Who is 21 Day Fix for?
Anyone who’s ready to commit to three weeks of hard work, even those who have never exercised before. If you’re an INSANITY or P90X grad, you’ll likely find the workouts too easy.
Is this a good program for beginners?
Yes. It’s designed for beginners.
What equipment do I need?
Light weights and an exercise mat.
What are Red Container (Protein) options for vegans?
The 21 Day Fix Nutrition Plan includes options for vegans; check out the guide for more information. Plus, there’s always tofu and tempeh, which are soy, but not that processed imitation stuff.
What if I can’t finish all my Containers?
Just eat what you can. But don’t use that as an excuse to skip your Green Containers (Vegetables)!. If you’re not finishing meals, eat those first. They have the highest nutrient-to-calorie ratio of all.
Are protein bars allowed?
Yes! You can snack on ourBEACHBAR.It’s adelicious, sensible snack bar that easily fits into our nutrition plans.The Container Equivalents for one BEACHBAR are: ½ Red Container, ½ Yellow Container, 1 teaspoon (oils and nut butters).
Will I get results if I only follow the modifier?
Of course, as long as you work without the modifier as your fitness improves. You only get out of it what you put in.
How many rounds should I do?
As many as you like, though keep in mind that as you get fitter you need to push yourself harder. Basically, as long as you’re liking your results, you can keep going.
I missed a week. Where do I start from today?
Missing a few days is no big deal. Just jump back into your program where you left off. After about five or six days off, your body is fully recovered and very strong, and you actually have the ability to hurt yourself by breaking down your fast-twitch muscle fibers. This can make you too sore to work out for over a week. If you’ve missed more than five days, start slow on your first day back, maybe doing a third to a half of your normal workout and ramp up little by little, taking about a week to get back to where you left off.
What is maintenance work?
It’s much harder to lose weight and get in shape than it is to maintain weight loss once you get there. You can generally maintain a level pretty close to peak fitness with about half the volume of your program. To maintain, you can utilize many different forms of training but the easiest is often 3 to 4 days per week of the program you just finished. It will decline slowly over time, but you’ll probably start another program or activity to pick up the slack after a while.
What program should I do after 21 Day Fix?
We created 21 Day Fix EXTREME for those who’d like to move on to the next step. It’s quite an advancement, however, so if you’re still struggling with the workouts, perhaps do another round, or pick another Beachbody intermediate program to try. If you’re crushing the Fix workouts, EXTREME is for you. Do take at least a week or two to allow your body to recover, following a maintenance schedule.
