A little background about myself, I am 5'3'' and currently 145 lbs, 26 years old. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism recently and that explained the 40 lb gain over the last 4 years. I have been very active most of my life, with the exception of the last 3 years during my struggle through graduate school! In summation, I went from being super fit and exercising 2-3 hours 6 days a week, to only walking my dog for an hour a day. I purchased P90X and have done 2 rounds, but I did not follow the nutrition plan, thus I got stronger but only lost 10 lbs. I have now purchased Chalean Extreme and I am very pleased. I am still a beginner for all intensive purposes, in fact I used Wii Fitness Test and the program placed my fitness level at 3 stars, thus novice to moderate fitness level. Chalean Extreme is perfect for me. It's perfect pace and she really explains the proper form for each exercise and gives a reference point in terms of the amount of weight to use. I would highly recommend it, this program is doable and one can feel that with time you'd have perfect technique.
P90X is excellent, and I can't wait to be fit enough to use it and get excellent results, but the truth is, I am not ready for the program, although I can keep up. I went from doing 0 pull-ups to doing 2 without a chair, so for someone still overweight, I am very pleased. Chalean on the other hand is no too long, thus one can fit into a tight schedule, and see results. I would still add 30 minutes of walking on a TreadClimber to see better results.
