Yesterday we took a quick look at the ChaLEAN Extreme nutrition plan and why you need to eat the right combination of lean protein, good carbs and fat in order to lose weight. Today let’s look at where I went wrong and how I fixed it.
What I did wrong
So I mentioned above that what I [...]
One of the main worries of anyone who is trying to lose weight is knowing what to eat. You want to know what you can eat, what you can’t eat, how much can you eat. Beachbody understands the important role good nutrition plays in any fitness routine, and luckily, they provide the information you need [...]
Beachbody’s underlying mission in all that it does is to fight the obesity epidemic that is gripping the United States. They work very hard on having fitness programs that meet every need, and kids are no exception. Over the years, they have developed several programs that are perfect for kids of all ages.

No matter what kind of weight loss program you’re on, it’s important to keep track of what you’re putting into your mouth. You could jot down what you’re eating in a notebook, and try to keep track of the calories consumed that way, but it’s hard if you don’t know exact amounts, or how many [...]
Today I did my last workout for ChaLEAN Extreme! Some folks seem to feel sad when they reach the end of a good exercise program: I’m exhilerated. Why? Because I’m in much better shape now than when I began, and I’m looking forward to building higher on this foundation. I’m looking forward to the next [...]
The other day we got Turbo Jam, another program led by Chalene Johnson of ChaLEAN Extreme fame, and we gave the first segment - Learn and Burn - a try (so I can’t give a complete review here, but will add more as we do the other workouts).
The first thing I’ll say is to reiterate [...]
This one’s for the guys out there (as well as the gals who have guys who need to get in shape), particularly the guys who look at the informercials or other ads for ChaLEAN Extreme and say, “Ahh, that’s just for women!”
Well, I’ve got news for you, buster: unless you’re really primed for the over-the-top [...]
I will be starting my last week of ChaLEAN Extreme in three days. I’m amazed at how quickly this 3 month period flew by! I guess that means I was having fun, right? The answer is yes, I was having fun. This has been the most amazing program I’ve done so far. I loved the [...]
People have lots of different reasons for making changes in their lives. Sometimes we make changes just because we want to, other times we make changes because we’re forced to. And sometimes we need to make changes, but because change is often difficult, we don’t.
In my case, I needed to change the way I was [...]
While I’ve never considered myself an athlete (with good reason - ha!), I’m also no stranger to exercise and the principles of fitness. I spent many hours in college riding my road bike (usally averaging 100 miles or so per week), as well as doing physical training - PT - in Army ROTC, which was [...]
