Hi everyone,
I have lost 75 lbs and have 15 more to go. I have quite a bit of belly fat still to lose/tone up. I'm not sure if I should do Insanity or ChaLEAN to help me shed these last 15. Don't I have to get rid of the fat before I can tone the muscle underneath? Please let me know what you recommend.

thanks!

    If you only have 15 to go I would do Insanity cardio OR Turbo Fire (HIIT training) with Chalean. Turbo Fire is my FAVE!

    I'm doing both Insanity and ChaLean X too. Insanity and Turbo Fire are both more cardio and ChaLean X is mostly weights. After I'm done with Insanity, I'm going back to Turbo Fire/ChaLean X hybrid schedule. I LOVE Tubro Fire!!!

    I think I will do Insanity first and see if that helps me hit my goal. Then look into ChaLEAN or Turbo Fire. Thanks!

    well wow...congrats on the 75lb loss...that's amazing!!!

    & as for what to do.. I'd highly suggest Insanity. I've completed 3 rounds. My first round I dropped 25lbs and two jean sizes :D
    It's INTENSE cardio so you lose a lot of fat, and great resistance moves. :) It's my ultimate favorite workout!!

    Sounds like you have already made up your mind but I'll add my two cents anyway. :)

    I would go for Chalean. Because you are so close to your goal that you could probably use more strength training to tone and build muscle which will in turn help burn the last of the fat you want gone. I did 5 weeks of Chalean before my DVD messed up and I am currently waiting for a replacement, but I saw the most physical change in my body during that time. Right now while I'm waiting for Chalean I am doing Insanity 3 days a week and lifting 3 days a week. However, I still have a lot more to lose then you.

    Once I get as close to my goal as you are my priority will be heavy lifting in order to build muscle and tone.

    I have 2 days left to complete Insanity and the scale hardly budged, however i can really see and feel the difference. I am going to start Chalene on Monday.

    I haven't heard anything about ChaLean X, but I did start Insanity 2 days ago, and I have already lost 4 pounds (mind that I just got back from a big Vegas vacation of eating and drinking).

    I really like insanity right now. My legs are intensely sore, and feel like I get good workouts. And this is coming from a guy who has ran a marathon and an Ironman 70.3.

    I appreciate all of the feedback! I'm going to get both, but I now think I'll start with ChaLEAN. Thanks again!
