Love all your content; it’s so helpful and motivating. I’m 65 and lifting heavy 3x week and yoga 3x week which is building muscle and helping with my adrenals (I have hypothyroidism and hypoglycemia). So keep them coming! I’m in the best shape since my 30’s and loving myself all over again!
This is so awesome! Keep it up!! 😍
That’s the inspo I needed to get back to adding Yoga again!
That’s fantastic! How long did it take for you to see results?
How heavy are you lifting? Just an idea. I realize you can’t start out heavy but it’s helpful to know this . I will look into your phase program.
Strength training is vital to longevity. What made me a believer is all of my grandparents died of inactivity. Why? They were scared to get outside and walk because they’d fallen and couldn’t get themselves back up. They lacked the muscle to do so. Although they lived to see their early nineties, I’m convinced years would’ve been added had they not lost the majority of their muscle. Thanks you, Chalene, for the content. 😅
I couldn’t agree more! You never too old to start building strength and muscles! 💪🏼
Yessss! I’m trying to focus on legs and glutes. This was spot on for helping me use this at the gym! I get to hear your voice in my head lol
I am so happy this helped!!
I just started this in December based on one of your recent videos: 3 days legs and I love it! Listening to my body what workout it needs. Just need to up my zone 2 cardio!
You go girl with those knee squats!! 🔥 leg routine! Thank you for sharing, I did legs early this am!
Love Leg Days!!
Thanks Chalene! Loving all your guidance! I identify 200% with the fact that I used to be a gym rat and ballerina and now I am 48 with full time job and zero energy for something I used to love! Question for you, I know squats are the hoy grail, how do you suggest I manage with slight knee pain? Thanks again! You are helping a lot of us ladies regain our belief! 🎉
I literally just finished your Turbo Fire 55 class with wrist weights on my legs. I alternate using them on both my upper and lower body. That is as you said “My Soulmate Workout”. I do it all the time because it’s my favourite. I weight lift and do both upper and lower body 2 times a week.
I just came across your channel. I’m 55 this year, you are such an inspiration…..you got me back into my strength training….thank you ❤
Oh, this is so awesome thank you
So I am 43 and have been going through the same transition from running and cardio to strength training. I’ve gained 6lbs of muscle so far! 🎉 I have heard of the 30/30/30 plan where you consume 30 grams of protein, within 30 minutes of waking, followed by 30 minutes of zone 2 cardio. I am considering doing this before I hit the gym to strength train. (I do legs and glutes three times a week, upper body twice a week, and a run or bike ride on Saturday, rest Sunday). I have always fasted until 12pm and stopped eating by 8pm. My question, after this rambling lol, is this…
Is it better to do the intermittent fasting, or switch to the 30/30/30 while trying to build muscle? I have been following you since the turbo fire days and I am so grateful for EVERYTHING you do for us!!! 🫶🏻
I highly recommend that you watch the video I did on intermittent fasting. You are likely in the throes of perimenopause based on your age and intermittent fasting for my p.m. ladies is very tricky. That should break things down for you. But the 30 3030 plan can be followed on or off intermittent fasting.
@@chalenejohnson will check it out now! I must have missed that one! Thank you!
Hi chalene ,I love your content. I started doing strength training last March and I have been doing legs 3 days a week. I’m 53. Love your stuff
Wow, thank you for showing the mods for home workouts! That is SO valuable for those of us who don’t have access to a gym or heavier weights! Please do more of this 🙏
You’re so welcome!
Thank you for being real and transparent. I, too, suffered from the same self-induced leg shame. At 56 I’m feeling the most comfortable I have with my legs in years. Like you, I’ve reduced my leg cellulite; something I wasn’t sure possible. Kudos to us 50-somethings!💥🥂🔥💪
You are so welcome! 🙏🏼
Hi ( The Real) WW… Can you share what you did to improve your cellulite? Have you figured out what was the most effective thing you did? Did you do any treatments? TY
I would love to see a beginner video that focuses on form and technique and alignment – all the little tips that maximize your workout help to avoid injury and show results etc – thank you so much
will work on it!!😘
I’m 64 & always health conscious & started lifting for the past 6 months has really helped BUT I’m SO thankful for your advice, videos ~ you look ❤🙌🏻
OMG! I love this so much! Keep killing it sis!
Thank you Chalene! I would love to see a beginner workout / proper form video. I’m diving down to watch your videos. I promised myself to start weight training (at doctors encouragement as well) and you’ve been such an inspiring and “real” example and educator. Thank you for what you do and the love and passion you put into helping us all live a better life! God bless you! ❤
I’ll work on it! 💪🏼 Thank you so much for your sweet words! I love you and I mean it! God bless you too doll!
Just finished Push 2, love Push and only lift weights to your videos. Love the cardio combined with weights in Extreme as well. I really want to change my legs, so thank you.
you’re killing it! Keep it up, Heather!!
THANK YOU so much for showing us how to modify the exercise for at-home workouts! I’ve been doing Chalene Extreme for awhile and seeing some results, but I’ve been thinking about changing it up so that my workouts only focus on one particular body section, especially legs, rather than doing arms and legs in the same workout/day. I am so excited to get started with this routine, and I’ll probably re-join Phase It Up too. LOVE YOUR STUFF, CHALENE!!
You are so welcome!! Thank you so much for your support all these years! I appreciate you!
This is great! I appreciate all the at home dumbbells modifications. I also appreciate that lunges only happen 1 day a week 😂 or at least I only noticed it once. Thank you!
Love strength training. I’m 64 this year and it was you Chalene that got me going years ago with Chalene Extreme! ❤. I must say that after all these years I am finally understanding full muscle engagement thanks to Shaun Ts new program, Dig Deeper. I love how you are modifying what you are doing for home exercise. Can’t wait to learn more about your new Phase it up with the lifting component! ❤️💪
