Hey, I can't join the challenge because i'm actually currently doing the CLX/TF hybrid (on week 9 of 20)
but just wanted to encourage you and everyone to seriously DO this program. It's a great program & a lot of fun!

Have fun with it & LIFT HEAVY!

What does the Chalean Extreme Challenge consist of?

I got that for Christmas last year but I never really got into it! I am packing a lot this week and moving next Sunday, but I will start next Monday and just be a week behind you but I really do want to do it!

Chalean Extremem is a beachbody product. It's essentially a strength training program with some cardio mixed in. You're encouraged to lift heavy.

generally 5, 8, 10, and 15lb weights are good for beginners.

I posted this for other people that have the program or are going to get the program soon so that we can all check in and keep each other accountable. All that's requested of you is that you follow the Chalean Extreme fitness program and check in here daily after your workout or weekly.

If no one is able to participate I will still be using this thread as a journal to keep track of my progress

oo that's awesome! I have Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire too (TF is a little too much for me at the moment lol but I am hoping with a couple rounds of CLX that i'll be able to do a hybrid!! Congrats!!!

I will post my measurements in here too sometime before next Monday. I haven't taken any in a while so I'll have to do them again!

Just finished Burn circuit 1 of CLX.

I did circuits 1 and 2 last week and today was supposed to be #3 but i figured i'd just start over so i can keep an accurate schedule.

my adjustable weights increase by increments of 5 so i def think i need a 8lb set to do some of the fly moves...

wore my HRM and burned 300 calories.

I started Burn phase today (I had done earlier in the summer, but never completed).
My stats are similar to yours, although I don't have all of them since the coach at
Weight Loss challenge has them.
I don't have a HRM, but I like the # of calories you expended; that's fewer than
my casual research shows.

My question is, how does one get a Chalean Extreme ticker? I've seen one, and cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it!

Length of 1.65 m
CW of 60.5 kg
24.3 % body fat
Lean body mass of 45.8 kg

Hips: 89.5 cm
Waist: 75 cm
R thigh: 56 cm
L thigh: 56.5 cm
R upper arm: 26

shannonshock13

yay! I'm so excited that you guys are going to participate! Today was a "rest" day according to the Chalean calendar but i walked 3 miles just to get some sort of activity in

As far as the ticker goes, you can customize it to look like pretty much however you want. You just need to find a Chalean Extreme image and edit your ticker from there.

Burn circuit 2 39 minutes 342 calories burned according to my HRM.

Went a little heavier on some, and a little lighter on 1 that was too heavy last week.

Able to get about 1/2 way down on a tricep pushup.

Did burn circuit 1 for the first time this morning, burned 222 kcals according to my hrm. Used weights between 2 and 5 kg and should go up in weight for most excercises. Also did 6 of the on the toes pushups! Guess those on knees I did in the 30ds did pay off ;-)

I didn't log on yesterday BUT i did do my workout while my turkey was cooking

Today was burn circuit 3 (and ab burner since i forgot about that yesterday)

48 minutes total burned 360 cals

I really am in love with this program, I am hoping that after this first 90 day round that fitness will be a routine and i can start to clean up my diet more. I am taking this somewhat slowly and focusing on one goal at a time (in the beginning) if i take on too much too soon i get overwhelmed and give up.

SO fitness first (my eating isn't THAT bad i just have a tendency to over eat)

I hope everyones thanksgiving was wonderful!

Thanx!

What kind of weights are you using? Mine have those screw on closures, so with the low weights changing plates takes ages. Didn't foresee that when I bought them. Guess I'll put a pair of smooth dumbell bars and some spring closures on my wish list. That way I can also have two pairs in different weights ready for action ;-)

yea we had those kind of weights and they were driving me nuts and really putting me off to working out. So i sold em and bought these for $180 on sale at play it again sports

(came with a stand too so i don't have to bend over and hurt my back whilst putting the weights back)

They're great just like the bowflex ones just not as sleek looking, but they only go up in increments of 5lbs instead of 2.5lbs.

I don't know where you're at but if you look on craigslist people are always selling dumb bells for way cheap on there!

HI! I LOVE Chalean Extreme! I did the whole program last year, but, uh, kinda skipped a lot of the cardio days. Ha Ha! I love the lifting days though! This time around, I'm committed to the cardio days as well. I do like them, they seem to be a precursor to Turbo Fire. : )
Can I join the group? I was planning on starting this program tomorrow or Monday, but just wanted to check out the boards before I started. : )
