    I gave it a whirl using the flat headed weights. My hands were sweating and kept moving...LOL. I need to exercise my wrists and build up their strength.

    wow, I'm only in push but can't wait to see what you guys are talking about....2 more weeks! I think it's good she's focused on core, but am thankful I did P90x before this and was punished with pushups in those workouts to get me ready for this. I do hate them, but am able to do them at least.....

    look forward to looking back on this thread in a few weeks!

    @shilsholebay: weight gloves might help with the sweating/slipping problem, but it never hurts to strengthen any weak link in our bodies. :happy:

    @Robin - I MISS push....I'm jealous you're still there! LOL. The combo moves in Lean are what make it so hard I think, all the balancing required forces me to reduce my weight a bit until I get my core stabilized. :grumble: And the pushups....argh. I was just getting to a point where I was doing them all on my toes...now I'm back to doing the last few on my knees. :explode:

    Oh, well...3 more weeks and hopefully I'll have my core stabilized, weights up a bit and my pushups all on my knees again! goals, goals, goals! :drinker:

    Whew! Lean is kickin my butt! I did one week then had a planned week vacation where I couldn't take my weights :( I was active but not doing CLX. Came back and busted out Lean 1 and oh my gosh I was practically crying at the end (I don't think that's the feeling Chalene is talking about when she says "remember this feeling at the end of your workouts"). My calorie burn was 50% higher than the first round of Lean 1. Whew.

    My arms were still sore 2 days later (today) but I did Lean 2 this morning and am anticipating mucho soreness tomorrow (and probably the next few days). I agree I don't "enjoy" these workouts as much as Push, but I still like the feeling of accomplishment and know that I am pushing hard to (hopefully) get results.

    Definitely itching for some cardio, even with the soreness. I TOTALLY forgot about Lean Intervals during the first week of Lean so I am excited to try that out tomorrow! [I will probably regret saying that ;)]

    those come in the deluxe package I think right? I don't believe I have those....
    that's ok...I have enough other options to choose from for the inbetween days. :smile:

    Yes, in the deluxe package. I dread doing them, but am happy when I finish!

    If I want to do round 2 of CLX (which I do), I have to buy the program. I am using a friend's DVDs at the moment.

    Just started week 2 of lean. Last week I made the change to Lean, then also did the Get Lean Intervals, as well as my first time with the Extreme Abs. OUCH.....what a week.

    And the other thing--I was not even hungry at the start of last week, but then starting maybe Thursday through now, I'm ravenous. Did any of you also have the hunger kick in when you were doing Lean?

    I hear this is something that happens when you build muscle, it's just a little alarming when it happens to you abruptly :)

    I started LEAN today and agree that it is tough but not in as good a way as I thought Burn was tough. In Burn i really felt my legs, hams, etc were getting a good workout. Today I only felt it in my biceps and triceps....

    And those tricep push ups? Right....Even on my knees it was tough.
