Just this week, my wife and I got our hands on a copy of Chalean Extreme which is Trainer Chalene Johnson’s newest program. Owning several Beachbody programs I must say I was impressed with this one right out-of-the-box. The packaging, books, and DVDs are all high-quality. The entire program will fit nicely on a shelf since all the books, and the holder for the DVDs all fit nicely into their own little container no bigger than an inch and a half wide.
The first disk is broken into three sections. Burn Basics, Band Basics, and Healthy Eats and Kitchen Make Over. Burn basics and Band Basics are Chalene going over each one of her moves you will be doing during her workout. They are very well done; she takes the time to point out all the important points of how to do each move properly. They are definitely worth watching because the nature of this workout is far different than other workout routines you may have done in the past. I would recommend if you order this program that you take the time to watch disk one even if you are very experienced at working out.
The next part of this disk is my favorite. It's titled, "Healthy Eats and Kitchen Makeover” In this section Chalene takes you inside her very own kitchen. She teaches you how to set up your kitchen to make it easier to follow her Chalean Extreme Fat Burning Guide. She starts out by pointing out some tools you should have on hand to make following the diet easier. She also points out the fact that just consuming a hundred extra calories a day by the end of the year can make you can gain as much as 10 pounds. The next part of kitchen makeover Chalene moves onto your refrigerator. She points out fact that a Cornell University study showed that, “Over 90% of food, we consume we do so mindlessly.” This basically means were eating things simply because it’s been placed in front of us. Chalene, points out the fact that supermarkets know this she says it's why they place the food they want us to buy at eye level. So Chalene has you do something really smart and simple. She moves some things around. So that your refrigerator is better set up for you to grab the healthy things, rather than the things you should be passing on. Next she moves on to pointing out several healthy alternatives to choices we might normally make. Next she moves on to probably our biggest problem area for most people are cupboards and pantry. She helps show you how most people have several unhealthy, processed foods in their pantry and shows you what she keeps in her pantry for her family. She points out several healthy alternatives. This way your food closet can be something that's healthy and inviting for the whole family rather than a closet full of temptations and unhealthy snacks. The last part of this disk Chalean Johnson has her family join her to show you some of her favorite healthy dishes they all like to make.
In closing Chalene shows how simple and easy it can be to create quick and healthy meals and snacks for the entire family. I think this disk was a great addition to this program. It will deftly help you make your Diet easier, as well as aiding in the overall success of your fitness program. So far from what I have seen from disk one Chalean Extreme took the first pitch and knocked it out of the park. I am looking forward to seeing if the workouts are just as good.
