Question about Chalean Extreme - Page 2

Love it! To me, Push phase alone would have been worth $50.

I do think it's worthwhile for her to skim the threads on back issues and use caution there. As much as I love CLX, no workout is perfect.

Only sort of ... IIRC, Chalene does the same little cardio routine at the beginning of each CLX workout, but then goes into a more body-part-specific warmup with light weights; the exercises vary depending on the workout you're doing. And it's not the same warm-up clip at the beginning of each workout -- it's filmed as part of the workout; she just uses pretty much the same moves every time.

I agree that this is a great price for the set.

I'm a CLX graduate. I liked the first two phases of CLX, though when I did them I was in rather poor shape. Your daughter will probably like them, though she might find them easy after doing S90. Chalene is a very good and entertaining instructor and she's not over the top in this series. I found her rather motivating.

The Lean phase, however, I'll never do again. Did...Not...Like.

So for $50, it's a good deal.

For $50, go for it! CLX is one of the few rotations I have finished. I loved all three phases, but I also added on when I could, because the workouts are short. And also used other cardio too. If she is ambitious, she can always mix & match with S90!

Another option for the warm-up on CLX is she could just do her own warm-up, stretching, etc. I sometimes just jump on the elliptical or treadmill for a warm-up if I don't feel like doing the one included in a system.

I think CLX is definitely worth it. I"m going to do a CLX rotation subbing in Tabata Inferno and Cardio Challenge from S90.
