I agree! I notice that certain things are just not happening and I am disappointed because I thought by working out I would be able to do this stuff until the end. I like to think it might just be the winter stiffness and I will do better when the weather warms up.
I could always get up off the floor without using my hands and this has recently become impossible also.

Surrenders...

I think when you're young, doing something like this is fine and doable, if you're not doing these type of moves all the time.

There just comes a time when we have and should modify certain exercises (and not feel bad about it!) It's the smart thing to do.

I long for the day when Cathe has modifiers in her workouts, because I think she would benefit by reaching a larger audience. Everyone is getting older and can't do all that they once did before.

I think Beachbody did a good thing by having Cat/Kat in these workouts, as well as showing other options. And, they have someone using a band, which makes these workouts even better, for those that want that alternative.

I do honestly like Surrenders. (NMTZ is a fav). But I don't use heavy weights and I take my time doing them.
I agree with Pam. I listen to my body and adjust accordingly..modify as needed.

Thanks for the great breakdowns, very helpful! So far I'm really liking what I'm seeing on this set and with the meal plan. However, the first DVD in the set did not work and they are sending out a replacement. Messed up my plan to start the complete rotation.

So sorry about your DVD, Sherri! I hope you don't have to wait too long for a replacement!

I'm on Day 14 of the rotation. I'm debating on whether I should do another 21 days once the first round is complete. I'd like to try them again with the bands, but I don't want to burn out on the DVDs, either.

Plyo Fix!

Plyo Fix

This is the "free" extra workout that comes with the Beachbody set. It is not in the seven day rotation calendar, so I'm guessing it can be substituted for any other workout.

No weights needed

Begins with three minute and thirty second warm-up. Warm-up like the rest (jog in place, jacks, windmills, side reaches, toe touches and repeat.)

Six rounds of exercises of thirty seconds each with thirty second rests between.

There is also the same modifier for this one.

Round One

Squat Jumps
One Legged Squat Jumps
(repeat)

Round Two

Tuck Jumps
Frog Jumps
(repeat)

Round Three

Burpee Push-up
Plyo Push-up
(repeat)

Round Four

Moguls
Skater Jumps
(repeat)

Round Five

Jumping Lunges
Twisted Lunges
(repeat)

Round Six

Full Hops (in push-up position)
Sumo Jumps
(repeat)

Ends with two minute and forty-five second Cool-down.

Barre Legs

Since I did not purchase the two "extra" or additonal workouts, these are Donna's (dnna) comments she posted in the Challenges and Check-ins group.

It can be used in place of Lower Body Fix in the rotation.

[Quote]
"It has a 30-30-30 count, active, pulse, and hold.
Here are the exercises:
warm up
sumo squat
regular squat
front leg lift standing
forward lunges
attitude lift to the read, standing
heel press up to the ceiling on all floors
calf raise
lying side leg lift.
3 minute stretch, could have had a longer stretch.
Cat is the modifier, 5 other background exercisers, one lone male
it is a very simple workout, but I felt the "holds"
not a must buy."

21 Day Fix Rotation Schedule!

Day one-Monday (Total Body Cardio Fix)

Day two-Tuesday (Upper Body Fix)

Day three-Wednesday (Lower Body Fix) or (Barre Legs)

Day four-Thursday (Pilates Fix) or (Ab Fix)

Day five-Friday (Cardio Fix)

Day six-Saturday (Dirty 30)

Day seven-Sunday (Yoga Fix)

(repeat for two additonal weeks= one round.)

Also, ten minute Ab workout can be added to any day.

In final week, it's recommended to double-up on workouts for that day.
