WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 21 DAY FIX AND 21 DAY FIX EXTREME?

Are you a  21 Day Fix graduate or maybe you just want to get an amazing body in 21 days, or you are simply in a hurry to lose every last unwanted pound? Then 21 Day Fix Extreme is for you.

Post by Dream Big Fitness.

I will be sharing my personal results with the 21 Day Fix Extreme in a few weeks. So Stay Tuned!!!

What’s the difference between 21 Day Fix and 21Day Fix Extreme?

The original 21 Day Fix program was created for beginners to intermediate level. It’s great for someone who is completely new to exercise, who has significant amount of weight to lose, or who is at an intermediate level but needs to get their nutrition in order while breaking out an existing fitness routine with a new routine.

With 21 Day Fix Extreme…there is no chocolate, no wine, no “treats”. It’s designed to get you “shredded”! If you wanna be in the absolute best shape (like for competition prep) you have to eliminate those things! 21 Day Fix is for all walks of life – those who already workout and those who haven’t worked out a day in their life. 21 Day Fix Extreme is for those with some kind of fitness baseline.

How does the meal plan work?

There are two meal plans included with this program and each consists of eating REAL food. This is NOT a diet. It uses the same containers as 21 Day Fix but the meal plans are a bit stricter. If you’re wondering about the sizing of the containers, they are very generous. You may find that you actually struggle to get all of your meals in for the day. Eating clean is so very different from a more relaxed eating plan.

For example: Let’s say you’re used to eating about 70% clean. When you consume the same number of calories eating roughly 100% clean, you consume a lot more food!

The meal plans include:

Extreme Eating Plan ~ dialed in nutrition (more strict than the 21 Day Fix meal plan)

Countdown to Competition Plan ~ very strict meal plan designed to get you ready for the competition stage. This is the eating plan Autumn follows for competition prep.

Is there a modifier?

Yes! However, Autumn says that the modifier is still working at a good pace. If you’re familiar with Kat from the original 21 Day Fix program, the modifier in 21 Day Fix Extreme takes it to the next level. The modifier in Extreme basically reduces the impact in a lot of the workouts but the intensity is still there.

21 Day Fix Extreme Workouts?

Just like the original 21 Day Fix, the Extreme workouts are 30 minutes long. I honestly don’t like working out much longer than that. I prefer short, intense, effective workouts over lengthy ones.

The program includes:

Upper Fix Extreme

Lower Fix Extreme

Cardio Fix Extreme

Total Body Cardio Fix Extreme

Yoga Fix Extreme

Pilates Fix Extreme

Dirty 30 Extreme

What will I need?

You are going to need a set of light and heavy weights and a resistance band. Personally I was using 15 and 20 lbs but I would recommend starting with 5lb and 10 lbs to start. You will also a resistance band (note: if you are 6’-0” taller or above make sure you get a little band that will stretch far.)  is used quite frequently so make sure you have one of those. They are inexpensive and you can get them from any sporting goods store or Walmart.

Who is 21 Day Fix Extreme for?

21 Day Fix graduates

Graduates of other Beachbody programs including Insanity, T25 and P90X

Those with a baseline of fitness (NOT beginners)

21 DAY FIX EXTREME STARTER GUIDE

It’s time!! My 21 Day Fix Extreme arrived early this week, and I’ve been planning and prepping my meals for the week! I am going to be 100% committed to this program because I know it’s going to bring me some results!

What is 21 Day Fix EXTREME?

 • A 21-day program that features simple portion control, clean eating, and extreme 30-minute workouts.

• The portion-control containers take all the guesswork out of how much you should eat.

• The Eating Plan will tell you exactly what to eat and when—and how to eat cleaner than ever.

• This is how you get seriously shredded in 21 days. What are the unique benefits?

• No other program has you eating this well and working this hard. It's going to take guts, intensity, and drive. But it's only 21 days.

• The 30-minute workouts are extreme. They combine steady-state aerobics, resistance training, and explosive power moves that target every muscle in the body—to help you get shredded in a short amount of time.

• Seven workouts; one for every day of the week so your mind never gets bored and your body never adapts.

• For your nutrition, you'll not only be practicing portion control—you'll be eating ONLY clean foods. No treats. No cheats. No excuses.

• Autumn has included her own competition nutrition plan, which she uses to get stage-ready and ripped in 21 days.

 • After 21 days of extreme fitness and clean nutrition…you're going to have some serious results.

What is difference between the “21 Day Fix” and the “21 Day Fix  EXTREME”?

What do I need for the Workouts?

You are going to need a set of light and heavy weights and a resistance band. Personally I was using 15 and 20 lbs but I would recommend starting with 5lb and 10 lbs to start. You will also a resistance band (note: if you are 6’-0” taller or above make sure you get a little band that will stretch far.)  is used quite frequently so make sure you have one of those. They are inexpensive and you can get them from any sporting goods store or Walmart.

What do I need to do to prepare for the 21 Day Fix Extreme meal plan?

I started by reviewing the nutrition guide, calculating my calories, determining the number of containers I can have each day, and then printing off the tracking sheets. You can print off your own tracking sheets at www.teambeachbody.com under the GET FIT tab and Workout Sheets. They are seriously the best way to keep track of what you’re eating each day.

I created my own Excel spreadsheet for my personal meal plan which I have printed off and keep in the kitchen so I know exactly what I’m going to eat for each meal. On Sunday, I plan for the next week and prep anything I’ll need, like cooked chicken breast or veggies so that I’m not scrambling during the week.  “Perparation Is Everything”

I encourage you to make a meal plan and write it down like I did. It just makes it so much easier to know what you’re eating. You will be prepared with healthy foods in the house and won’t be guessing what you’re eating next, which can lead to poor choices.

The bottom line when it comes to the 21 Day Fix Extreme is there are no cheats when it comes to your eating and you’re doing workouts that push you to your max! I personally know that when it comes to losing the last 10 lbs or trying to get those abs to show, you’ve really got to dial in your nutrition and workouts and go extreme! Of course, this isn’t something you have to maintain forever, once you get the results, you can go into maintenance mode. I know it can be done! That’s why Beachbody has coaches like myself who are here to help. My job is to provide you support, guidance, tips, and accountability to start and finish the program!!

Also, I will be blogger about my journey every day. I will share with you my thoughts about the workouts and tips and tricks that have helped me. In addition, I will be logging all my meal plans for your review. So please check back ofen.
