    Do you know much about the ChaLean Extreme program yet? I just started doing her TurboJam and I heard about that one and I thought about getting that when it comes out.

    Connie

    It's coming out soon, I can't wait! I'll let you know when it's available. It looks like an awesome new program from Chalene, I love her!

    Jess

    Me too! I really want to get this program. I just wonder how much of a difference it is compared to P90X. It sounds similar, but I love Chalene...I'd have to go with hers. lol... I hope a date comes out soon. I desperately need to get back on track and I think her new program will be very motivating. Can't wait!

    BIG THANKS to everyone who responded!!!

    I get it now - I have the sheets, I just wasn't sure if I should be following the "Classic", "Doubles" or "Lean" - I guess maybe the lean or classic is for me!

    I do Jillian Michael's Shred and find it a good workout - is this MUCH harder? Or similar?

    A few people have said they are "coaches" - what does that mean exactly?

    Thanks again!

    I have heard that Classic is the best rotation, due to the fact that muscle burns more fat and the
    Classic rotation has more weight training...

    If you purchase a product from Team Beachbody, you are assigned a coach that can help answer questions, give support, help if you have any customer service problems, and help you with your program! It's free to *Play the game* and you can use the message boards, order products, log your workouts into WOWY (work out with you, the online gym), etc. I have my site listed in my profile, if you're interested in finding out more info!

    I don't have any of Jillian's workouts, so I can't compare them to P90X. HTH!

    I personally prefer the Classic rotation, but other people like the Lean. Classic you do 3 weight training workouts a week as opposed to 2 with the Lean version (although Core Synergistics does have some weights, it's not a *heavy* weight workout).

    Christine - did you end up doing the workouts? How was the programme? I went to start today, and I wimped out and did Jillian Michael's Shred instead!

  • Hello Amanda,
    I'm starting today week 9 and I'm nearing 10 lbs lost and that's not following the nutrition plan (don't whup me). It's an awesome and intense activity & it borderlines on addiction. Lean is designed primarily for ladies who want to sculpt, but I recommend classic which combines resistant and cardio evenly throughout the program.

    Be prepared to sweat, be prepared to be sore and be prepared to spend som $$$$$
    DVDs - $115 (+shipping)
    recovery drink - $39.99 (+shipping)
    pullup bar - (59.99 + shipping)
    new clothes after complete body metamorphasis.....pricel

    :happy:

    Wow that's a blessing for sure, should have read it all the way through I see. Yep I'm probably going to post pics at day 90.

    Thanks and keep us posted.

    For pull-up bars... the P90X bar is great as long as you have a door frame it'll fit in. It worked at my old apt. but not at the new one, sadly, because the frames are too thick.

    I did, however, just pick up The Perfect Pullup at Target... I don't like the grip as much as on the P90X bar, but it'll do for now :)

    I did do the workouts. they were great. I love them. However I did not get great results due to struggling with fibrmyalgia pain so I was on 2 -4 days off 1 or so weeks. I am healed and have no pain. I am training for a 10 km now and will try to work in p90x also some were.

    My Mom is doing what she can w/ P90X also, she's also a fibromyalgia sufferer!!! She has her good days and bad days, but the Dr. said that lifting weights was REALLY helping her and she feels much better staying active! I hope to hear from you soon!

  • Jess girl you look great, I know you've heard this, but it's good to hear it again I'm sure.

    I'm going to be a coach after 90 days and I get a good grip on the nutrition guide.

    Thanks! I have yet to start it, but I'm planning on it - trying to get hubby on board! He works out at the gym with his friends (I suspect he will miss the male chit chat)....
