Have you heard of Turbo Fire or Turbo Jam? ChaLean Extreme is done by the same instructor but instead of being cardio it is a strength training and cardio program. you do 3 strength days with two cardio days and it has 3 phases for a total of 120 days. If you are interested in learning more you can message me.

I haven't been able to do ab workout at all this month. I am hoping I can start doing them again next week.

Did lean 2 today and followed it up with parts of the recharge to hopefully stretch me out a little. In this phase I am finding 4 1/2 minutes of cool down is just not enough. As the day goes on I tend to get more and more stiff. Is anyone else finding this to be the case? If so what have you done to help combat the issue.…

You also feel it more in more butt when you do this as well. I have found lunges, squats and dead lifts have helped to raise and tighten my butt. I love it. I have heard that if you feel it more in the top of your thigh then or glutes and hamstrings when you do a lunge then you aren't doing them right. Just another way to…

Not sure if this is the problem but one of the mistakes most people make when doing squats and lunges is that they don't stick their butt out enough which causes the knees to jut out over the ankle this causes pain in the knee. So check or form out in the mirror and see if this is the issue. when doing a lunge your front…

Update:: So I decided to listen to my body yesterday and take an extra non workout day. I am so glad I did I feel so much better today. Thank you all for your suggestions. It just goes to show that we need to try to be in tuned with our bodies and listen to them more.

I do have Inflammatory arthritis which is very similiar to rheumatoid arthritis the only difference is as of yet in the progression of the disease I do not have RA markers. So I fight fatigue and flares ups ( very painful days). This is why I worry about finding balance. I want to push myself but I don't want to push so…

Bumping for other opinions. :heart:

My chest was screaming all weekend after Lean 3 so many push-ups and chest flies. But I definitely see an improvement.

I'm a beach body coach and love helping others. If you don't want a bunch of motivational stuff then let him or her know this. We are what ever our customers need that is what is so great. If you need someone to be motivational that is what you get if you need someone to answer questions then you ask. I use my coach for a…

I drink mine for breakfast or for a snack. The great thing about shakeology though is all the natural ingredients. I have been drinking it since March and love it it has helped with cravings (though I don't limit myself I modify). I won't try to tell you that it doesn't take will power to stop at one donut or not eat them…

Shakeology is a meal replacement and nutritional shake. It has superior ingredients and 70 natural ingredients that give you a lot of the nutrition you need from food. Prebiotics, antioxidants, protein, and much more. Message me if you want to know more.

I have read where so many feel to hungry the day after a heavy lifting day to go down to a lower calorie number. I know I am not doing NROLFW but I am famished on the days after I lift. I believe this is partly why so many just find an average and eat that every day.

:laugh: So I thought I would go up in weight for the first bicep curl for the first circuit yesterday oh my goodness :noway: I'm glad I did but I can understand why Pipsg1r1 said she didn't really go up in weights during this phase.

So do I. I love interval training though it is just better I guess.

Started my second week of the Lean phase yesterday. Will do a month of lean for life schedule and then will probably get the deluxe program and do another round. I am loving this program.

The EMTWL group does not advocate exercising more to eat more. We advocate eating more to sustain what you already do. Most of us only work out 5 days a week 3x strength training and 2, 20-30 minute HIIT workouts. So please don't talk about things that you know nothing about.

To give you the short answer even though you have been eating more for 12 weeks you haven't been consistent at all during this time. Your body has no idea what you are doing to it. You are eating a different amount every week and not just a 50 calorie difference. For this to work you have to pick a number and stick with it…

Lean circuit 1 done. I haven't stopped being sore since I started this phase. Anyone else had this same experience?

This is what I am afraid of which is why I think I am going to order it. I think that knowing beyond a doubt what I burn will put my mind at ease and make me feel more relaxed about fueling my body properly. I feel stuck right now I want to eat the right amount but some days I worry I am eating to much and others I worry…

I agree not what I was expecting at all but, surprising enough I actually liked it. I like how my upper body is sore and how my stomach and sides feel worked even though I didn't get in a single ab work out last week. Really excited to see the results of this month. Do you like it?

LOL I suppose you are correct if I was a wimp I would have quite through the first workout and said screw it. :bigsmile: All the push ups were crazy today. Push up into a side plank, tricep push up break down, traveling push ups, army crawl. OMG my arms and shoulders feel like lead.

Hopefully you guys can give me your opinion. I am not sure whether I am lightly active or moderate. So many of you are using moderate but do way more than I do. I am a SAHM, taking online classes so I sit more than half my day at my office desk. I put in about 3hrs worth of cleaning and cooking a day and work out 3 maybe 4…

The calvert BF calculator on fat2fit is more accurate for women because it takes more measurements since women seem to be bigger around the hips and waist. This is the one I use though it says I am at 21% BF and there is no way so what I did was calculate the military one and the calvert and average the two out which then…

Lean 3 is done!!!! I am spent. I feel like such a wimp!!!

I drink GNC Wheybolic Amp 60 one scoop right after my work out and use a different protien shake for not work out days. This one has stuff in it that aids in recover and muscle strength. It is expensive but I only take one scoop instead of 3 (meant for big boys) so it lasts 2 months.…

The only advice I have is push through. It depends on whether watching them will psych you up or psych you out. I really had to make myself do the work out yesterday after watching the video the night before but doing lean 1 with out watching made me completely unprepared. In lean 1 and 2 you get into plank position…

This exactly. Remember you are already at a deficit so going over one day isn't going to affect the whole picture.

Hahaha!! Must be the later one because I swear I am not even sure how I am getting through this phase at all.

Lean circuit 2 and I had to stop and start many times during the plank/ row and the one where you lift your opposite leg and arm. WOW I am a sweaty, shaky mess right now.
