    Aloha & Hola! I am orignally from Honolulu Hawaii but now living in the great state of Texas! I am 30 years old (Soon to be 31...yikes!!!) I am a Mommy to one 9 year old girl and our lives are pretty hectic! I feel like im always running around doing something and finding time for me is a miracle. Haha Lately I have been making fitness a priority in my routine. I am religous about going to my Body Jam classes on Tuesday & Thursday and now Ive started CLX. This is my second month on it and so far I am loving it! I am still on the Burn Circuits but feel like I am mastering the moves now, and I can actually do pushups! (Crazey I Know!)

    Before I did CLX I was a big fan of Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 DVDS. I did them all: 30 Day Shred, 6 week 6 pack and Ripped in 30, and I have nothing but great things to say about them. But after a certain point I felt like I needed more strength training. CLX took some time getting used to because it was slower paced and focused on lifting slowly but I like that! I dont feel rushed and yet I still feel like I am making a difference in my body.

    Anyways Im glad to be here and excited to meet you all!

    Lets get EXTREME!!!

    Hi, there! I am currently in my third week of Insanity which is INTENSE and it's a program I really enjoy. I recently had baby #3 and have had ChaLean X since early pregnancy. Because it's slow, it didn't captivate me initially. However, I have come to realize that I just "wasn't ready" (mentally) to begin making the necessary changes to improve my overall health and physical appearance. I am SO READY now and will be doing a hybrid of ChaLean Extreme and Insanity. I was looking into another weightlifting program, Venus Index, which I'd love to try eventually...but why not start off with something I already have on-hand?? I like Chalene's energy and personality, so I'm sure once I learn how to lift this will be a great program to commit to.

    Wow girl! That is so awesome! I totally get what you mean about not being ready Mentally. I was given the CLX program as a gift from a very good friend and when I first tried it I wasnt ready either. I mustve waiting over 6 months before really getting into it but im so glad I am doing it now!

    You are a super mom! Insanity & CLX! Go mama!

    I really would like to try the Insanity program one day.

    Well, it is great meeting you and glad you are here!!!

    Hi! Nice to have you here :) That's a question I was going to ask as well about the weights....I have learned that heavier creates leaner, more beautiful muscle and I am very much willing to go heavy on the weights!

    Hello. I'm a 43 year-old mother (an eight-year old daughter), wife, and educator. I started using MFP in January 2012 and I've enjoyed the support, motivation, and encouragement from other members on this site. I started Chalene Xtreme a LONG time ago, but stopped (I really don't recall why I stopped), but finding this group makes me want to start back. I'm going to start Monday and do my very best to complete the program. Thanks for the group, I know I'm going to need the support and encouragement to complete the program.

    I LOVE all of Jillian Micheals' workouts! So far, I've completed 30-Day Shred and Ripped in 30 (twice). I'm currently on the last week of 6 Week 6-Pack. My regular workout routines include Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism, Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout, No More Trouble Zone and Jillian MIchael's Kickboxing DVD. I plan to continue to incorporate these workouts in with Chalene Xtreme.

    Hello everyone!
    I'm a 47 year old mom (22 year old), wife, and career woman. Grew up in Missouri not far from Kansas City and lived in the KC area my entire life until 1 1/2 years ago, now I live in the Tulsa area. Moved here for my career/company, which I'm celebrating 25 years with today. I'm in the Push phase, just started week 3 of Push yesterday and I'm loving ChaLean! I'm definitely seeing toning in my legs and arms and feeling it in my clothes, yeah! Hoping to really get to burning my remaining belly and love handles fat that's still around.
    I'm not hitting 50 frumpy and out of shape I'm going in healthy, active, and loving it!

    How Fantastic! I am sure that by now you have seen great results! I am only on the burn phase for my second month in a row but...I am loving the results. Ive never felt more toned in my life. After having a child 9 years ago and loose skin on my belly I can finally say my tummy is flat. Screw the stretch marks I dont care about them anymore! :)
