21 Day Fix
The 21 Day Fix was created by fitness competitor, model, and former-blogger, Autumn Calabrese. If you’ve had a baby in the last 5 years, you may know her for her healthy pregnancy workouts and blog contributions at ModernMom.com. She is also the founder of Mighty Mommies Fitness.
I’m a fitness nut, but fitness competitors, especially national-level bikini competitors, have ALWAYS fascinated me! What do they eat? What workouts do they do? Could I possibly do it too?!
A little more about Autumn Calabrese…
Along with being a bikini competitor, Autumn is also a certified personal trainer and certified in kettle bell and spin classes. She is also known for her simple diet plan using portion control and healthy habits involving exercising every day. Besides helping people online through blogging, she has trained Brooke Burke, Rachel Zoe, and Tom Bergeron. However...the 21 Day Fix isn’t limited to just mom’s or even women for that matter!
More about the 21 Day Fix
The 21 Day Fix was designed to get MAXIMUM results, but it was also designed to be easy to follow for the average person. The prep time and workouts are very short which really appeals to me as a busy mom of 3, Beachbody Coach, and Wife! Also, the whole “21 Day” aspect of the program is to create and implement new healthy habits — it’s not something that is too extreme to not be able to do year-round if you'd like.
The Nutrtion -
Autumn’s nutrition plan is a major part of the 21 day weight loss program. It makes sense because your nutrition is what accounts for 70-80% of your results!! You get portioned-controlled containers to measure all of your food. She outlines everything so you don’t have to do any kind of mental work. Just fix, go, and eat. She also mentioned that she leaves room for a piece of chocolate or a little wine because while it’s a 21 Day Fix, the ideals behind the program are NOT short term. The behaviors learned in the 21 days should become habits you can continue as a healthy lifestyle. There is no starving or eating ONLY kale on this plan (thank God!) Lol!
The 21 Day Fix Rule:
No weighing, measuring, or counting calories, carbs or points….If it fits in the container, you can eat it.
Can I get an AMEN?!
The Workouts
The fitness portion of the 21 Day Fix is great for anyone who doesn't want to spend their entire day working out, but seeing results as though they have! Sounds good, right?! It uses so many resistance moves using only your body that you are going to feel it the next day AND see results quickly, but it also incorporates resistance band and/or free weight training as well!

The 21 Day Fix will start out at $59.85 for the Base Essentials Kit, and the Challenge Pack will only be $160 (on sale for the month of February ONLY for $140)! That’s like paying just $10 (or $20) for the 21 Day Fix Base Essentials Kit when you buy Shakeology.

No food is off limits because everything is in moderation. The food is easy to shop for, prep, and eat. You are allowed Shakeology.
When you order the 21 Day Fix, you receive portioned food storage containers that are measured out for the perfect portion. You don’t have to count calories, macros, or anything. It’s planned out all by containers. The containers are easy to carry with you, and they are microwave and dishwasher safe!
4. Can I modify the meal plans for my needs (vegan, vegetarian, breast feeding, etc)?
Yes, yes, and yes. The meal plan can be adapted to meet your needs, and there are directions on how to do so included with the materials you’ll receive when you order the 21 Day Fix.
5. Can I have a cheat meal?
You just don’t want to stuff your face. You can have a treat a few times week, and she does break down how to include for something like pizza or lasagna.
6. What results can I expect?
People generally lose 10-15lbs!! It isn’t a starvation or quick-fix type of program either. You can lose 10-15lbs and keep it off when you practice the healthy habits you learn in those 21 days.
7. What are the workouts like?
They are 30 minutes long and vary daily. Autumn Calabrese is the trainer, and the set is very light and fun. Each workout is intense and necessary for your results. She is very specific about how to modify moves, and there is a modifier in every workout.
8. What equipment will I need?
You’ll need a set of dumbbells or a resistance band. I suggest dumbbells over bands though. Bands are not always used.
9. Can I do the 21 Day Fix longer than 21 Days?
Definitely!! I think it should be! The behaviors learned in the 21 days should become habits you can continue as a healthy lifestyle, and that is why the program is 21 days — not because it’s too extreme.
10. Is it like the Beachbody Ultimate Reset?
Nope. The only similarity they have is that both are 21 days. It is nothing like the Reset.
11. Who is the 21 Day Fix for?
Honestly — anyone, and I don’t say that about any other workout so I’m serious and genuine when I say anyone can benefit from the 21 Day Fix. The meal plan is flexible enough and there are enough modifications a beginner, even a beginner that is obese, could do this workout with their doctor’s consent. Someone at an intermediate level will love this program because it offers a challenge without wanting to quit, and even an advanced exerciser can benefit from the 21 Day Fix. It also gives you room to grow and improve so it never gets old.
12. Can I become a Beachbody Coach when I order The 21 Day Fix?
Yes! It’s actually a great time to take the plunge because you can get the 21 Day Fix, a 30 day supply of Shakeology, and sign up to coach all for $140. As soon as you sign up, you’ll be able to have your friends order from you as well to help cover your costs (plus you get 25% off any other personal order you place).
