Anybody using Chalean Extreme?

I'm really bad at following programs exactly, but I'm going to use Chalean Extreme as a basis for heavy lifting at home. I got it a long time ago, and can't remember exactly why I stopped, but most likely saw some results, relaxed a bit, and fell off the wagon. I'm training for a work capacity test for wildland firefighting in January (3 miles in 45 minutes with a 45 pound pack, no running or jogging), so I am going to mix my walking workouts with lifting, and probably some kettlebells, and maybe some kickboxing if I get bored. (That happens a lot with me and exercise programs :embarassed: )

I'd appreciate some buddies during all this, and any success stories would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Rachel

    I've done it twice and will be doing it again after my baby is born! I LOVE it and it helped to lean me out and bust through a plateau!

    Feel free to friend me!

    I used it in 2009, I got so many compliments on how toned I looked. I don't know why I stopped. I need to use it again but am trying so many other workouts. I love mixing it up.

    I just got mine today. I work nights so I didn't even get a chance to open it yet. Question! Of you who are using (or have used) this program: do you just use the resistance bands? I only have 3, 5 and 8 pound weights and can't afford to buy any additional weights.

    I started the program this week...and I am so sore!!! I run every other day, but I knew I needed to add weights to my routine. I haven't lifted in 20 years, but I'm determined! Did Burn Circuit 2 today almost a full body pushup! LOL!

    I did great the first week, then got super busy with unexpected work and didn't work out at all the last 2 weeks! GRRR! My fitness test is in 4 weeks, so really kicking my self back into gear and going to hit it hard!
