    Ohh! I want to play! :happy:

    I just completed Burn week 1. I LOVE this program so far. It kicks my a**, but I can already feel more firmness and definition (underneath the fat...lol). The last time I lost weight, I really neglected strength training and focused primarily on burning as many calories as possible and losing weight. Now that I've regained all that weight I lost last year, I've decided to focus on FAT loss rather than "weight" loss. I still use my weight as one of several ways to track my progress, but I don't rely as heavily upon it. My clothes becoming looser and my triceps making an appearance are much better indicators of my progress! I get more excited about being a belt loop down than being a pound down.

    Tomorrow is a rest day, so I'll probably go for a run-walk. (I can't really say I go for "runs" yet...lol). Keep it up, everyone!

    How is ChaLean Extreme working for everyone? Is it basically a lifting program?

    I'm only a week in but loving it so far, there are three weight workouts a week plus two cardio which you either pair with an ab workout or a yoga style workout, so you get two rest days. :-)

    I'm done Week One! I'm looking forward to Week Two. I wrote down all my weights and I can definitely go up on some exercises.

    Hope everyone has a successful week!

    Hi ladies!

    I am back! I have become an auntie again and went home to meet my niece. I haven't exercised at all while I was home so I will be restarting on Friday!

    It is great to see the activity on here!

    I'll be checking in even though I am not starting till Friday.

    I need your advise as well. I need to change the given schedule. I was wondering if anyone of you does a different schedule?
    It is just that I have a busy week and I need one day completely off which for me is Sunday. I work on Saturdays and My work gets really busy and I am on my feet all day so I usually come home exhausted. So I also need Saturday off. I also work on Thursday but I am not as busy so I guess I can do a workout after that. So I was thinking to just shift the days so that I still have the breaks between the lifting days. Do you think that would be ok? Also what do you think about doing 2 workouts i.e lifting and cardio in one day and have 3 days off?

    Any input would be appreciated

    Daisy that is exactly what I do. I lift Mon, Wed, Fri with cardio Tue & Thu. If I feel really inspired (or energetic..lol) I will play with a little something on Sat, otherwise it's a rest day both Sat and Sun.

    @Daisy, I say as long as your doing it, it really doesn't matter how and when. My work and school schedules vary so much that I have to be flexible. But I'm at least trying to get in the 5 exercises each week, and an extra cardio day somewhere in there during the week.

    Welcome back!

    Hey ladies! Wish I'd seen this last week, I just restarted CLX again. I only made it to the end of the Burn phase last time, I'm going the whole way this time!

    Totally loving it, I'm on my second week, lifting Mon/Wed/Fri so tomorrow is Burn Circuit 2. Lots and lots of deadlifts going on in there! My favourite is BC3.
