Well, I'm a ChaLEAN Extreme FANATIC!!! I LOVE HER and her programs, CLX will get you to where you need to be - trust me! If you stick with the program and eat right you will be FINE! You will feel like a bad azz for real. Just make sure you are doing the program correctly where you are fatiguing at the end of the sets, if…

You guys are amazing! Being a amateur lifter here but I must admit the shoulder definition that I have is inspiring so I'm always in the mirror doing some stupid pose to show off my shoulders. Now if my triceps would follow suit I will be sooo satisfied! How many dang tricep push-ups does a girl have to do!?!

Blessed, in the meantime, if you check your local gym or community center, you may find a PiYo class. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeXGDDqxg34 [/quote] ^^^^^^ Thank you!

Since you don't have much equipment right now, I would suggest looking into doing body weight exercises ( Squats, Push-ups, walking lunges with or without the weights, burpees and mountain climbers). When you want to up your game and invest in more weights. CHeck out Chalene Extreme program, it's a great program for…

I like it too, seeming as I have become so busy in life, I can still let my friends know I'm there for them. Although, a personal message is always best, something is better than nothing. I just wish I can stop getting all these notifications from other people who have commented after me on my friends post. I would only…

Not an expert, but you need to focus on PROTEIN for muscle..I was given advice that you need to get 1g of protein for each pound that you are when trying to gain muscle..I had my macros at 40% protein, 40% carbs and my at fat 20%. I never really hit my protein macros w/o using protein powders and my carbs are always more…

Lots of helpful stuff here - thanks!

^^^^^^^ this -- I LOVE TURBO FIRE!! I do it in my basement - i have the padded squares, please wear shoes and watch those knees - had a set back while doing this program and had to have knee therapy...it didn't stop me, I just modified and keep on going - great results - love Chalene Johnson!

Another cheerleader here for CHalene! I love ChaLean Extreme and Turbo Fire! No matter what workouts or programs I do, I always incorporate these 2 programs! Love Chalene and I really wish she would come out with something new, I'll been waiting forever! Last year I got Turbo Fire on a Groupon deal and it was a steal! I…

Leslie Samsone is awesome! Great workout and very low impact. I would also suggest looking up wokout DVD's and search with key words "low impact". Also, if you are doing a workout dvd you can always modify the moves to suit you. Good luck - it's definitely possible!

Whoa! This is NOT good --- loss of muscle mass is never a good thing...slow and steady wins the race..

I use it in smoothies and with my protein powders especially my cookies and cream protein powder.

You guys look great

Yes, throw that HRM monitor away! invest in a Polar! best purchase ever and worth every cent!

That does seem extremely high for a walk..maybe it's time to invest in another HRM. What kind do you have? Does it have a strap?

Thank you, great workouts on here!

TURBO FIRE! Great music and LOTS OF FUN with Greeat results! I don't believe in reading, watching tv, etc why doing exercise I'm focusing on burning fat! But that's just me...

Such an inspiration! you look fanatastic, your story is what has made you a better person! Keep doing you and I'm so glad you toke care of your bueiness and kick him out of your life and found your mate.

I can't say that I've given up anything. But I do eat in moderation and allow it to fit into my calories. But I've always said I will NEVER GIVE UP PIZZA!

Polar 4t owner for about a year And LOVE IT! Best purchase ever along with my FITBIT!

On week 4, today my heart rate got up to 205 bpm - NEVER has that happened! This CD is sooo hard and I go at my own pace and takes breaks when I need it. Good luck...I'm just striving for this to work for me...

I don't use a pre workout supplment either. I eat yogurt or a piece of fruit and make sure I'm already hydrated with water.

I agree! bump

I agree, I loving eating more to lose weight!

HRM is the only way to log your burned calories accurately...I can't live without mine. And I type my own descriptions into MFP for my workouts, I don't use Interval Training or Pilates...

I'm on Week 3 -- I have a love/hate relationship with Shaun T!

Liftbig "Eyes" - beautiful!

I just finsihed Chalean Extreme about 2 months ago and I had INCREDIBLE results! I ate around 1800 calories a day (I'm 5'2" and weight at that time was 145 lbs, I'm 40 yrs old.) I didn't weigh myself until after the entire program, because inches rule for me, I could care less about that stupid number on a scale. I lost a…

bump - for later...never thought about this but would love to know, I probably wouldn't...
