SO WHAT IS THE 21 DAY FIX?

21 Day Fix is a nutrition and fitness program that makes losing weight so simple, anyone can do it. Easy-to-follow portion control and 30-minute workouts take the guesswork out of losing weight to help you see results fast. Some people have lost up to 15 pounds in just 21 days (this is typically the case when you have more weight to lose).

DOES IT REALLY WORK?

Now for the only answer most everyone cares about: Yes! It worked for me, and many others that I know. I'll be honest and say that I tried to do fitness by myself by researching workouts and eating plans on my own and I have NEVER gotten results like this. It's like having your own personal trainer and nutritionist.

WHO CAN DO THE 21 DAY FIX?

The 21 Day Fix is a seven day-a-week, three-week workout program. It’s not only designed to help you lose inches in 21 days. In my opinion it really teaches you about how to live a healthy lifestyle long after the program is completed. It taught me about portion control through macros and how to make exercise a part of my daily routine. It is the perfect program for a beginner because it gives so much information on nutrition and working out. You can repeat the program for as many rounds as you would like or you could use it as a stepping stone to one of Beach Body’s many other wonderful programs.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The 21 Day Fix workout program was designed by Autumn Calabrese, a respected trainer and fitness competition competitor. Its easy-to-follow portion control system and seven, 30-minute workouts each week are designed to burn fat and get you looking better than ever in just 21 days. The outstanding thing about this program is really how simple the eating plan is. If it doesn’t fit into the color coded container or isn’t listed in the eating plan, you can’t eat it!

Basically, your daily calorie intake will tell you how many of each color container you can eat per day. There’s no calorie counting (which I love), because if it fits and it’s an approved food, you can eat it.

WHO THE 21 DAY FIX IS NOT FOR

If you are looking to bulk up your frame, then this might not be the ideal program for you. The beauty though about these workouts is that it can be as hard as you make it. If you find the workouts too easy, simply bump up the weight, or increase the speed of your reps. You will get lean and you will see definition, but unless you are lifting really heavy weights, then you will not get bulky.

If you are worried you will have a hard time keeping up with the workouts, fear not! There is always a modifier featured in the videos, so if you have a bad back or are just starting out on your fitness journey, you can always follow the modifier.

WHAT’S INCLUDED WITH YOUR 21 DAY FIX WORKOUT PROGRAM:

21 Day Fix is not a starvation-based diet. Yes, the containers look small, but I promise. You will be amazed at the amount of food that fits in those containers! In fact, the biggest thing I learned by doing the program is that I wasn’t eating ENOUGH! No problem here. I will happily eat more. :)

The Workouts:

Seven, 30 minute workouts. They go by so quickly, and I found it relatively easy to fit them into my schedule The workouts included are:

Total Body Cardio Fix
Upper Fix
Lower Fix
Pilates Fix
Cardio Fix
Yoga Fix (active rest day)
Dirty 30 – Bonus workout

The Portion Control System:

21 Day Fix comes with dishwasher-safe, BPA-free containers that are color coded for a foolproof diet plan. Whatever fits into the container from the specific food group the food is intended for is what you’re allowed to eat. The containers are explained in the picture to the left.

You will also get:

21 Day Fix Eating Plan: An easy-to-follow, portion-control diet plan with plain and simple recipes - think clean eating.

3 Day Quick Fix: To get you jump-started on your weight loss, this is a three day diet plan designed to maximize fat loss and start you off right.

24/7 Online Support: This is something useful that comes with any Beachbody product you purchase. It’s great for whenever you’re looking for support and/or motivation to keep you going when things get tough.

AND (my favorite part) it also includes the Shakeology Shaker Cup and a 30 day supply of Shakeology, the world’s best super food nutrition available. See my post on Shakeology here.

WHAT EQUIPMENT YOU’LL NEED FOR 21 DAY FIX

You will need an exercise band and some weights (I used 5 lbs for all the exercises though some called for “heavier weights.” My ability wasn’t there yet). You may also want a yoga/exercise mat if you don’t want to lay directly on the floor but this is optional to me.

It is possible to do the program without any equipment and just using bodyweight, but your results won’t be as noticeable. I have also used things like empty gallons of milk filled with water to sub for weights and even jars of pasta sauce. You get creative when you don’t have equipment…

For beginners, I would recommend:

3, 5, and 8 pound dumbbells or a resistance band

For intermediates/advanced:

5, 10, and 15 pound dumbbells or a resistance band

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE FIX

Here are some things I love about the 21 Day Fix:

It's only 21 days
The workouts are only 30 minutes long and you can do them in your living room. No going to the gym!
It teaches you about portion control and has helped me better recognize how much food I should be eating in one setting. This is especially handy when I go out to eat.
The challenge pack comes with my absolute favorite health food on the planet: Shakeology. *yum*
You get your money back if you don't like your results or the program itself. No questions asked.
You get a free t-shirt just for participating in the program.

So, whether you’re getting ready for an upcoming event or getting back on track to achieving your final weight loss goal through a lifestyle change, the 21 Day Fix is definitely a program to consider. It was designed with every fitness level in mind.

The eating plan is also very family-friendly. So much so that there is now the FIXATE cookbook: 101 of Autumn’s favorite, family-friendly recipes that are even color-coded for easy tracking of containers while you’re on the program! If you have growing children in your family, you obviously won’t need to necessarily control their portions. The Fix diet does focus on clean whole foods, which we all should be eating more of.
