Cardio Fix Extreme: I need to start off by saying I definitely enjoyed this more than the original Cardio Fix. For each round, you will do 2 different moves for a minute each (usually with weights) before doing 30 seconds of a cardio move, then you repeat the round before moving on. I sweat like I haven't sweat in a long time!
Dirty 30 Extreme: I have always loved Dirty 30. Since my 21DFX program arrived on a Friday night, I decided to give it a try on Saturday morning, starting with Dirty 30 Extreme since that's the Saturday workout. I immediately noticed a difference: Instead of splitting the moves that you need to do on each side for one minute total (30 seconds each side, as done in the 21DF), you will do each move for a full minute on each side. WOAH!! This is an awesome shoulder burner in particular. I wanted to start with a lighter set of weights for my first week (3lb and 5lb instead of 5lb and 7lb), and after only the first round of moves in this workout, I was so glad I did, or I wouldn't be able to lift my daughter. This is going to really give you some amazing summer arms... YAY!
Yoga Fix Extreme: I'm always up front with you... so I'm just going to say it like it is. This is only my opinion and this really isn't a "review" on this particular workout and I am sure there are plenty of you out there who will hate me for saying this: I don't like Yoga. I tried to get into it with the original 21 Day Fix. I've tried various Yoga DVDs. I am a girl that likes to be on the move (hence why I love PiYo), so I just don't like this workout. It seems like a great recovery workout, but I have trouble staying still... so I will be subbing in Pilates in place of Yoga as I did with the original program. This one definitely seems a lot more challenging than the original from what I can remember. It's just not my cup of tea. My apologies guys, but I don't want to BS you and tell you I love it... I'm sure most of you will enjoy it. I just don't like Yoga. Ok, I'm done.
10 Minute Hardcore: This is a little different from the 10 Minute Ab Fix from the original since you do each move for a minute rather that just doing 20 of each move and then repeating the round. I personally prefer the original ab workout better for this reason but this will still make your abs burn, I promise!!

I am SO with you!! I am not a yoga fan, either, and I skip the Sunday Yoga sessions! Glad I'm not the only one!!
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to try the 21 Day Fix Extreme, but am not sure that I am quite there yet. Would you recommend completing a few rounds of the original 21 Day Fix before moving on to the Extreme?

Hi Jen! Thanks for stopping by. I think it really depends on your fitness level. The modifications aren't really as modified in the extreme program as they can be in the original fix. I personally prefer the extreme workouts more than the original. I think if you've done even just one round of the original that you could be ready to move up to extreme. While they are harder workouts, I wouldn't say they're as challenging as say Insanity Max: 30 would be. I hope this helps --- if you still have questions, feel free to comment back. :)
