Muscle Burns Fat.

The ChaLEAN/Chalene Extreme program is based on that simple statement. The entire program is developed to increase your muscle mass in order to boost metabolism. Will that make you bulky and masculine looking? No. If you are a woman, there is a very slim chance that you will develop masculine looking muscle mass without hormonal supplements.

Instead, “muscle burns fat” refers to the simple fact that a body with greater muscle mass has a higher metabolism. This means, the more muscle you have, the easier it will be to lose fat. By putting muscle on with the Chalene Extreme program, you are creating great definition and whittling away at the squishy stuff.

Lifting heavy weights slowly, according to Chalene Extreme, will maximize your muscle gains, giving you greater results in a shorter amount of time. So when you begin this program don’t expect to set any speed records with your weight lifting reps. Slowing down allows each muscle to be engaged and it also means you will reach muscle fatigue with less reps (definitely a good thing).

Expect major changes when you commit to three months with Chalene Extreme. Johnson states that by following her program you can expect to lose up to 60% of your body fat within those three months. If that’s not motivation, I don’t know what is. So, whether you spell it ChaLEAN Extreme or Chalene Extreme, the results are the same. Put in 3 months of hard work and see a lifetime of fitness goals come to fruition!
