Ok...I have lost 43 pounds since February on MFP. I have been going to the gym doing spin class and various things and I have done a lot of the Jillian Micheals DVD's at home. It has worked great for me! But I am way bored with exercise these days and I am ready to try something new to shed these last 30ish pounds. I have been reading a lot about Chalean and Turbo Jam. For the ones out there that have done these...should I start out just doing one program first:? If so...which one? Or should start out doing the hybrid version of both programs that everyone talks about? Did you have good results with these programs?

HELP!!

Thanks!

    Everyone always says to do a program in it's entirety before doing a hybrid. You need to familiarize yourself with the routine. If you're looking to lose a large amount of weight, go with the turbojam because it's more cardio based and will help shed the fat. ChaLEAN extreme is GREAT too (im 1 day away from completing the 90 days) but it's mainly strength based and does more toning and leaning than it does fat loss. I haven't lost a single pound doing CLX, however, I have lost inches all over and changed the shape of my body. I'm now moving on to Turbofire to shed the pounds, as well as running (which i do 3x a week).
  • I am doing ChaLean Extreme and have lost inches and weight. I would recommend that b/c muscles burns fat and I love weight training / circuit training activities. She has a variety of things so I am never bored. I am right there w/ ya tho on boredom. I love to have variety. I have adult A.D.D I think, :laugh:

    I had done Turbo Jam before, but I went straight to a Chalean/Turbo Fire hybrid without doing either first. I love it and it works for me. I am on Day 90 and not bored at all. Huge changes to my body from both programs.
