Pick Your Fix - 21 Day Fix or 21 Day Fix Extreme?

 

Chances are if you have flipped through the tv channels at all in the past few months you have caught at least a glimpse of the 21 Day Fix infomercial.  That baby is on all the time & I get sucked in every time!  Spoiler alert!  It has a happy ending!

 

If you haven't heard of the 21 Day Fix, it combines simple clean eating nutrition & teaches proper portions size with these nifty little color-coded containers.  The 21 Day Fix has dynamic 30 minute workouts that switch things up every day of the week - from yoga & Pilates, to cardio & strength training.  You will never get bored, build healthy habits, & you will see real results!  If you are new to working out or just getting back into the swing of things there is an awesome modifier to help you access every single workout on the level that works for you.

 

 

You definitely do not go hungry on the 21 Day Fix.  You eat every 2 1/2 -3 hours & use the easy to follow nutrition guide & portion control containers to guide you.  I also provide color-coded meal plans to help you figure out how to get your Fix on.  You even have the flexibility for some sweet treats & even an occasional glass of wine!

 

The 21 Day Fix Extreme takes this program to a whole new level.  A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of doing a live 21 Day Fix Extreme workout with the Fix creator, Autumn Calabrese, & hear her talk about this new program.

 

 

Autumn emphasized that the 21 Day Fix Extreme is NOT for beginners (unlike the original Fix).  This program is for folks who already have a solid base level of fitness & are looking to take it to the next level.  Every workout involves weights (Autumn says she loves to "toss around iron") & there are no breaks throughout the 30 minute workout.

The nutrition plan is also more extreme.  No more wine & chocolate treats!  This is all about optimal nutrition for peak performance & results.  Autumn shared that there are two nutrition plan options for the 21 Day Fix Extreme - extreme nutrition & competition prep nutrition plan. 

 Autumn is a bikini competitor & shares how she eats the final 21 days before a competition.  Autumn said you can go with one track or the other or do a combination of the two.

 

Here are some short videos so you can compare:

 

 

Now the choice is yours.  Which Fix will you pick?  Will you start simple or are you ready to go extreme?

 

The Pick Your Fix challenge group will run for 63 days so you will get support, guidance, meal plans, healthy recipes, & more not just for your first 21 Days, but for three full rounds of the Fix!  You can start with the original & transition to extreme.

You can stick with the original for the duration of the group.

You can go for a full 63 days of 21 Day Fix Extreme.

The choice is yours!

Pick Your Fix, I'll provide all the support you need to succeed.

Things I should have said to Carl Daikeler in the elevator...and other thoughts on Super Friday

 

This past weekend I impulsively jumped off of my elevator that was going down & onto an elevator that was going up....I did not need to go up, but I had the opportunity to jump on the elevator with the guy pictured above.  He's not a movie star or a world leader, but he sure is working hard to end the trend of obesity in America - he is the co-founder & CEO of Team Beachbody, Carl Daikeler. 

 

Not many people I know would be this excited to jump on an elevator with their CEO, but as you can see from my cheesy grin, I was totally pumped!  So pumped, in fact, that I didn't have my wits about me to say something meaningful...I have that tendency to get tongue-tied when I get excited.  So, our conversation went something like this...

Me: Carl, can I get on the elevator with you?

 

Carl: Sure

 

Me: <jumping up & down> Can we take a picture?

 

Carl: Sure

 

<I take a few shaky selfies.>

 

Me: Sorry, I'm gross & sweaty (from the 21 Day Fix Extreme workout we just did with Autumn Calabrese)

 

Carl: Yeah, I'm gross too.

 

Me: But you didn't do the workout... <elevator door opens> Thanks for the picture...this will make a great story!

 

<Carl exits elevator.>

 

So after I go down to the floor I had originally intended to & run to tell all my friends about my elevator adventure, I'm driving back to my folks' house where I was spending the weekend.  That's when my brain slows down enough to realize all the things I SHOULD have said to Carl in that elevator.  So here it goes....Carl will probably never read this, but this is what I should have said to him in that elevator....

 

Me: Carl, thanks so much for developing this coaching opportunity & entrusting the growth of your business to people who started out as Beachbody customers.  Had my friend Melanie never posted on Facebook about how she lost her baby weight with Insanity I never would have even thought about buying a Beachbody workout...I'm just not an infomercial watching type of gal.

 

Thank you for challenge groups, without that first challenge group that I joined after having our 4th child I would still be teetering on 200lbs., I would still have zero energy, & I would not feel comfortable in my own skin.

 

Thank you for fostering a community of support & comradeship as we work towards the common goal of a healthier country.  I have reconnected with some wonderful long-time friends & met some fabulous new friends through this fitness family we call Beachbody.  This community of support is what gave me my life back, saved my sanity, & helped me to leave a job that I had become disillusioned with.

 

Thank you for the chance to change lives from the comfort of my home.  I went from working mom to stay at home mom to work from home mom....I never would have dreamed of myself as an entrepreneur, but thanks to coaching, now I am one!  Having the flexibility to work when is best for my family & I is a priceless gift.

 

And Carl would have said: Sure, you're welcome.  (Because he's awesome & humble like that.)

 

Back to reality & what I really did in that elevator...

Totally dorked out!

Thanks for listening & dealing with my wacky personality in that elevator!

 

So this event really was about more than hijacking elevators...

Super Friday in Pittsburgh was a fabulous opportunity, not only for me to learn about some great new things that are coming down the pipeline from Beachbody...

 

Like 21 Day Fix Extreme

 

And Beachbody On Demand...think streaming video library of your favorite Beachbody workouts.  Oh yeah!

Banana Ice Cream

Quick, easy, creamy, & dreamy...banana "ice cream."

Cut frozen bananas into 1 inch rounds & put into food processor.

Pulse until crumbly looking. Scrape down sides occasionally.

Turn on food processor for approximately 2 minutes, until the bananas take on an ice cream-like consistency.

Add in 2 Tbls. all-natural peanut butter or other add-ins of your choice. Cashew butter, almond butter, or unsweetened coconut flakes would be amazing.

Turn on food processor until peanut butter is incorporated.
