AM!:explode: But once I got home it's back on So now I'm eatin some late breakfast, gonna grab some lunch before I head out-and have a great night with the new boy-I hope! hehe! I don't even know what we are doing for dinner--a little nervous bout keeping it clean...I'll try my best!

YAY! Have fun out with the new guy!0 -
Morning Ladies!!!
I ended up taking my rest day (and going over on my calories), but I can't remember that last rest day I took, so I enjoyed it! Felt good to relax--plus it was a snow day here, so I was all warm in my clothes and didn't want to change into workout clothes!
This morning was Billy's Bootcamp. Man, is Billy Blanks all over the place...so different from Chalene! I had a hard time following him and was getting really frustrated. But, got through it and now off to work!
Have a great day everyone!0 -
Good Morning!!
Lilangel- how did your dinner go with the new man??
Fitzfour- I'd probably get frustrated too...There's just something about Chalene. I am starting to swear by her. Although have you done Insanity? Or P90X? Or the 30 day shred? How do those compare to Chalene?
Well, ladies...last night I did my 4 mile run followed by my FIRST PUSH phase! HOLY COW! Today I am feeling it! I'm really excited though. My husband was watching me do the workout as he was trying to work on some papers, and he was excited about it too. I have a feeling this is going to be a great phase. Did any of you find more success with this phase? I've toned up quite a bit, but I still need so much more!
Hope you all have a great day. I'm going to hopefully run again tonight to help loosen up my muscles.0 -

I've got 30 day shred, and I would rank that (and other Jillian workouts) up there with Chalene. I get just as good of a calorie burn with those workouts as Chalene. I tried P90X, and really didn't care for it. Tony moves much faster in the workouts, and I wasn't enjoying a full hour of lifting, with no cardio in it. Then I still had to find time to fit cardio in. I've heard Insanity is a lot of cardio and using your own body weights (ie push-ups). I'm nervous that might be too much for me and I would find myself not wanting to do it.
I had a lot of fun with the Push phase, although I saw my best results in Lean, and going back and doing a 2nd round, I enjoy Burn the best now. I did see more and more definition after I finished my 1st round (I took a month off), and I think it was because I incorporated other types of strength training to trick my body. I think your body needs that after 3 months of CE!0 -
finally! I made time to workout. I missed yesterday so today I did both turbo sculpt and cardio party! I feel awesome! couldn't wait to log it and tell someone lol
keep it turbo jammers0 -
Hey Jammers!
OK so I had an amazing time with the new guy. He is such a sweetheart! I am loving gettin to know him and spending time together-I see him alot at the gym, lol...which is cool too. We ended up going to the mall for the afternoon (which we chatted the whooole way up there), walked the mall finding crazy gift ideas and just having a blast. Then it was home again, watched a movie at my place and headed downtown for some grub! Had a really great dinner out with him as well-he is definitely a gentleman..hehe. I prefer the "traditional type" guy So we will see where this goes! Tomorrow he invited me to hang out at his place for their annual Elf party-lol, yes they watch the movie Elf! It should be fun
Anyway, today was the treadmill for a solid 5.3 early this AM! I'm planning on my spinning class tomorrow AM, the I gotta work 8-12, coming home for some CE and Abs...I am getting back to it I promise! Have a great night all!0 -
Happy Friday Ladies!!!
It's been a long week, so I'm really enjoying that it's Friday today! Did a 50 minute incline walk on the treadmill and some abs with Tamilee Webb. Felt good to do those this morning!
LilAngel-Sounds like you've got a keeper! The Elf party sounds great!! I love that movie!
Nolachick-great job on the workouts! Those 2 together are awesome!
Have an awesome day!0 -
thnx Erika!0

Good Morning ladies!
Last night I went to the gym and got my run in, did 4.5 miles. I was still so sore from CE Push that it was a nice run to loosen up my muscles. Saturday morning I'm going to shoot for 5 miles, because I KNOW I can do it, its just a matter of setting aside the time and really pushing myself. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for tonight's workout. I think I'm going to make tonight a running night too.
Nolachick- I'm sooo glad you like Turbo Jam and that you are pushing yourself. You are doing grreat!
Erika- I'm not sure HOW you have that many workout DVDs but thats cool! So many workouts to choose from to give you some variety..haha!
Lilangel- glad to hear the date went well!! Have fun this weekend! And keep us updated!!0 -
Good Morning Ladies! I am currently at work-I am surprised I even MADE it here! The weather is just horrid outside-blizzardy white outs everywhere! All the local schools and closed and such, I was hoping my boss would say don;t bother! Especially since Friday Am's I don't really do any work-the office is open but no appointments anyways...oh wellllll! I'll pray that I make it home safely again! I still managed however to hit the gym this AM for my spinning class---Yes I braved the weather for it! :laugh: And I wasn't the only one there for class! There were a total of-get this--THREE of us!:laugh: :laugh: It was really great though, my instructor is so awesome she makes it all worth while Rest of day plan is to do Extreme Abs before lunch, eat somethin then hit CE early afternoon..I have not done strength since Sunday--eeps!
Erika-How much strength work do you currently do after CE? I want to keep it up in fear of losing the muscle I have built..soo I guess I have to continue?:huh:
Dawna-You CAN run that 5 miles! I know you can do it girl! WOOO!!
Nolachick-Keep up the great work! I love Turbosculpt too
Have a great one Jammers!0 -

Glad you made it ok...we had that here Tuesday night/Wednesday. I'm lucky, in that I get to work from home. Wasn't going anywhere when there's a blizzard warning!
I do strength 3 x's per week, so sticking with the same schedule (M-W-F), like I did with CE. I still do CE, just every other week. I do Week 1 Burn, Week 2 other, Week 3 Burn, Week 4 other, etc. So, it will take me 6 months to get through round 2, as I'm still doing 4 weeks of each circuit, just every other week instead of every week. I've also been incorporating more cardio and less strengths on my "CE off weeks". So, I think I'm seeing more results because I'm working that extra fat off!0 -
Thanks Erika! I have been trying to stick with Sunday/Wednesday/Friday..but I felt bad coz I skipped Wednesdays CE and abs to hang out with the boy--lol..It was worth it I am going to try my hardest to keep it my 3 x's a week though. Just wanted some input from a fellow CE finisher-so thank you!
Hope you're all having great Friday successes! I just finished CE Lean 1 and Extreme Abs..felt GREAT, but I could tell too many days have passed between strength workouts:grumble:
I hope the weather clears up for tonight-Its 3:30pm..I'm supposed to leave for the movie around 6:30..ppplllleeeeaaaseeee weather cooperate!:explode:
Later girls!0 -
Hello
I just took the Chalean Extreme fit test.. today. (Managed to do 3 boys push ups.. I usually only stick to girls.) I have a long ways to go, but so excited.... of all the positive changes I hope to see & feel after the 90 days!!
ANY words of wisdom, tips, thoughts from you experienced CE would be so helpful, before I start!
Thank you 0
