Chalean Extreme Workout Review

I’ve been lifting weights for years and I’m currently doing Insanity to get more cardio. However, my wife just bought another product by beach body named Chalean Extreme Workout. It’s like Beach Body’s Insanity except that you have to have some weights to workout with (there are alternatives to the weights though).

Before I do any type of workout program that has DVDs – I sit down and watch them, just to get the jist of how to do their exercises. Concerning Chalean’s program, the video starts out with them warming up. To tell you the truth – the moves were more like what strippers do in clubs and I told my wife there was no way in the world I was going to do the warm-ups. You’ll know it when you see it. If you feel comfortable doing these type of moves – then go for it. However, if you don’t, then go ahead and do some stretches and then jog in place for a few minutes.

I really didn’t take Chalean’s Extreme program that seriously when I first saw it (especially the workouts) – but then after the warm-ups, Chalean and her group of friends that were positioned behind her started lifting weights. Let me tell you one thing – Chalean knows how to lift weights on a professional level. Here is an example:

I know she was doing the right thing when she was performing arm curls. The way to really do this type of exercise is to do them slowly, but the clincher is not when you raise the dumbbells to your shoulders, but when you lower the weights back down to your waist. It is to be done very slowly. This is what really makes the muscle burn.

I kept watching her do exercise after exercise. She was doing everything correctly from my point of view – and she made the viewers of the video work hard. It was a truly amazing video.

The package came with eight DVDs for you to work out various muscles. If you don’t have weights at home, you can use a workout band that will work your muscles as well. There is really no difference between the two tools.

I would recommend anyone use the Chalean Xtreme Workout Program – however, consult your doctor before exercising. Also, one more thing. I want to make sure you know that there have been many questions posed to me over the past years about women lifting weights. They are concerned that they will build massive muscles. The answer to that is no. Men will develop muscles when lifting weights, but they have testosterone that bulks them up – women don’t have this chemical pumping through their veins. I think when people see women bodybuilders on television with huge muscles – they end up believing that lifting weights bulk women up as well as men. When you do see something like this, that is because the female bodybuilder is probably on a growth hormone (steroids).

Women can expect to see fat burn off while defining their muscles when using Chalean’s program. However, men can expect to gain muscle and become more ripped. You really can’t lose on this program and that’s why I’m giving it a thumbs up!
