Has anyone used ChaLEAN Extreme? Does it hurt your knees?

Prior to becoming pregnant, I did P90x on a daily basis. I did the lean routine schedule, because I found Plyo too hard on my knees. I did get really sick of Tony Horton's jokes. so I am looking for another workout that could be done during nap-time, and wouldn't be hard on my knees. Any suggestions if ChaLEAN Extreme is too extreme on the knees?

No, it does not hurt your knees. I LOVE ChaLean Extreme! I am doing it now and will finish it on the 27th. What I really like about it is she has someone who does modifications in every circuit in case you need them. I love doing weights and there are 2 days of cardio. She also has someone on there that uses the resistance bands that come with the program if you don't have weights. Are you planning to do them with a friend or in a challenge group?

I am on week 2 of the first month. I love it! and I love Chalene Johnson and all her workouts I always go back to her programs. I did P90X and found Tony Horton annoying. It won't hurt your knees as long as you use proper form, which she is really good about explaining.

I haven't heard of ChaLean but I'm looking for something new. I did Insanity and loved it and loved Shaun T but I only got to day 28 and had to return it unexpectedly to the woman I barrowed it from. I did Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred in February. It's effective but she's a you know what and I found her incredibly annoying and had to mute her and turn on music. I've just been doing Zumba and Pilates since then but I'm looking to get back the intensity.

Dawn, you would love Chalene! She is great and a great motivator! I am finishing up ChaLean Extreme now. I love how the 90 days is broken down into 3 different circuits and you work on building muscle. It has cardio 2 of the 5 days.

Thanks. Can't wait to get back into working out. Hope I'm not too exhausted from midnight feedings!
