Facts on the 21 Day Fix

Did you know, if you consistently adjust your behavior for 21 straight days you will create a new habit?

Thanks to Autumn Calabrese's #21DayFix workout programs, that new habit can be a lifestyle filled with healthy eating and a simplistic, yet effective workout routine -- all of which fits into your daily life!

There are two versions of the #21DayFix: the regular, original #21DayFix and the #21DayFixEXTREME.  Both programs include an easy-to-follow nutrition plan, daily 30 minute workouts (including active recovery days to keep you moving 7 days a week!), and the option to benefit from a significant retail savings by purchasing a "Challenge Pack" and getting the added, delicious, nutritious benefit of #Shakeology!

There are a few key differences.  The differences mainly pertain to how strict the nutrition plan is and the intensity of the daily workouts.

#21DayFix - The Original: 

• Nutrition Plan: 
• Determine your target caloric intake using an easy formula, based on your weight
• The formula then calculates to put you at a daily caloric deficit.  This ensures that, if you accurately follow your meal plan, your daily workouts will result in you burning more calories than you take in and therefore result in weight loss.
  
• Once you have a final target caloric intake, it puts you into one of four brackets.  Your bracket will tell you how much of each type of healthy food to eat each day.
• If you've ever done any other "tracking" or "counting" program, the containers will be a piece of cake for you!  It's THE easiest, most intuitive food tracking I've ever done.
• Your kit or Challenge Pack will include 7 colored containers of various sizes.  Your bracket will tell you how many of each color to eat per day and what type of food goes into each container.  For example, you may be allotted 5 green containers per day which is your veggies.
• PSST!  It's a lot of food!  There have been several days where we couldn't finish all of our containers!  Check out the picture on the bottom of the Sample Day of Meals on the 21 Day Fix!
• One #Shakeology smoothie counts as one red (protein) container and will DEFINITELY be the meal you most look forward too!  Sometimes it feels like a cheat meal, but it's not!  It's THE healthiest meal of the day.  There is truly nothing like it!
• Remember, a 30-day supply of Shakeology is included in the Challenge Pack.  It's a huge part of your savings!  
• You can even substitute 3 of your yellow containers (healthy carbs and starches), once per week for a treat or a glass of wine!
• Daily water goal to keep you hydrated and fueling your body effectively and accurately

• Working Out:
• You'll receive a set of DVDs that contain several 30 minute workouts
• Follow the enclosed schedule to do a different workout every day to keep your muscles guessing and give them time to recover
• You will be working out 7 days a week!  Two of those days are "active recovery days" where you are still moving, but it's less intense and let's your body stretch and relax while still being worked.
• The Modifier is an average person who shows variations of every exercise that make it lower impact and easy for ANYONE to do, while also making you work and build strength and muscle
• Schedule to allow for a "doubles" option for your last week to step it up
• Requires weights or resistance bands, and highly recommends a mat

#21DayFixEXTREME:

• Nutritional Plan: 
• Pre-set meals and snacks for every day of your 21 days
• Utilizes the meal plan that Autumn uses when she preps for Fitness Competitions
• Shakeology plays a role here too!  Again, it is THE healthiest, most nutrient-dense nutritional shake in existence and it's DE-LICIOUS! 
  
• No excuses or slacking on this meal plan. It's all clean eating and very targeted at muscle recovery and building
• Daily water goal to keep you hydrated and fueling your body effectively and accurately

• Working Out:
• Set of DVDs that contain several 30 minute workouts for every day of the week
• More intense than The Original and not geared at brand new, beginners trying to hit an initial fitness goal -- aimed at people who already workout very regularly
• Calendar to follow to keep your workouts interesting and challenging for your body, with an option to double-up for maximum results
• Requires weights or resistance bands, and highly recommends a mat

In either case, if you truly commit yourself and follow along for 21 consecutive days, you WILL see results.  You will experience changes in your lifestyle.  You will be one step closer to having the body and lifestyle you want!  If you have small, short-term weight/strength goals, you will likely achieve those thru one round of the #21DayFix.  If you have larger, long-term goals, you are encouraged to repeat the fix over and over until you achieve your goal.  Regardless of how many rounds it takes, once you hit your goal, the program comes with a "maintenance plan" to help you keep your new body and have a long-term, permanent payoff to all of your hard work and dedication.

Make the change.  See the results.  Be your best YOU and stop waiting for tomorrow to get there... there is NOTHING more important than you being healthy and happy so you can be the BEST in every other area of your life.
