New to group, starting CE 10/15/12 Monday

:flowerforyou:
Looking for buddies to join me. I started, Chalean Extreme a year or so ago, I cant remember and quit after 2-3 weeks. I joined a gym earlier this year, when I joined MFP, lost 13 lbs, switched jobs, started working nights in April, and due to workig nights couldnt get myself together enough to continue what I started. Since then, I decided with all the stuff at home that I own, I can save money by working out at home. Literally, earlier this week I started logging in an hour daily on the treadmill to prepare for CE and really could use a SERIOUS pal to complete it this time! Any takers?

    congrats on starting tomorrow! I'm sure you will do great. I love working out at home too--it really is more efficient than going anywhere to exercise, and CLX is too, because the workouts aren't that long. I have found this is a small group and we have all started at different times--maybe post your questions and progress to the "progress thread" as well....there is some good support there.

    I'm in lean right now, and have 3 more weeks to go, but am thinking I'll either start over when I'm done, or do Lean for Life--or some kind of hybrid.

    You will love this program. I am just starting CLX now for the third time. Just finished Lean for Life and dove right back in repeating the program- going to lift heavier, which means I might be buying more weights. Good Luck. I love working out at home.

    It's a great program but be prepared to buy more weights. I started out w/ 3,5,8 and ended up all the way to 20's...they are expensive...I'm in LEAN now....

    I have 3, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20... I think I used the 3's maybe once and the 5's on the Burn Intervals... and there are lower body moves in Push where I wish I had heavier than 20... you really need to lift heavy to see the results you want! Only problem for me was that I always finished the sets and was never able to get to failure except a couple of times so I probably should have even heavier weights, but I just do what she says in "pretending they're heavier" lol

    I'm finishing Push phase and I'm using 17.5 for shoulder presses and biceps, 15 for lateral raises and tricep kickback extenstions, and 30 lbs for squats. And my pushups! So proud of my pushups. You will get strong and sleek if you push yourself. Stay motivated. :wink:
