Has anyone else done Chalean Extreme using the resistance bands? What colors (weights) did you get? I just ordered it and so far I have the teal (5 lbs), pink (15 lbs) and magenta (20 lbs) bands...would you recommend getting any heavier ones or is that good for a beginner?
TIA!
TIA!

That should be good for a beginner. When I first did it I only had a 5 lb set of dumbbells and then eventually I added a set of 10's. I still gained a ton of muscle just from using those. My parents got me the bowflex dumbbells for Christmas and then I redid it and really went heavy. So you should be in great shape to get started!!! Did you just get the program?0

and they show you in the dvds how to "choke up" on the bands which increase the resistance.0

Keep an eye on your craigslist for weights. I found my set for $255 and they were like brand new. The guy had a back injury and wasn't able to lift anymore. Plus my parents paid for them, but a whole lot cheaper!!!0
