what to do with lost week?
I lost all motivation this last week. My life is in total chaos. I go from not wanting to eat to wanting to stuff my face. I have no interested in exercising.... I know I just need to do it. And this is all a downer. So my reason for posting here is: I was on my last week of Lean when this has happened. I missed the whole…

body weight vs lifting heavy-how often?
I need some help in understanding rest periods with lifting. My problem is that I see and understand why it's important to have rest periods between lifting days. But then I see a post that says that body weight exercises are great. I'm finishing ChaLean Extreme in 2 weeks and want to get into lifting but I want to build…

circuit training- what is it (CLX ? too)
What is circuit training? I get the idea that it's not as good as lifting heavy but I'm not sure I get the difference. I saw a post a few days ago that said ChaLean Extreme was circuit training and in doing research on this, one website said that circuit training was short burst of moderate resistance followed quickly by…

CLX and Insanity combo
I love, love, love CLX. I don't think I would have ever gotten into exercise as much as i did if it weren't for my lifting. However, I am not seeing the results that I had hope to. I am not losing weight. I have taken measurements and they are going slowly down, but I want more!! LOL So I am thinking of doing an…

CLX between phases?
Dh an I are arguing about whether there should be a rest week or just start on next phase. I didn't do the second burn it off but did fire ez55 today and was just going to start the push phase. He thinks the muscles need a break and said other BB programs have a rest week. What did you do?

Push 1 yesterday
Ouch! My biceps are feeling it today! I went heavy and loved it. :) On another note did anyone have measurements that went up? The first three weeks of burn I went down but that last week I had gains?

Women who lift
I started lifting almost 5 weeks ago following CheLean Extreme. I love it. I love lifting and want to continue. I have read all the many, many threads that say women don't get bulky. So I need some motivation because I look at the muscle I am building and think--" Holy Cow I am going to look bigger than a lot of guys." My…

Dumbbells only?
I would love to start this. I have the book. I was hoping I would be able to do this all at home since I don't have a good gym close. We currently have just dumbbells. Can i do the workout with just them? I hope to get a barbell soon but even then I won't have a squat rack. Do I need to give up hope of doing it at home?

which Chalene program?
My hubby has had great results with Insanity and he has moved on to P90X. Looking at how great his results are, he has convinced me to try something. BUT I'm just not up to doing either of those 2 so he suggested one of Chalene's programs. He thinks ChaLEAN Extreme would be great, but I'm not convinced I can do it. LOL I'm…

adding protien without fat or carbs?
I've been tracking for a very short period of time and have found that I can't get the right ratio. I'm not getting near enough protein and going over in both fat and carbs. How can I add significant protein without increasing either of the others tremendously? Are there those that are willing to share their food journals…
