I’m 2 weeks through ChaLEAN Extreme. Today was Burn Circuit 1. I went heavier on all the weights this time. I did manage to get at least 10 reps of each exercise, but there were a couple that were super tough (like the Chest Fly).
I really like this program so far. Chalene is a great motivator and really pushes you to push hard! I’m almost always in a state of mild soreness, which is probably a good thing. I’ll be taking my measurements and Day 30 pics on June 9th! So stay tuned.
Some info on the weights I use: I bought Reebok Speed Pac adjustable dumbbells at Target. They were on sale for $59 each. It seems a bit pricey but it’s a good investment. The weights go in 5-lb increments from 5 – 25 lbs. It would be more expensive to buy them all separately. If you can afford it, Chalene uses Bowflex Selecttech Dumbbells, which go up to 52 lbs each and have a lot of variation in the amount of weight. But those run about $400/ pair.
If you have any questions about the program, please shoot me an e-mail! I’d love to help! fitfoodie@beachbodycoach.com

those weights look pretty cool I think I need to invest in something like that to step it up from my little hang weights!
I love weights like that… definitely a good investment!
I use Powerblocks for ChaLEAN Extreme. They also go up to 50lbs, but are somewhat cheaper than the SelectTechs. They’re an odd-looking shape, but they work very well!
