So, I will be starting my second round of ChaLEAN Extreme on December 26th. Who's in?

I thought that it would be nice to compare notes and to just have motivation along with each other.

Why December 26th? Simply because I will get to use my Christmas Gifts that are teasing me. (My bowflex select techs!!!)

  • I'm with ya!! But I am still doing Insanity so I will be starting slowly. I think I am going to incorporate the Burn Dvds in and then actually do the whole program after I am done with Insanity. I am actually planning on trying the first one tonight because I just got my resistance bands!

    So excited! what did you think of it the first time around?

    I loved it!!! I lost over 13 inches! It was awesome. I just wanted to change it up a little bit until I get the select techs. That way I could kinda shock my body in a way too.

    It is quite challenging but it was a good challenge. I think this time I will do the Turbo Jam cardio in place of the cardio days that are on CLX. They were ok but they didn't seem to get my heart up the way Turbo does. So I will do the circuits and do different cardio.

    You are so going to love it! Don't be shocked if you don't lose weight with it but make sure to take your measurements. :)

    The first month you can get away with up to about 8lbs. But if you do not have weights I would either get the weights where you can adjust them to a minimum of 25lbs or get resistance bands. I had some weights from the past that I used then as soon as I looked around at going heavier I couldn't believe how pricey it got. So my fiance' ordered me the bowflex select techs. The go from 5lbs to 52.5lbs.

    I tried Chalean and somehow stopped. Maybe this will motivate me. I'm in.
  • I would love to join! I'm not starting until January 1st though. Just doing my Turbo Fire and Turbo Kick and PiYo and Insanity and whatever I else I want to in the meantime!
