Fantastic
the 21 day fix program is fantastic !!! With this I have lost 25 lbs after my first pregnancy ! The workouts are great and perfect to do at home . You don't need to much equipment which is great ! I only find the portions to be a tad small and the containers are a little cheap since 2 of mine cracked. But other than that it is honestly the best investment I have made towards my health .
Healthy Lifestyle change
I wouldn't call this program a diet. It's more of a kick start to a lifestyle change. The weekly meal planning is a bit of a pain but there are so many existing ones out there that all you have to do is tweak a little to suit your tastes.
The containers are super helpful and easy to use. You have a specific container allowance per day and I often found that one simply cannot eat that much food. Just finish what you can and make sure you have something from each container. What I like about the container system is that it takes the guesswork out if how much food to actually eat.
The exercise Dvd's are short (only 30 minutes) but you're moving the entire time so they're effective. Who doesn't have 30 minutes a day to dedicate to exercise. The woman on the videos is super encouraging and really bubbly which can get annoying. There are modified moves for beginners and you do them at your own pace from the comfort of your living room.
Shakeology is gross. I got the vanilla sample pack which is only a weeks worth and I did not like it. I've heard that the coffee flavour is better though. I usually mixed mine with berries to take the nastiness away. They may take gross but they do actually work.
I like that you can eat anything you want but they teach you portion control and promote a healthy lifestyle. I only did one round (3 weeks) and lost 3 pant sizes. I'm more toned, feel better about myself and have changed how I eat.
I love this plan!
Still going
I'm freshly back on another round of 21 day fix. I had to take a break because of my knee and a broken foot but I managed to lose almost 40 lbs! It works for me. I don't do shakeology but the meal plan is decent and the workouts are good. They have a modified version for those who are just starting to work out and need to do things easier. I recommend it!
I think this program is really good for many people. It's pretty easy to follow the workouts and the food portion containers take the guess work out of the nutrition part. I love the online accountabity groups and the coaches. I personally had a hard time sticking to it because I don't enjoy working out and didn't enjoy the workouts ( although I know many people who did) I am going to order the country heat instead because I think I'll have an easier time with that!
This is a total lifestyle adaptation program. It includes diet, portion control, supplements, workouts and support.
The workouts provided in CDs are fun and motivating. As an added bonus, you can pay a big more per week and streamline lots of different workouts through your BeachBody online account.
The program if you really dig into provides all sorts of incentives and motivation for people to reach their goals. You can find BeachBody coaches all over the world. There are contests to enter and events to attend.
There is as much focus on workouts as there is on diet. Online you have access to endless recipes, fitness articles and tips and tricks that worked for others.
I sincerely believe if one follows the program (like most of them out there), they will find success. The people I have seen with the best success are people who are relatively inactive that have a routine work schedule/lifestyle already. It seems like with a bit of muscle building, smaller portions and an ability to eat at regular intervals through out the day, those gals/guys really thrive on this program.
Great way to kick start your healthy lifestyle. Workouts are quick and effective, and the meal plan is realistic and easy to follow. After my first few weeks I decided to sign up as a coach. Great benefits!
