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
Make sure you go heavy enough (but not too heavy that your form is failing). I didn't realize the first time around how heavy I could lift! Also, make sure you are eating every 2-3 hours, esp on the days you are lifting with CE. I made that mistake and didn't my first few workouts, and I was shaking so badly I could hardly grab some food! Gotta fuel that body when your metabolism is high after the workouts. Have fun, it's a fantastic program!0 -

I agree with Erika!! Go Heavy... Eat continually throughout the day....Drink lots of water. And do the stretches at the end of the workout. And if you need to, add more stretches. You WILL see results!! Its awesome!0 -
THANK YOU Erika & Dawna...I will definitely do what you suggest!!
Can you tell me, did you either or both.....
Stick with the workout schedule??
What was the largest size weights you used... is 20-25 lbs sufficient??
What kind of results did you have at the end of the program??0 -

Healthworks... I did my own schedule, to an extent. I did CE 3 x's a week for the whole 4 weeks. I personally do 30 minutes of cardio before I did ChaLean Extreme. On the "off" days of the CE phases (strength training)...I did my own cardio (Turbo Kick, Running). But, I recommend doing the CE phases 3 times a week for sure.
The largest amount of weights I've used so far is 20 pounds. I'm only on the Push phase.
And I am only in the beginning of the Push phase and I am seeing some mega results. My results have been a combination of putting a lot into my CE work outs, and doing cardio as well. My arms aren't flabby anymore, my waistline is smaller, my stomach flatter, my legs are toned, and I've lost a lot of weight in pounds as well.....its amazzzzing!0 -

My first round, I pretty much followed the workout schedule exclusively. I did the recommended CE cardios on the days recommended, and took rest days as recommended. I did not do cardio along with the days I did the Burn, Push and Lean. My 2nd time around, I'm doing cardio on those days, and not necessarily doing the CE cardio on the other days.
The most weight I've used is 20 pounds. My wrists aren't able to grip more than that yet.
I didn't have any weight loss myself, but lost 3" in my waist, 2" in my hips and an inch on each thigh. I'm definitely more toned now, and can see muscles in my legs and stomach and arms, that I didn't know I had!0 -
Hey Jammers! I just got back from the gym and sat down with my big bowl of almond butter oats! YUM! Last night went GREAT! I think this is the start of something good:happy: At the gym this AM I did my Body Flex class, and then hit the treadmill for a solid 4. something..you know what was really cute though?--Danny came in about 5 minutes into my run and started up next to me..hahahah-Talk about motivation! I worked that baby! LOL!
Regarding the CE healthworks-(if you want my input also)-I pretty much stuck with the schedule..did Sunday, Monday, Thursday lifting, Tuesday Burn Intervals and abs, Friday Burn it off. Wednesday was my "rest" day. I also did cardio almost everyday with the workouts. My largest weights are 30's..mostly for the squats and lunges. I had amazing results..my waistline is soo tiny now, I've built AWESOME muscle and my stomach has become flatter. Hehe! Good luck I think you'll like it!
It dawned on me that I don't usually "sign off" at the bottom of my posts..lol my name is Roberta btw!0 -
Good Morning! Sounds like everyone is doing great on the workouts! I did 45 minutes on the elliptical this morning and a some Tamilee Webb arms...man, it's only 15 minutes, but it really works!
Off to finish up the Christmas shopping and then my hubby's work Christmas party tonight.
Have a great one everyone!0 -
Good Morning Jammers!
Lilangel- that is GREAT motivation! haha! I still get motivated when my hubby runs next to me. Something about him being there makes me want to push myself!
Speaking of pushing myself...today I ran 5 miles! Well, I did a 1/2 mile warm up jog. Then I did my solid 5 miles, and then I did a cool-down 1/2 mile jog/walk. So, I guess I can't really say a solid 6 mile run...but, I did do 6 miles today...best day ever!! I also stepped on the scale and was 2 pounds lighter this AM. Yippie! I love CE, and did PUSH tonight...and wow I love it!!
Hope you all have a great rest of the weekend!!0 -
Good Morning:flowerforyou:
Dawna I thought I would do a treadmill warm up, before the strength training to prevent injuries. I have yet to watch the 1st dvd
(hopefully today) to see how much of a w-up there is. CONGRATULATIONS to you on your results.. so far, cant wait to hear more !!!
Erika It seems like the program has alot of variety.. and can be changed up a bit? Are you seeing a difference the 2nd round, changing up your cardio? Yeaa.. WTG on those inches lost, burning fat, building muscle and leaning out!! ( I want that.. NOW!!)
Berta Bee YES of course any advice you have, thank you!! Your look amazing in your pics.. !! I hope to get the results you all are having!! My weights Cap Barbells 5-20 lbs came in the mail yesterday... so I am one step closer to starting!!
Thanks girls I am way excited and way nervous at the same time... I want CHANGE !! Im having a hard time getting back on the fitness bandwagon again . HOPEFULLY this is the kickstart I need! Happy Sunday !!0 -
Good morning everybody.Today i am planning to do burn it off and recharge. Been busy with the xmas shopping. I finaly finish shopping for everybody. Now to treat myself.
Healthworks- you going to love ce. I am already small so i wasnt intending to lose weight with this work out just tone up. I have lost inches all around, im down to a size 2, 1 sometimes can squeeze to a size 0. But i got butt now due to the workout so its hard to fit in the 0 for me lol. I use the resistance band because i have two curious babies that can carry weights so to prevent any accidents i use them. I am now toned, my posture is better. I actually look taller now. My advice keep a calendar and write down what you are going to do so it will remind you what needs to be done. Eat, you will automatically will be feeling so hungry after the workout so keep your fridge stock with nutritious food and snacks. Good luck.0 -
Hi Limestar
Wow- You are sooo- tiny!! Yes, I hope to love CE and ALL the workouts, Kudos to for keeping up with your w/o's, with having 2 babies ALL your AMAZING accomplishments..... including your lifted butt!
BTW- Your kids are CUTE!!! 0 -
Hi Healthworks - I am also planning to start CE in the next week or so...just waiting on a new heart rate monitor to arrive. I wanted to ask you if you were going to follow the nutrition plan for it as well..0

