    I just started chalean extreme i am in my second week.... i find im getting muscle definition but not really losing any weight or inches... more gaining inches.... im only using 7.5 pounds for each exercise not quiet sure whats going on but feel free to add me!

    In your second week your muscles will still be swollen from being used in ways they aren't used to. This accounts for any increase in size - just water.

    You do need to make sure your diet is on point though, it doesn't matter how much exercise you do or how much muscle you build - you have to burn the fat on top of that muscle to look smaller - which means eating at a sensible calorie deficit. Around 500 a day I'd say.

    you also definitely need heavier weights. The entire key to this programme is increasing your weights so every single exercise is TOUGH. Tough to the point of failure.

    Damn, I want to do this programme again now. It's really good fun.

    I am doing Turbo Fire right now...I am hoping to get CLX for my next program and Hybrid them. I think it looks like a great Strength training workout, which is kinda where I want to head next!!!!

    I'm on week 3 of the program (Burn) and LOVING IT. I have lost 1 lb a week so far. I'm happy with that. I love that the workouts are shorter. The longest I think is 37 mins or so. I do add in Turbo Jam 20 min workout when I want a boost. Also, do the Turbo Jam Fat Blaster that is included. I think it's great! Good Luck Ladies. Feel free to add me.

    This is precisely where I am. I'm doing Turbo Fire now and love it. When I'm done I want to move to the hybrid CLX program. Please feel free to add me, I want to get insight on both programs as well as support. :happy:

    I am on day 11 of chaLEAN extreme and Brazilian butt lift hybrid. I love chalene but only have weights up to 20 lbs right now so I really need some heavier ones (at least 25-30). Trying to save up some money for them. In a dream world is have bowflex selectTechs, but for now that's certainly out of the question.

    I hear ya. I'd love selectechs, they are just so expensive. I do occasionally keep my eye on them on Ebay and Craigslist but even there it's too much money right now.

    Hello!! I started the program again today. I did it about 2-3 yrs ago and saw great results. i've done them all. :laugh: I was looking for a more structured workout video to get myself back in gear so I said why not do it again. It's been in a drawer all this time. I had forgotten how good it makes me feel. My arms are still shaking. :tongue: Love it!!! Is there an official challenge CE thread or this is it? :flowerforyou:

    Anyone starting or re-starting in Mar? I had found a thread about a group in Mar but couldnt find the group itself to sign in. :noway: And the person who started the thread never responded to my message. :ohwell:
