your initial burn will be small, but your overall burn for the day is HUGE b/c this program is designed to help your burn calories ALL DAY LONG. I tested it with my bodymediafit. I, too, had small initial burns, but I kept burning high all day...On days I don't workout I burn about 2400 cals. On days I lift weights it's…

Ive done both and I'd go with P90X. I also LOVE ChaLean Extreme. I just wouldn't follow the low calorie guidelines she gives on the nutrition plan. You are lifting heavy weights--gotta eat.

I'd eat more if you plan on working out.

I have a body media fit and a polar ft7 HRM. Both are extremely accurate. HOWEVER, the body media fit will give you a lower calorie burn INITIALLY than the HRM but at the end of the day the overall calorie burn is the same. I was using both but now just wear my body media fit. It's an amazing device and well worth the…

makes them APPEAR Longer...

do whatever you want to do. I'm just telling you what has worked for me. I did tae bo for years and just became a smaller "skinny fat" version of myself. I started lifting weights and I became toned and defined. It may or may not help you lose weight. Not everyone is the same. If you eat too far into a deficit you may not…

No. stupid question.

YOU have to EAT along with these compound moves. Find out what your TDEE is and eat MORE than that during your bulk. Eating clean will be beneficial. Focus on hitting your proteins and the rest should fall into place.

If you're a woman, lifting heavy won't make you big, but very long and lean. You don't have the testosterone like men do in order to get 'big". If you get bulky it's b/c there is FAT not being lost yet as you build muscle. It take a while to balance out. Lift heavy. And yes, tae bo will help you lose weight if you lift…

I've been told I look like Jennifer Aniston and Christina Applegate. LOL

Okay, I'm not a "baker" so what are the steps to making this? do I just throw all of those indigence in a bowl, mix, bake? Or are there certain steps to follow?

use butternut squash!!

what she said :) :) :)

cardio improves cardio vascular endurance.

agreed. Some people don't mind having loose skin hanging off their bones and being "skinny fat". I prefer to have muscle and be fit. Lift Heavy. Squat heavier. Eat More. :P

find the group eatmore2weighless!!! they've changed my life.

can't go without: bra, sports bras, athletic shorts will never wear: skinny jeans. HELL NO

Fat does NOT turn into muscle. You build muscle and LOSE FAT. However, if you are new to working out, you will build muscle before losing fat or lose muscle and fat at the same time. It's hard to build muscle and lose fat at the same time. Give your program at least 6-8 weeks before flipping out. It takes time.

Don't feel bad, I've been at cut for like 2 weeks now and I haven't dropped any weight. My jeans are still tight. I'm still frustrated. I guess we just keep pushing forward and trying our best. At the very least, we are no longer starving and we are healthier. <3

I just blow dry mine and if it's a little oily the next day I use a little baby powder in it to dry it up. :) works like a charm and I can go 3 days without washing my hair. #winning

I love ChaLean Extreme wayyyyy better than p90x. I def. feel more accomplished after 40 min of CLX than 70 min. of p90x. My hamstring have never been firmer.

I didn't put on really ANY weight from resent until week 6, which is when I felt myself inflate big time. weird indeed.

at least I have a mutant friend. LOL yes, I drink over a gallon of water a day. as far as sodium..I normally keep it under 2000 g but there were a few days this week when I drank beer and ate pizza one night to celebrate a friends birthday. I was MUCH more swollen around those days but the bloat from that has gone and I'm…

yep. did reset for roughly 8 weeks. I started heavy lifting about 3.5 weeks ago so that COULD be what's causing all my drama. I avoided jeans up until last week. I was fine until I put jeans on LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ughhhhhhh

Mannnn!!!! :( I feel like a mutant

eat more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EatMore2WeighLess

Thanks for the responses! Yesterday I could have eaten my entire arm LOL! I am hoping today is better and think it will be knowing it's a normal part of the process. :) But seriously, it's how I felt at 1200 cals LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how crazy!!!!

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

boxing and kick boxing are my favorite!!!! :) :) You should invest in some basic tae bo to see if you like it!
