Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hi Carolyn, I'm in the same boat as you - I'm sure I'd like ChaLEAN, but I have way too many vids to try first, so it's not really on my list until like 2010, LOL! For what it's worth, I'm with you on the bands vs. heavy weights thing. When I had my bowflex several years ago, I ran into this problem. I bought my powerblocks after I had my bowflex (BF), and would often use them for bis, tris, chest, etc - in addition to the BF. As I progressed and needed more and more resistance, the BF exercises started to get really uncomfortable - esp compared to using dumbbells. So I sold it after only a year or so. Though it was a great learning tool for me, if overpriced! Using heavier bands for certain exercises reminds of that uncomfortable feeling. Do you already have some weight plates? If so, you might want to look for some dumbbell handles that use those - as that may be an inexpensive solution for heavier dumbbells.
