Using Resistance Bands with ChaLEAN Extreme


resistance-bands-complete-i2It is a common misconception that resistance bands aren’t as effective as hand weights. People who believe this obviously haven’t tried using resistance bands and used them correctly. As you will see in ChaLEAN Extreme, high quality resistance bands when used correctly can offer results directly comparable with hand weights.

 

One of the first things you will notice when you do ChaLEAN Extreme is there is always someone on the DVD’s using resistance bands rather than weights. This is so that those of us who would rather not deal with lugging around hand weights know exactly how to get the same great workout. Throughout the workouts, Chalene makes a point to remind you that resistance bands will give you a good workout and will work your muscles the way you need them to.

 

High quality resistance bands come in a variety of resistance levels, ensuring that you always have the weight you need for every move. With someone on the ChaLEAN Extreme workouts showing you resistance band adaptations throughout, you are sure to get the same workout as those using handweights.

 

With ChaLEAN Extreme you are expected to “lift heavy” and lift slow. This means don’t be afraid to use a higher resistance with your bands. In order to get the same results, you want the same effort as with hand weights. Keep an eye on the adaptations as shown on the workouts and you will be certain to gain excellent results with the ChaLEAN Extreme system.

    HI,
    I was curious are the resistance bands an option for every single dvd used in this program? Including the supplemental dvds not included in the Burn, Push, and Lean phases? Thanks

    Hi Caroline,

    You can definitely use the resistance bands instead of free-weights. You may find that in some instances the bands are even a better option. In some exercises you may find having a few free-weights may suite your needs a little better.

    As a single mother of two on a fixed income, I am in the worst shape of my life at 5′3″ & 138 lbs. I’m dying to do something here that I can truly manage. Is the diet regime one that I can feasibly purchase AND feed my kids (preteen & preschoolers)? For that matter, is it safe for my preteen daughter to participate in? A survivor of a violent crime, I wish to strengthen my body and mind so that I will feel confident & in control again, while teaching my children about strength and knowing what your body can do….

    Thanks,
    Pamela

    Hello Pamela,

    It’s obvious that you are already a superwoman in my book so the least I can do is get you started with some tips for saving money and time on this program. This link here will give you a couple of ideas of how to save money on your grocery list.

    As far as your daughters are concerned, I would recommend letting them join in with your supervision. Using weights at that age is not really recommended, but following along with the workouts would be a great activity to share with your kids.

    Keep us posted Pamela.
