About how much room do you need to move around? I kind of wanted to get it, but I live in a dorm room... so I have very limited space.

You only need about a yoga mat's width and length of room. Even in the cardio sections, she doesn't do kicks or anything that requires a lot of moving around. You will be able to do this in a dorm room.

This is a pet-peeve of mine, so I have to comment on it first: Her name is pronounced "Shuh-leen", not "Shay-leen"... :P

I'm glad to hear that you tried p90x first, then tried Chalean Extreme and compared them. I wanted to get CE, since I'm a faithful turbo jammer and wanted to continue on with Chalene's products...I'm glad you find this one better!

Oh, one question...do you know the amount of weights for a woman that she uses?

[amiencc]

She uses anywhere from 5 to 20 lbs I believe is her max...she may use up to 25 or 30 for lower body exercises. She mentions it before each exercise, what she uses, but I can't remember her max...I believe it is 25 though.

I wish girls would understand that they can use heavier weights without worry of bulking up. Creating muscle mass, like a body builder, does not happen overnight nor is it easy to make. Even harder for a woman unless she uses steroids. So don't be afraid of heavy weights.

@sassyelnumerouno Probably hers if you are a female.

@SupaaDork (who replied to @Resistoon) - Not to mention that those super-muscular women have worked specifically to that end for several years. Unless you're willing to live in the gym, consume massive amounts of protein, and maybe take a little something to manipulate your hormone levels, you don't have anything to worry about it.

im stuck im not sure if i should buy chalene x or p90x i do love her though she is so motivational the sec i see her face i stop complaining and start smiling "good attitude"

im glad you compared the 2 i might just get hers though, so i can support her im hooked on tj id rather do upper body and lower body at the same time thanks this review really7helped

[SupaaDork]

@Resistoon EXACTLY. The myth that women will bulk up if they lift heavier weights is just that, a myth. There are a few exceptions, of course, depending on body structure and genetics and such, but in general, women won't bulk up to the same level as men will, simply due to the fact that women don't naturally have the testosterone required to do so.

This sounds great! I was thinking of buying the workout, but I have bad knees so I can't do lunges, squats, jumping jacks, etc. without crunching and/or pain.

I am so glad that this works for you. Keep up the good work!

[st2675]

How is your workout coming along?? Have you seen great results??I need to view more videos about her  program.

[4kats]

Gotta agree. Its dependent on the type of body you have etc. I bulk easily if not careful. With Chalean I did not but my secret was I did the program with another called T-tapp.

[magenlabelle]

i dont know if i agree with this...im halfway done chalean extream and for sure have been lifting heavy. i can say that i have extreamily bulked up i gained inches on my arms and am looking masculine....

[MyCameos66]

This workout sounds great and I am so glad that you are doing so well with it. I wish I could do this workout, but I have bad knees. I can't do lunges, squats, running, or jumping jacks. I think I will have to just stick to Turbo Jam.

2 years using the same video! WOW! I can't even do 2 months! I jump from P90 to Turbo to Tae Bo and Hollywood Trainer and the list goes on!!! Jillian is great too ;-)
