The ChaLean Extreme workout DVD Set is a complete weightless and exercise system that works on the basic biological fact that muscle burns fat. The more lean muscle you have, the more fat you burn. Using the ChaLean workout method you can burn up to 60 percent of your body fat in just three months and see visible results every 30 days--guaranteed.
The ChaLean DVD set comes with 15 workout that teach you the proper form and technique for the resistance moves you'll be doing in the program, whether you're using weights or bands. The Muscle Burns Fat Guidebook makes it easy to follow the program--equipped with calendars, the guidebook shows you which workout to do each day and how much weight to lift. The Fat-Burning Food Guide shows you what to eat in each phase of the training to maximize fat burning and get the most out of your workout. The Thigh Toner Band adds oomph to your lower body workout for extra toning and the Body Fat Tester measures your month-to-month fat burning progress.
- Training Phase 1--Burn: In phase one of the training, you start lifting weights to jump-start your metabolism and break down extra reserves of fat. In these moderate training workouts, you'll work your upper and then lower body, and learn how "Lean Phasing" will help you see major results every 30 days.
- Training Phase 2--Push: In phase two, ChaLean shows you how to lift heavier weights--going beyond your comfort zone--so that you will build the muscle you need to burn fat. This phase is made easier than it sounds with plenty of guidance and incredibly fast results.
- Phase 3--Lean: In phase three, new routines and dynamic moves literally melt the fat off your body. You will be blown away by the results and rewarded with a brand-new body.
- Extreme Cardio: During each phase of the training, ChaLean ignites your metabolism with super-intense cardio and strength-training routines, and then rejuvenates and lengthens your hard-working muscles with an invigorating flexibility workout.
- Core Power: Core Power helps you to shrink, tighten, and tone your tummy with two targeted abs routines for a rock-hard midsection.

This workout is great because there is a different workout for each day of the week. The weight training portion is only about 35 minutes long each - done 3 times a week and the two cardio days are a killer - interval training and you know you are burning off alot of calories. I really love the countdown clock - for each exercise, there is a clock that shows how much time is left. I have lost some body fat already - only on week 2 - although I haven't been eating as well as I should - I can only imagine how much more I could be losing if I followed the eating plan as well. Chalene is fun, motivational, and really so comfortable to listen to. And I like the slow and heavy reps - even in the 2nd week, I feel sore after each workout (and I am already in pretty good shape from before as I am a runner).
Definitely worth the money - I actually cancelled my gym membership b/c with this, I am consistently working out, unlike not being able to go the gym or not having the motivation to go.
UPDATE: I am now on week 6 of this program and went from a 28% body fat to 24% within 6 weeks, and that is without "dieting." I lost about 4 inches from my waist, 1 inch from my hips, but only 4 pounds overall. This is exactly the kind of result that I wanted - lose body fat, look leaner and tighter, and not lose muscle mass. And I still look forward to working out every day. Chalene says in the beginning that there will come a time when I will look forward to my workouts. Well, I definitely do now. And this is from me, a busy mom of 3 little kids, who is near 40.

I have to say, as an experienced exerciser who has fallen off the wagon more times than I care to mention, ChaLean Extreme was my ticket back. I was a Firm junkie up until the moment I found Turbo Jam. The Firm did not hold my interest enough to keep me working out consistently.
On February 19th of 2009, in a size 16, and tipping the scale at 183 pounds (I'm 5'1" mind you) I started Turbo Jam. On March 22nd, 20 pounds lighter already from Turbo Jamming, I started ChaLean Extreme ALONG with Turbo Jam. The reviewers before are correct in stating that you MUST add cardio. That being said... the challenge of this program is up to you! How heavy can you go? I am certainly not a beginner, and the unique twist on some of the workouts was refreshing actually. Oh, and unlike the Firm... I didn't need some gadget to do it. ChaLean Extreme isn't about tons of reps, it is about hitting failure with less reps. You move at a slow pace so it is your muscles that are lifting the weights in a controlled manner. No swinging the weights at a fast pace, or dance steps along with lifting. Focused lifting, in 3 phases. My strength increased each and every month, and I logged it daily. For example, I started bicep curls in the Burn Phase (month 1) at 10 pounds. By the end of the Lean Phase (month 3) I was curling 20 pounds. That isn't anything to sneeze at. I learned how to zero in on the muscle group I was targeting, and to make the exercise challenging... harder actually. Oh, and push ups? Forget it. Month 1 I was on my knees... Month 3... all on the toes baby! I noticed some reviewers are concerned about the music... that isn't important to me, at least not in ChaLean Extreme. Turbo Jam is a different story! The music in ChaLean Extreme is there... what it is I couldn't tell you because I never noticed it. I do know that the crew on the set of ChaLean Extreme are ALL users of the product... all REAL exercisers. No models. I talk with them on Facebook, and Twitter, and have even taken a class from one of the crew... Chalene's sister Jenelle. Nothing fake about it... and they are in great shape!
I have my pictures posted on my profile on the Team Beachbody website to prove the results. (reneekicksfat is my profile name there) I am now 52 pounds lighter, and in a size 4. I am ripped, and I continue to use ChaLean Extreme, as well as Turbo Jam.
Will you get results? It depends on your body, and how you incorporate the program to suit your needs. Is it challenging? Do you want it to be? Go heavy or go home as Chalene says. I did. I challenged myself every step of the way. You can too.
I hope this helps, because I was exhausted, and bored trying to find the workouts that moved me. Chalene Johnson was my ticket out of my rut. Good luck!

I love this system. It's well worth the money. You get 3 months worth of workouts and recipes and a plan for maintenance. I am on week 3 and have lost 10 lbs and several inches. If you are serious about seeing better results than you've seen in the past, make sure you focus on the eating part of the plan. So many people only do the workouts and then wonder why they don't look like the people in the infomercial. Beachbody uses real customers in their infomercials, so the results are real, but you HAVE to do all aspects of the program. Otherwise, you'll tone up but your results won't be as amazing as what you've seen on TV. One other note is that you will need heavier weights than you may be used to - yes, even if you're a woman. Start with what you have and then consider investing in some additional weights or bands when you feel like the exercises have become easy. This program is for real and I love it!
