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.

Tracking Your Progress with ChaLEAN Extreme

cha2When you begin the ChaLEAN Extreme program you are obviously looking for results. Perhaps you have some serious weight to lose or maybe you are at your ideal weight but want to transform those pounds from flab to muscle. Whatever the goals, you will see serious results with the ChaLEAN Extreme program. It was designed to give you the transformation you are looking for.  Tracking your fitness goals and results is vital in keeping motivation high. Whatever program you are doing, knowing where you come from and how that compares to where you are now can be a big push on days when you are feeling less than motivated about a workout. With ChaLEAN Extreme you are given several resources to track your progress, ensuring not only a motivational high but also complete and accurate measurements of your progress overall.

 

The first way ChaLEAN Extreme will have you measure your progress is by testing your body fat with an included body fat caliper. While pounds are important to some of in the quest for a fit body, it is important to remember that while your body is changing, you can see major improvements sometimes with little movement on the scale. This is because muscle is more tightly compacted. What I mean is 20 pounds of muscle looks a whole lot better, and leaner, than 20 pounds of fat. The included body fat caliper and instructions will ensure you know where those pounds are coming from and will even account for body composition changes on weeks when the scale doesn’t move.

 

In the Muscle Burns Fat Guidebook, you are also given a spot for recording your body measurements. ChaLEAN Extreme will show you exactly where to measure and gives you a place to record those measurements. Again, similar to the body fat caliper, using measurements allows you to see changes when the pounds aren’t dropping off. While your clothes are fitting looser and looser, your measurements will also decline and give you a great sense of accomplishment.

 

Last but certainly not least is the ever popular before and after photos. Again, ChaLEAN Extreme will tell you exactly how to take the best before and after shots. You will have no problem wondering how to stand or where to hold your arms. In the guidebook, there is also a place for your photos. These pictures will become a source of great motivation as you embark on the program, so don’t be ashamed of them now.

 

Tracking your progress with this program, like all others, is important. Of course you will know you are making strides as your jean size decreases, but these three methods of measurement will leave no doubt in your mind. ChaLEAN Extreme will deliver big results and the means by which to measure them too.

Lifting Heavy with ChaLEAN Extreme

gym_weightsThere is a common myth out there in the fitness world, running particularly rampant with women. That myth is: lifting heavy weights will bulk you up. This is simply not true. One only need to look at Chalene Johnson and some of the subjects from the ChaLEAN Extreme test group to know that lifting heavy will slim you down, decrease your overall size, but leave you with sculpted, defined muscles. It’s time the lifting heavy myth was shattered and when you embark on the ChaLEAN Extreme program, you can be the person to do that shattering. 

In the ChaLEAN Extreme program you are encouraged to lift heavy weights. You want to choose weights that allow your muscles to reach failure in 10-12 reps (in the burn phase), and 6-8 reps (in the Push Phase). This means the weights you use are probably heavier than you are accustomed to. The reason for heavier weights is not bigger size but bigger results.

 

Lifting Heavy Does Not Make You Bulky!

 

Ladies, it’s time you let go of this common misconception. If you believed in the past that heavy weights meant bulky, masculine muscles, you were probably lifting sets of 15-20 reps, seeking “long lean” muscles. Reality check: women don’t have the same chemical makeup as men and we will not look any more masculine for lifting heavy. Check out the ladies in ChaLEAN Extreme or the photos in the guidebook of the test group. These ladies have transformed their bodies into athletic, but feminine forms. They are all smaller than they were before beginning the program, not bigger!

 

ChaLEAN Extreme will help you lift heavy to lose fat. Losing fat is why the majority of people will buy this program. They want to reveal the muscle definition they have under the layers of flab and this is the perfect program to do that. As you build definition, your metabolism kicks into high gear, burning more fat every day, even while you are at rest.

 

Men and women alike will see dramatic fat loss if they follow the ChaLEAN Extreme plan. Women will uncover a sleek, defined, and muscular physique. Men will lose the fat around their middles and chisel out the chest, arms, back, and entire body of their dreams.

 

Lifting heavy does not make you bigger, lifting heavy makes you better!

Muscle Burns Fat! Chalean Extreme’s Motto and Guidebook

muscleburnsfat1You will hear it over and over again and you will begin saying it yourself while you push through final reps, “Muscle burns fat!”. This single phrase is the backbone of the Chalean Extreme program and also the name of the vibrant, information-packed guidebook that comes with the system.Chalene Johnson created the Chalean Extreme system when the metabolism of her thirties wasn’t what it was in her twenties. Her research and studies into the slowing metabolism and kicking it back into gear led her to try strength training at a whole new level. What she found was that by increasing her muscle mass, she was able to regain that super-powered metabolism.

 

The science behind the phrase “muscle burns fat” is quite simple. Our body uses calories to survive. Calories give us energy and provide fuel for our organs, muscles, and other tissues. Muscle is more high maintainence than fat. If you increase the amount of muscle on your body, you burn through more calories, even while resting. This means that more muscles equal a higher metabolism and serious fat-burning capabilities. Chalean Extreme applies this science to ramp up your body’s metabolism and get you lean and fit.

More Muscle=Higher Metabolism

In addition to being the backbone of the system, Muscle Burns Fat is also the title of the guidebook that will walk you through Chalean Extreme and tell you everything you need to know. This book isn’t like the teeny, low quality pamphlet guides you get with some programs. This is a glossy, full-color book packed with over 90 pages of information.

 

Inside the book is an introductory letter from Chalene Johnson herself with the story of how the Chalean Extreme program came about. The book also contains the very important fit-test, designed to give you a reference point for your entire program and ensure you are ready to begin. Throughout the book you will hear about amazing success stories within the trial group and how many of them lost over 40% of their body fat.

 

A body transforming system isn’t complete without progress photos and the Muscle Burns Fat book shows you exactly how to take them and where to keep them. Helpful tips on reducing the likelihood of injury and summaries of each of the workouts are included as well. You will learn about the three phases of the program and the Chalean Extreme Body Makeover Calendars outline which workout to do each day to get the most out of those phases.

 

With solid science and a helpful guide walking you through the program, “Muscle Burns Fat!” will likely become your own personal mantra as you experience the life-changing transformation possible with Chalean Extreme.
