Introduction to ChaLEAN Extreme

The ChaLEAN Extreme Fitness System is not your ordinary system and this much is easily apparent from the moment you visit their website. Created btinyy a woman named Chalene Johnson, it professes to bust all of the fitness myths that you have ever come across and give you the real treatments that you will need in order to be successful with your weight loss goals.

According to the ChaLEAN Extreme Fitness System, there are two major myths involved with the exercise industry today that harm more people than they actually help. The first of these two myths is that cardio work is the most effective solution for people that would like to burn fat . According to Johnson, this is a complete myth. She states early on that creating muscle is the best way to burn fat and looking at her trim figure on the first page should illustrate that point in startling clarity to you from the moment you log onto the website.

The second myth that Johnson singles out on page one of her website is that the only end result from lifting heavy weights is that your body will become bulky from the large muscles. According to Johnson however, since muscles can help you burn fat, you actually become lean through lifting weights because you are gaining lean muscle that at the same time is helping you get rid of more fat. According to Johnson, the type of weight lifting exercises you will do in ChaLEAN Extreme will help you lose weight and maintain a trim figure in no time flat.

The Good Things about ChaLEAN Extreme

The main positive item that can be brought to your attention regarding the ChaLEAN Extreme Fitness System is that it is based on facts that health scientists have known for years. When you create more muscle mass in the body, you are creating conditions within your body that breed a faster metabolic system. This faster metabolic system burns through calories a lot quicker and that is where the weight loss aspect of the system comes into play. If you were walking or jogging you would have to go a long way in order to lose the same amount of calories from your system that you can lose through the performance of a good heavy weight lifting workout. And once you have completed the workout, the muscles you gain will continue to burn fat for you because your metabolism will be maintained in high form through successive workouts that you complete. Overall, the theory behind the system is quite sound.

Another good thing about ChaLEAN Extreme is that it comes with a lot of support. Not only do you get a wealth of information on the actual three phases of the circuit workout that forms the core of your weight loss training, but you also get a lot of information about how to diet in a way that will contribute to your weight loss success rather than hinder it. The customer support line on ChaLEAN Extreme is also quite impressive, allowing you to get a lot of information about the product before you actually have to order it.  We also recommend using our weigh loss and fitness forum for support.

The Bad Things about ChaLEAN Extreme

There are not that many bad things that can be said about ChaLEAN Extreme. Perhaps the most obvious one will occur to you once you have had the time to browse through the website for a few minutes. It all seems good and as previously mentioned the theory behind the workout is sound, but at the same time the website reads more like a marketing website than a health website. The testimonials seem overeager and while that can certainly be evidence of a product that works extremely well, it can also be the sign of internet marketing at its most convincing. People that have tried other online weight loss programs only to see them fall short of achieving the results promised on the main page of the website will recognize the tone on this website and that in turn might lead to them having second thoughts about actually making the purchase. This is really more cosmetic than substantive however and should not form the basis for you rejecting ChaLEAN Extreme should you choose to do so.

Another disadvantage of this product is that it involves lifting heavy weights pretty much right off the bat. Heavy weight lifting is the hardest weight loss activity to do well because the line between creating tension for muscle building purposes and hurting yourself physically is a very fine one. Even with the best instructions it is possible to mess up. There is nothing that can be done with this disadvantage however as it is inherent to the nature of the workout type advertised. Be sure to acknowledge at the same time that the extra effort comes with extra reward before you reject this one outright.

ChaLEAN Extreme Results and Conclusion

ChaLEAN Extreme has not been out on the market very long, but already there are some positive results coming in about the product. People that were highly suspicious about the idea of weight training have now become its biggest proponents as they have slowly seen what the system has done for them. Any product that has the ability to take a completely pessimistic person and turn them into an avid believer has to be good and the fact that ChaLEAN Extreme has done this multiple times over in such a short time means that it is most definitely one of the more special weight loss products currently available in the online weight loss market.

Weight loss is ultimately a result-based industry. At the end of the day, nothing else matters. You can have a product that looks bad and is sold bad but as long as it works, nobody will really care. On the other hand, you can have a product like ChaLEAN Extreme that looks good and is sold with full customer support that also works and once again it is likely that few people will really care. The bottom line is that ChaLEAN Extreme works and it works well as long as you follow the instructions to the letter. Everything else is just window dressing. It is attractive window dressing to be sure, but in the end it is just icing on the cake of success that is the ChaLEAN Extreme Fitness System.

3. Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 21-05-2010 08:30 I have had the program since it came out. I have had tremendous results in the shoulders, arms and abs. I also mix it up with cardio and Turbo Jam. I have weights from 3-20lbs and a set of resistance bands. I much prefer my weights. However, you must take care when lifting and work up slowly to the next weight by following the program. This program has only taken me so far and now, I am moving to P90X. I think this is an excellent program for moderate exercisers and people just starting out. I am able to eat almost anything and never fluctuate more than 2-3 lbs. I am 49 The workouts are shorter and anybody should be able to fit in 35 minutes!

I got hurt on the job at 18-lower back L4,L5,S1..Left Shoulder-something they called a G2 torn tissue...and left knee injury-a pulled ligament...any how I'm not a doc..that's just what they told me...but yeah, I had a good regimen that I used to do prior to the accident, now I have a hard time. I am now 32, soon to bee 33, and I am really out of shape..I can't take it any more...I'm not on meds, and did no surgeries, so my tolerance level is kinda high, but I am wondering if it is too extreme of a workout that I may actually lose my money 'cause I won't be able to utilize the product as it should be???     Khrysaliss,     I would start by asking your DOC about working out and see what recommendations they have for you before you start any fitness program, if you do decide to start ChaLEAN Extreme start slow and with light weights to make sure you do not aggravate your previous injury. If you feel any kind of specific discomfort in the area that was injured stop and reevaluate if the program is right for you. There are lots of other ways you can start building strength without the heavy weight lifting. For you it might be better to start off with a less heavy workout like Yoga. Yoga actually builds a lot of strength and is impact free. Yoga will also help you to trigger stability muscles that are used to help keep your body and spine inline. Start easy and slow do not rush into any program and listen to your body, if you feel any pain or tweaks at all stop and do not push yourself.     If you need further help feel free to message me I would love to help you out.     Chris R
