Also, keep in mind you will be doing tons of push-ups. If you're doing Chalene Extreme you will need to have the heavy weights she uses (if you are a girl like me, you will need dumbels from 5 lbs to 30 lbs), if not, I will not recommend it. I think I didn't lose the expected body fat percentage because I didn't do the program with the very heavy weights that Chalene use. I used weights from 8 lbs to 18 lbs (which I combined some dumbels with hand weights to achieve this heavy weight). Actually I gained weight from muscle building, which is fine. I really loved the program, it makes you stronger, it's easy to follow and fun. In the strength you're now carrying heavy weights with 12 reps and the 'extreme' 3 extra reps. The cardio videos are also intervals but they are tougher than in the previous month. As in the previous months 3 days are strength and 2 days are cardio. In this phase Chalene combines strong movements with weights on the arms with legs. You have to really use heavy weights in this month, like 15 pounds or more. The cardios are the same as the last month, the strength changes its repetitions from 12 to 8 and they include an 'extreme' section with 3 more reps. As in the previous month, 3 days are strength, 2 days are cardio. In this month Chalene focuses on heavy, really heavy weights. The strength workouts are ok, not difficult. I really like the cardio videos, they are intervals which tend to burn lots of calories and they are not easy. 3 days a week you do strength training with heavy weights, 2 days are focused on cardio, one with abs and one with stretch.

In this month Chalene is focused on making your body stronger in order to achieve the lean results that are announced. The program is divided in 3 phases: burn, push and lean, each one with 30 days long. I did Chalean Extreme program at the begging of the year.
