21 Day Fix: What To Expect For Workouts


Now that you are ready to get started with the 21 day fix and you know how the containers work and how to use them. It's time to get a little sneak peek into what the workouts are like!

21 Day Fix comes with 7 main workouts (Total Body Cardio Fix, Upper fix, Lower Fix, Pilates Fix, Cardio Fix, Dirty 30 and Yoga fix), 2 ultimate workouts (Barre Legs and Flat Abs Fix) and now 2 additional workouts that are only available on Beachbody On Demand (Cardio Core Fix and Dirty Dozen). The Daily schedule is:
My favorite workouts: Upper and Lower. Dirty 30 and Dirty Dozen are my next favorite. I STRUGGLE with the cardio workouts still. They challenge me which is GREAT! That's what you want. Something that still makes you work. Each workout has a modifier so it is perfect for beginners or someone coming back after an injury (or having a baby!) And there is plenty of room for growth. Don't think that just because this is good for beginners that advanced people won't get anything out of this because you will. The newer you are the lighter weights and less reps you will do in the minute. The more advanced you are, heavier weights and more reps you should do! But above all, no matter what level you are. Give it your all every time. Each workout is only 30 minutes long. That's it. And you will get a total body workout. You should be sweating by the end!

Choose What You Sacrifice To Reach Your Goals Or Risk Sacrificing Your Goals


It takes a lot of discipline to stick with a nutrition plan and daily exercise. I personally aim for 5-6 days a week because I know I am not perfect and life happens. It always happens. But there is still some sacrifice involved with deciding to live this lifestyle. But you have to look at the long term results. Are you really sacrificing?

Beginning Treadmill Interval Training

Some days it is just too cold outside to go running. To keep from getting bored on the treadmill you can do one of two things. First, use the personal TV on the machine, your phone or tablet to watching something or listen to your favorite personal development book so that you are working on yourself from the inside out to keep your brain occupied on something else. 

Secondly, do interval work. This keeps your body guessing and keeps your brain from losing focus. It also will test your endurance as it is a way to spike up your heart rate for short bursts of time then allow yourself to rest a little on the walking sections.


This is also good practice if you want to use this technique in a long distance race. Similar to the Galloway method of speed walking and sprinting for short periods of times. This training below is for beginners! 
You can adjust these speeds based on your current running level but the point it is to push yourself. Remember to listen to your body and if you have to skip an interval, then skip it but do as many as you can!

Old Ways Won't Open New Doors

Know the saying, "You can't teach a dog new tricks." Well, that is not true. The yo-yo dieting cycle of reducing calories, exercising more, lose some weight, then stop doing everything only to gain the weight back, plus, needs to STOP! It doesn't work. It really doesn't. Why? Because it is too extreme of a change to sustain. Humans don't like change. And to completely change your lifestyle in such a drastic style just won't work. It didn't work for me, and I think if you are in here it probably didn't work for you either.

It's time to change how you think of losing weight.
Nutrition: It all starts with nutrition. Really! To lose weight you need to fill your body with healthy whole foods. Healthy food has more volume than junk food. So you will actually feel full sooner eating healthy foods compared to junk foods. Compare the calorie count of junk food to the calorie count of fruits and veggies. Think about it, how much junk food did you have to eat to feel full compared a large salad which is quite filling.

Exercise: Think of exercise as the way to make your body stronger, lean, defined. Not as your way to lose weight. That means, no more spending hours in the gym burning 1000 calories to counteract your calorie intake.
Don't Be Perfect: Doing a diet plan 100% doesn't work, or actually it only works for so long before you want to give in to a treat, or start making excuses. (21 Day Fix is so popular because it is only 21 days long and it is easier to follow a program that is short) Allow yourself to not be perfect. Eat healthy whole foods 80% of the time, and allow yourself an indulgent meal occasionally. and you won't feel guilty because it is allowed! I am following my program for the next 21 days, but agreed to let our Valentines Date be my off day. And honestly I am so excited for it! And I won't feel any guilt for it. Being 100% on nutrition and workouts just don't work for me! I have found that 90/10 or 80/20 is the best way to think about it for me.
Excerpt from my Love Yourself Fit ebook
Love yourself: In the end, this is a journey of bettering yourself. You have to love yourself first though. Don't forget to tell yourself how amazing you are!
