Chalene Johnson on Weight Training
Chalene recently posted her Body Transformation story to YouTube. My first reaction was “what’s she trying to sell us now”, but in this one she isn’t selling anything. She always seems to be selling something so who knows maybe she has something in the works.
She has cut way back on cardio and is lifting heavy. She looks amazing. https://youtu.be/tdprujhsIdM

I used to go to the gym. The only machine I miss is the leg press machine. I loved that machine. My legs were in great shape back then. Of course I was 20 years younger.

I'm curious, did she film Chalean Extreme and not believe what she was selling? I loved that system and enjoy lifting heavy, but why is she now coming out and saying this? I think she is just trying to get more people to listen to her podcasts, but it is odd that she is coming out now to promote heavy lifting when she did CLX back in 2008. I agree that too much cardio is not good, especially when it is high impact. I love Turbo Jam and Turbo Kick (not so much Turbo Fire- too frantic for me) and feel that aren't too high impact and really slim the waist. I agree with ellaenchanted, I need to add in cardio as strength and muscle endurance comes easy to me. Cardio keeps things in check, however, my body can't take the high impact.

I don’t normally listen to her at all. The last time I heard anything by her was when someone posted something a few years ago. Of course it’s for self-promotion, what on social media isn’t. But it’s interesting. It is interesting to think about people who may have followed her in her BeachBody heyday years ago and bought her programs thinking they could look like her. When really it sounds like she wasn’t very happy with herself, and was doing way way more, or at least very different, than her own programs for the public (as I believe most fitness influencers actually do) and punishing her body. I think that more people starting their fitness journey, younger people, could benefit from understanding this. |

I guess I don't see the issue with someone changing their mind on what works or what they prefer.
I know my needs and, certainly my self development, has changed ...so I don't know why a trainer couldn't be afforded the same. As far as selling things, I expect that. No different than my insurance agent. Good for her continuing to exercise and taking better care of herself!

I almost didn't recognized her, she looks a bit different from the last YouTube video I watched of her a while ago. Still looking great though. I am glad she found something that works for her and seeing positive results. She cracked me up when she apologized for her CLX outfits! The boots... lol
