Does anyone use CLX anymore? - Page 2

FitzFour · 04-17-12, 05:21 PM

I have done 2 full rotations of CLX, and am now doing Lean for Life. I actually had the set 3 years ago, did a rotation and sold it because I got annoyed with Chalene and thought I was bulking up. I went on to STS, P90X, you name it, and decided this sytem gave me the best results in the shortest amount of time. I couldn't live without it now!

Thanks, Sue! I really like hearing that someone has gotten use out of what I have posted here at VF.

I haven't done CLX in a long time, but I think this program is fantastic. I did it for 19 months straight and never tired of it.

I did a CLx rotation this winter and loved the results. I got a lot of definition, and the workouts were certainly doable! I used it as prep for P90x, which I'm in the midst of now, but I think it easily scales for all levels. I plan to do it again in the future.

I have seller's remorse on this one. When I had it and did it, I liked it. Then I hurt my shoulder, so I sold it. I was sure it was CLX that caused me the pain, but I've since hurt myself doing the Ballet Body Upper Body workout (and I didn't even do the planks stuff, just the weighted section), so I'm thinking it's my shoulder and not a specific workout or style of workout.

This thread has me thinking about repurchasing it

I did one rotation with CLX and loved, loved, loved it. Now that I've been doing Kettlebell workouts a lot, I'd like to do CLX again (Debbie's version) b/c I'm betting I'd be even better at it. CLX is very unique in that you can go quite heavy while being functional and doing some compound moves....

This was on my best purchase of the year list at the time I purchased it and even though I haven't done a complete rotation with it again (yet), I'm glad I have it! I know I'll use it again!

I'm doing that rotation again now, except I'm incorporating ANY cardio on my "on" weeks, not doing the HIIT (once in a while I can get one in if hubby is home to take the kids to school), and only doing Push for Tu/Th. When I did this rotation a year ago, I was able to drop a lb a week easily. I'm finding the same thing happening now!

Thanks! I'll give it a try. I've been trying to incorporate P57 into my routine, and I need to be organized about it.

It's been a while since I did it, but I just LOVED it and I think I got pretty good results from it. I've been planning to do it again this spring on a slightly shorter time frame - like two weeks per phase.

I looove it! I just started my fourth full rotation of it. I am on week 2 of the Burn phase. I also worked the individual phases into other rotations I have done. I bought it when it first came out and it is one the best money I ever spent on a fitness related purchase.

Still doing CLX and loving it! I alternate it with Weider X Factor. So far I am doing the Burn Circuit and am up to Week 4 of X Factor. I don't know if I can keep up both as the weeks go on, but I will try. If not I will start X Factor at Week 1 again and possibly alternate with CLX cardio. I agree with everyone who said Push is the best. Lean takes some getting used to but is absolutely worth doing.
