I arrived back to my home in California after Christmas time with my family to find a wonderful package waiting.
It was Chalene.
I spent the good part of the night going through all the resources in the Chalene Extreme pack (ChX). I wasn't quite sure what to expect, actually. I've done a lot of at home videos over the years, but there were several things that got me really excited about this resource.
1. ChX comes with 6 DVDs. This program is 90 days long, and you better believe you should have more than one little 50 min DVD workout to keep my interest for 90 days. Lucky for her, she had 6. Every week you actually complete 5 different workouts - so you never repeat one during the same week. You repeat these 5 for about 4 weeks and then move on to another set of workouts. Rinse and repeat after the next 30 days. Variety = Motivation (for me). Thank you, Chalene.
2. ChX Guide book. Included in the packet is a thorough guide book that walks you through how to assess your current fitness level, a calendar of workouts for the whole 90 days, pages for tracking the weights you use, etc. etc. I love this book, it gives context to the whole program and makes it very user friendly.
3. ChX Cook book. Not only do you have all the workouts lined up for you, but you also get a nice cookbook that breaks down different meal ideas for each phase of the workout. Workout regime + nutritional guide = simplicity at it's finest.
In addition to those resources you also get a resistant band, thigh band, and body fat tester (okay the last one wasn't exciting - but maybe it will be in 90 days).
It's time to turn the tide of Christmas over indulgence. Chalene begins Jan. 1.
