I definitely got stronger doing CLX. And it made me love push ups! I've never done STS so I can't compare but CLX did give me the confidence to try out other comprehensive/rotation-based lifting programs. I am thinking of buying STS at some point. Right now, I am doing my second rotation of CLX.

This is the second time I've started a CLX rotation. Yes, I've noticed strength gains with CLX (just finished the Burn phase...last summer I got through the third week of push and then just switched to something else altogether...yes, it was strange). My eating is less than stellar, but a friend noted I looked like I'd lost weight. There's not so much dread with CLX...the heat is draining the life out of me, but I always think: well, it's ONLY a little over 30 minutes long...
ETA: I've never done STS, but have been working out consistently for about seven and a half years now...

Hey thanks, all! This has been VERY informative. I did not want to get my hopes up for results that would not happen given I do workout with Cathe and Amy.
I guess with CLX, the idea is to put it all out there for the 30ish minutes - go all out. I recall doing Shred back in Jan/feb. Nothing really happen at first but I read a thread here and someone said (I think woodie, but not sure) that she was using considerably heavier weights than Jillian (10s and 12s). Well, I tried that and went ALL OUT with the cardio and I got results of losing a couple of pounds and leaning up, especially in the abs. Using 3's and 5's was not going to do it. So, I guess if I plunge into CLX, my focus has to be different than with my longer Cathe's. Hopefully, at the end of August the heat won't continue to drain the life out of us. |

I lost 20lbs with CLX. I still consider it my best fitness purchase ever. This was my 1st time doing heavy lifting and actually completing a rotation. So, I think the style of training along with the consistency really worked for me. But, whenever someone asks me about short, effective workouts, I always recommend CLX.

I lost 15 lbs doing CLX. My sister lost 15 lbs doing it too. I still have about 15 lbs to go. My sister on the other hand does not need to lose another pound and looks great. She is cut. I love the short workouts. It's the heaviest I have ever lifted. I cannot compare to Cathe because I have not done her workouts. I can say that people commented that I look thinner and I am proud of my accomplishment. I love CLX.
