Chalean Extreme Group Starting Monday 5/23

Cee-How funny is that? I burned 569 calories too!! That is so odd. I loved this workout. It was so much fun!! I see my "kickboxing" teacher really did steal a ton of moves from this workout. It made it easier for me to keep up. I need all the help I can get. LOL Unfortunately my head is pounding again since I stopped.

LaCubana: Thanks for checking in on my knees They're still very sore, but the funny thing is, they don't bother me as badly when I start exercising. Now, if I bend down to pick something up, that's a whole 'nother story! I've been able to do Burn Circuit 1 & 2 and 4 short Turbo Jam workouts (the 20 minute workout & Ab Jam) within the last 3 days, so I think I'm going to make it, LOL. I don't know what I did, because I'm super careful about keeping my knees over my heels when I do squats & lunges. I think my body is just rebelling against all this exercise!

I know this is a CLX thread, but I now LOVE, LOVE, LOVE TURBO JAM!!!! I still love CLX too, but the few Turbo Jam workouts that I've done are so much fun, I keep thinking "am I really working out?" Tomorrow will be Burn Intervals, so that and Ab Burner will probably be all I'll do. Saturday morning is Burn Circuit 3, so maybe I can fit in Cardio Party sometime later in the day. (Who is this person that is talking about exercising twice in one day, and what did they do with Andi???? Would you believe that I was about as sedentary as you can get just 3 months ago?)

I hope everyone has a great Friday! Keep it EXTREME!!!

Andi, I feel ya on that Turbo Jam! That's what got me so hooked on Chalene in the first place! I still have yet to buy Turbo Jam Fat Burning Elite! Can't wait to get it cuz I need some new ones in my life!

Marianne! We're both gonna be PUSHing it soon! I'm sooooooooo excited!

Burn Circuit 1 for the last time today (today's the last week of the first month of my hybrid). I upped all the weights (except the legs, of course) by at least 2.5 pounds. I did 17.5 pounds for the biceps and definitely failed by the 7th rep. As a matter of fact, I failed doing all my arm exercises. And what also was surprising was that I did all 8 (+3 extreme) push-ups - those are done at the very end of the circuit. It was surprising to me since I had worked my arms so hard. When I was doing the TF Stretch 10 class, my poor arms were trembling!

I start the HIIT month next Friday. There are NO CLX classes in that month except for Ab Burner, I believe. I'll stick around to support everybody but I don't want to bore anyone with TF talk.

Marianne-You look great!!

Cee-Wow! You're doing great!! My weights are wimpy because I'm still waiting for the big ones to get here! Today was probably the first day I would have liked more than I had for my arms. I've always wanted more for my legs.

Marianne-You look great!!

THANK YOU....!!!! :bigsmile:

Hey everyone!

I've been MIA the last couple days (logged in with my food and walk though!) because I was extremely disappointed. I slept on my neck funny a few nights ago and I woke up with the tightest trapezius muscle (that's the muscle that runs from up your neck down the back of your shoulder/shoulder blade). I couldn't lift my right arm above my shoulder, do pushups, or even hold my head in certain positions without it tweaking that muscle. So I've missed 2 of my workout days!!! I did do a 4 mile walk the first day (which should have been a burn circuit 3 day), then I didn't do anything yesterday (which was a cardio day). today is a "rest day" but I'm actually feeling much looser so I'm going to try my BC3 and see if I can do it. I also am going to be planting my 12'x4' garden today, so that'll get me some cardio and I may try to walk again later too. IF I'm really feeling good after BC3, I may just do my Burn It Off and Recharge and get back on track with my CLX schedule.

Cat~ I am SOOOOO incredibly jealous that you got the Select Techs!! Enjoy them. What a wonderful hubby you have!

Cee~ Doesn't it feel good when you know you've done everything you could to make the most of your workout?

Marianne~ Fantastic job!!! You look great!!!

Bev~ I haven't worked out that long in a long time. The last time I did, it was with Chalene with Turbo Jam. So I think if I stick with Chalene, I'll be golden. For some reason, she can just keep me coming back and pushing play.

LaCubana~ Can't wait to hear about your results!! Whoo hoo!! congrats on finishing your first 30days!

Hi,

I've still got Burn Intervals & Burn It Off to do, but I decided to take my measurements this morning as I won't have time to do it tomorrow...

SO..... drumroll please......

After completing the BURN phase -

I have lost 4.6 lbs (probably will be a little bit lower tomorrow)../

WAIST - 2 inches lost
BUST - 1 inch lost
CHEST - no loss
HIPS - no loss
RIGHT ARM - 1 inch lost
LEFT ARM - no loss
RIGHT THIGH - 1 inch lost
LEFT THIGH - no loss
CALF - 1 inch lost
KNEE - 1 inch lost


A total of 7 inches LOST...... YAY.....!

Marianne, AWESOME results. Welcome to the push phase! Don't forget to push as hard as you can and try not to use the scale as a measure of your progress for this phase. My BB coach told me that the scale will likely stall or go up and that it did. I'm in my last week and can't wait to start doing the TF HIIT classes. I'm going on a cruise in about 3 weeks!

LaCubana!!!! Awesome results!!! I can't wait to see the pics. And yes, your arms are AMAZING!!! I wish mine would look like yours, but I still have too much "cushioning" to see much muscle development yet. GREAT job!

I finally got my garden planted, and burned 434 calories in the process. Now lunch time, then once my stomach rests a bit, off to do the beginning of Burn Week 4. 9 more days!!
