  • I finished week 3 yesterday, and I'm amazed at how much more I'm able to put into each workout as each week goes by. I'm loving the program more and more each week, to the point that I get really aggravated if I have to change up the schedule to make sure I don't miss a workout. I had to do that for last Friday's workout,…
  • Today is day 1 of week 3, and I am proud to say that I have followed the schedule 100% thus far! I am still loving everything except for stretch 40, but it wasn't as bad yesterday as it was the first time around. I'm really looking forward to doing Fire 45ez for the first time tonight. I lost another 1/2 pound last week,…
  • Um, yeah. I did Core 20 and Stretch 40 on Sunday, and every time I've sneezed today, I wanted to cry! It's not like I haven't done any ab work recently, so it must be a good workout!
  • cottonay, your 1 week results are amazing, and I seriously doubt the 3 pounds was a true gain! I agree with you on Stretch 40, plus some of those plank into tricep pushups/high splits/etc. combos are hard for me to do! I just finished Fire 45 for the first time, and I LOVED IT! I did the new to class option, and along with…
  • Hi! I actually started the program on the 1st, and I'm happy to say that I completed the first week yesterday! At the beginning of the week, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to keep up, but I can't believe how much easier Fire 30 is for me now. Okay, I still wouldn't call it easy, but I don't dread it anymore. I'm…
  • Hi all! I'm back from my travels (for now), and I'm beyond ready to get back into the push phase! Thankfully, I didn't gain anything while I was away, and I did get in a few Turbo Jam workouts in my hotel room. I'll be visiting family next week, so I feel like I need to make the most of this week! I decided to basically…
  • Janine & Marianne, congrats!!! Your results are fabulous and well-deserved! I wish I could report significant changes, but unfortunately, I failed to measure myself until the end of week 2 of Burn Phase. I do appear to have lost 1/2" on my chest, waist and hips since then, and I lost 2 lbs during the month. I'm pretty sure…
  • LaCubana: Thanks for checking in on my knees :) They're still very sore, but the funny thing is, they don't bother me as badly when I start exercising. Now, if I bend down to pick something up, that's a whole 'nother story! I've been able to do Burn Circuit 1 & 2 and 4 short Turbo Jam workouts (the 20 minute workout & Ab…
  • Yesterday was a real bummer. I so wanted to start out strong on my last week of the Burn Phase, but for some reason, my knees were killing me yesterday. I don't just mean the normal soreness that I expect to feel the day after a good CLX workout, I mean downright painful. I also just felt totally run down. I don't know…
  • Marianne, I just did Burn It Off & Recharge for you :) I'm sure you had a lot more fun doing Turbo Jam! Even though I'm starting week 4 tomorrow, this is the first time I've had a chance to do Burn It Off, and I'm just happy to be done with it! I hope I was just having an "off" day, because it took all I had just to get…
  • Wow, you know Chalene is motivating when instead of sleeping in as late as I usually do on Saturdays, I got up this morning and did Burn Circuit 3! I was supposed to do it yesterday, but my plans got screwed up. Depending on how the rest of the day goes, I may still try to do Fire 45 EZ (Turbo Fire) tonight. I think I like…
  • Well, I'm done with Burn Intervals for another week. That is such an intense workout for me, I really feel like I've gotten over the "hump" in my workout week once I'm done with that one! I still have to stop a few times to briefly catch my breath (burpees I loathe you!), but for me, just getting through a 47 minute…
  • Well, I'm back, and I survived my long weekend at my in-laws. Despite all of my FIL's delicious, anything-but-healthy cooking, I didn't gain a pound! I'm so shocked! I need to update my ticker to show that I've lost at least 1 lb. in the two weeks that I've been doing CLX, which is pretty good considering that I haven't…
  • Your progress is so impressive, and thanks so much for sharing and inspiring those of us just getting started! If you've made that much progress in just 30 days, I can't imagine where you'll be by the end of the lean phase (since that's supposedly where the "magic" happens)! This is why I need to take "before" pictures…
  • mmtiernan said: "Also, you don't have to do cardio on lifting days. I know that a lot of people do it because they see on their HRM that they didnt burn that many calories during their weight lifting routine so they think they need to throw in some extra cardio to make up for it. That's really not true because with weight…
  • Tell us what part you are up to: Starting week 2 of Burn Phase Your reason for doing CHX: To hopefully boost my metabolism and tighten up my entire body One thing you'd like to see happen by the time you're done with the 90 days: Lower my body fat to 27% or less (31.5% right now) Mini-challenge for the week: Just to get…
  • Hi! I'm a first-time poster, but I've been using the site & lurking the boards for a few months now. I just started the Burn Phase this week, and I LOVE it! I started with 30DS, but I kinda lost interest after a while, and I definitely didn't push myself as hard as I have this week with Chalene! I completed Burn Circuit 2…
