I am looking for a good lifting program. I have done ChaLean Extreme so many times through that I just don't look forward to it anymore (LOVE the program and Chalene, just hate how I know every move/everything that's said from doing it so many times).

I'm looking for a program instead of just a DVD. I have mannnny programs and DVDs but hope there's something else that someone will recommend that I haven't yet tried. (I have CLE, P90X, X-TrainFit, and 90 Day Supreme in regard to lifting programs.) Also, I find that I don't like to follow programs per a book - DVDs are much more motivating for me. :)

Any suggestions are welcome!

    Great program for starting is New Rules of Lifting for Women. It will get you into the weight room in the gym in a less than intimidating way.

    Or there is Strong Lifts 5x5, which I am starting now to really gain some strength after NROL for Abs..

    if you want any advice with lifting, feel free to message me. :smile: I love lifting heavy.

    Oh, you're looking for a DVD lifting program - read that real fast.. P90X2? :P Maybe some bodyrock.tv - it's not strength training, per say, but interval training.

    There is Supreme 90 - I think. It's on amazon for decently cheap. If you're looking for a real, high quality program, go with a book though. :smile: IMO.
