I’m not sure it’s more “Extreme” than the original. Can you tell that I didn’t like the modifications…at all?! The modifications aren’t great, and you can’t see her a lot. You’ll go heavy weights for 30 seconds and lighter weights for 30 seconds. Expect Drop Sets in the Upper Fix workout.
Power Extreme and ABC Workout are two of my favorites, and both are in the Deluxe series on Beachbody on Demand. You can get our countdown to competition meal plan here. I followed it, and the nutrition guide actually tells you what Autumn eats specifically for each meal before a fitness competition. I was totally okay with that – I mean, it’s 3 weeks! The Countdown to Competition meal plan was a nice addition! You’ll still use the containers, but you don’t have room in the meal plan to have a treat. By week 3, I just used the original 21 Day Fix Pilates workout, and I still felt like I better burn from it than the new version. I found myself skipping or changing some of the moves to just get through the workout. It uses a band – which is something common in a Pilates workout – but it’s awkward. She also mixes in anaerobic moves into the workout which helps you burn even more fat! I didn’t care for the Pilates workout. I also like the Cardio workout in this one better the original! It’s tough but a lot of fun. It’s intense, but the 30-second intervals make it go by fast. You’ll use weights for 30 seconds on the Lower Fix then do jump training the last 30 seconds to really challenge every leg muscle.
You’re going to do upper body moves, but every day is basically legs! My favorite workouts from the program are Lower Fix and Cardio Fix. I will say this program is definitely lower-body focused.
The very first workout, Plyo adds jump training to challenge your legs in a new way.