Good Morning!!!
I had a great workout this morning...Push 1 and Power 90 Core Cardio...whew! Had to get my energy up for what I knew would be a long drive to work (we got a couple inches of snow over night). An hour and a half later (I live 15 minutes from work), I'm here! Ah well, had some time to listen to some Christmas tunes in the truck!
Healthworks-I am definitely still seeing great results in round 2. I think because I'm switching it up so much. I'm doing 1 week of CE where I'm lifting heavy, low reps, and on the alternate weeks I do other workouts (Jillian Michaels, Biggest Loser, Power 90, etc), so I'm doing a lot of lifting a little lighter in the weights, but higher reps. Plus, I'm doing more cardio in those weeks too.0 -
Hi Zedacat I dont think so... From my past experience, once I start working out ((consistency)) my "clean" eating will follow... its all in my head... why w/o and then over eat my cals and waste my efforts? So what works for me, water 80 oz, BMR calorie allowance 1300-1400, grams protein 75, plenty of fruits and vegs, cut out processed carbs as much as I can. What kind of HRM are you getting and what is your target date for starting CE?? Maybe we can start together??
Hi Erika I started with Jillian Michaels and her MTC... ideas, not diet and Shred ... but she sorta lost me since she came out w/ her magic pills a while back. Good 4 U.... changing it up not only keeps your body guessing, but keeps it fresh for you!! 0 -
Hi Healthworks - I will not following the nutrition plan either (I don't even have the book!) Your plan sounds pretty good to me. I ordered the Polar F7 HRM (got it really cheap on eBay). I was hoping to start the program as soon as I get it which should be in the next day or two....Would love to start together and keep each other motivated! When were you thinking of starting?0

Good Morning!
Well, I opted for sleeping in an extra hour and a half, versus doing my morning workout....and, I'm glad I did. My body needed that sleep! I'll catch up with my workout after work tonight....probably some elliptical work so I can watch a Hallmark or Lifetime movie while I'm at it!
Hope you all have a great day!0 -
Good Morning Jammers!
Sunday was my "rest" day, it felt soo good, but I always feel guilty like I should do something. I did go for a walk, but I feel like I needed to do more. Last night I did Turbo Kick for 60 minutes...I had a lot of energy so I did the whole routine. And then I did CE Push 3. I've been following Chalene's motto to "go heavy or go home"..haha.. and I am really suprised at how strong I am. Even though I am completely dying by the last rep...I feel so accomplished! I love this program. Unfortunately I can't take my weights with us on the flight to MN...so next week I'll have to take the week off....but I'm going to bring my Turbo Kick to get lots of cardio in during that week.
Have a great day!0 -

Went to American Eagle today to buy a new hoodie for the trip.... I have a feeling its going to be lots of sweaters & hoodies for me!! My dad wanted to take my husband ice fishing..hahahaha... my poor husband hasn't seen that cold of weather in his life! Haha! I hear you guys are getting lots of snow as of lately??0 -

Yeah, we had a big dumping of snow last week...closed down the schools around me (I'm in the south Metro) and south. My territory for work is southern MN, so I tend to see a lot of snow on my travels. But, I love the snow, so I'll take it.
Not sure on the temps for next week, but today it's barely above 0. End of the week is supposed to be in the 20's. We'll see what next week brings! Safe travels!0 -
Good Morning!!!!
I am dragging today...I think CE drained every last ounce of energy I had right out of me! I did Push 2 follow up by Fat Burn Challenge...Whoa! I need some major re-fueling! Working on that right now!
Hope you all have fantastic workouts today!0 -
Good Morning!
Last night I did Turbo Kick Round 32, and I ended up doing the whole routine including the legs/abs. It felt pretty good. This morning I woke up with a sore throat...ugh. So, I picked up a Coldbuster Jamba Juice today...hoping it will help me. Tonight is supposed to be a Turbo Kick/CE night...so hopefully I can get through it and then go to bed. Although if I feel any worse, I'm planning on just going to sleep. I really want to enjoy my vacation next week!0 -
Hi, is it alright if I join?
I'm a little shy, and don't post much on the boards.
I discovered Turbo Jam about a month or so ago, and have fallen completely in love with it. Today I did the Fat Blaster workout, then felt like I could do some more, so I added on the 20 minute workout and the mat section of Ab Jam.0 -

Great group of girls here!!! 0 -
Good Evening Ladies!
Just hopping on quickly to say hi...oh, and get away from the kitchen! I'm not sure what my deal is, but I think CE Push this week is making me HUNGRY! I honestly can not get to a point where I feel full...ugh! I must really be working my muscles good, as my triceps are still sore from Monday's workout and I could hardly walk today from the Push 2 circuit this morning. I'm hoping this hungry thing goes away soon, or I might have to put a lock on my pantry door!
Well, I hope you all have a great night. Not sure if I'll be on tomorrow...lots of stuff going on...I gotta be up and outta here by 4:45am for a work meeting...it's gonna be a long day!0
