Don't be so hard on yourself! Changes don't happen on the first day other than you saying "I am committing to this!" And the same on day 2, 6, 8, 40, etc!
But changes YOU start to notice when you begin heading into the Push phase.

I got some weights at Target for $70. They are ProForm and came in a set. Most weights (I'm sure your boyfriend will attest to this) come in singles and are flippin' expensive!! SelecTechs are a brand name and quite expensive. Same with PowerBlocks. Her weights look big but she will tell you the weight she is using. The 25 and the 15 look almost exactly the same.

I did Burn with bands and switched to weights in Push. That was much better for me.

I don't think any of us were able to keep up with pushups at first. TBH I still can't. I do as many on my toes as I can then switch to knees. You are the only person who knows! You are the person who can start with 3 and then at the end do 7. that is OK! that's a huge improvement!!

the 10 will probably get you thru the Burn month. Save up and look for sales on Craigslist or Amazon for weights.

We're cheering you on!!

Doing ChaLEAN helped my metabolism, so yes, it's definitely worth doing. I didn't finish it, but just the burn and push months were amazing for my self esteem and my energy levels. I don't understand all the science behind it, but I feel a lot more stable now that I have at least a little muscle.

If you're losing weight to be healthy, and you want to keep it off, lifting is amazing.

Hi, just did my first Burn Circuit yesterday. I didn't realize that the weights they are using are HUGE!!! I only have 3, 5, and 10 lb weights and I realized they were way too light for me. I don't like bands so that's not an option. I might be able to get a 15 or 20 lb weight from my BF but he has only one (don't ask me why). I can't afford the selectable weight dumbells but if Walmart or Target have a 25 lb, I might be able to swing for one on Friday. Should I keep going?

Here's the other thing...I FEEL SO FAT DOING THIS! I'm over 40% body fat (sad, yes) and I can keep up with them (except for pushups...ugh). I don't know, I feel like I should be doing more cardio to burn off this flubber before I start lifting like this. I know it's so good to lift, but is that true even if you're pretty fat like me???? I am supplementing with more cardio...I don't know...

Great job! I never tought about wall pushups!!
I hear you! I am also over 40% bf and can't do a knee push up! I am doing wall push ups at the moment.

I purchased 25lb adjustable weights from walmart, Gold's Gym. They are working well.

I would keep going. I am in week 3 of Burn and I am happy that I am sticking to it. I plan on doing the entire 90 days. It has given me a boost in energy, that is for sure.

Friend me if you like, we can cheer each other on!

I took off Saturdays, especially during the summer with my son having Swim Meets on those days. I would just pick up the next workout on Sunday.

I have some photos posted of my success with this program in another thread.

you can do this!
