Lizr - Ouch! Only one of the 21 Day Fix workouts had surrenders in them, I think it was Cardio Fix. You could probably sub out a back lunge instead or whatever else your knee can handle!

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered it today. Happy belated birthday gift, lol (that's what I told my husband ). It's in the "nutrition tab" on Beachbody On Demand. There are 35 or 36 mini videos that cover the nutrition, meal planning, grocery shopping, etc. of the plan. There are also supporting PDF materials as well. I'll have to start watching the videos tonight. The cookbook and containers will be shipped. I'm hoping a ring bound log book and workbook is part of the shipment as well even though there are PDF versions available.

ETA: I hope this doesn't violate the no diet talk rules. I just wanted to list what's in the program purchase. I'm really looking forward to the updated workout videos.

Do you have to have a BOD subscription to access the program? I’m interested in this but I am not going to renew my BOD subscription once it runs out in August. Will I still be able to access the nutrition program? Thanks!

The FAQs say you don't need to have a BOD account and purchasing the Ultimate Portion Fix won't give you BOD access either. It's on a separate tab in Nutrition.

From the FAQ:
"It is also not required that Beachbody On Demand be purchased to access the Portion Fix content."

(Look in the FAQ section). HTH.

I received a Ultimate Portion Fix Workbook, Log Book, Fixate 2 Cookbook, and a set of containers in the mail. On Beachbody On Demand I can access PDF versions of the workbook, logbook, meal plan templates, tally sheets, and videos.

Yesterday was the first Live 21 Day Fix workout (which I did today since they broadcast at 9 am). I hope I got the order of the exercises right! I'll write it down tomorrow.

Day 1: Live 21 Day Fix - Total Body Cardio Fix:
Time: 32 minutes
Backgrounders: Kat (modifier), Donald, Cupcake, Cupcake's wife and three others (sorry my memory isn't what it used to be!)
Rounds: 4 (each round repeated)
Weights Used: 8 lbs.

Round 1:
Surrenders - (ugh!) (8 lb. dumbbells)
Scoot sideways twice, lower weight toward floor (8 lb. dumbbell)
Repeat

Round 2:
Cross country skier with weight pushed above head (8 lb. dumbbell)
Ski Moguls, side to side with weight (8 lb. dumbbell)
Repeat

Round 3:
Woodchops (8 lb. dumbbell)
Run, lift and lower one weight in bicep curl (8 lb. dumbbell)
Repeat

Round 4:
On hands and knees, bring one elbow and knee in to touch (30 seconds each side)
Frog crunches
Repeat

On the positive side, I love woodchops. Looking forward to this when it comes out for regular BoD subscribers.

lizr - I thought of you when she started with surrenders, lol! Ugh, I don't like surrenders either! You can probably substitute back lunges instead. I also love woodchops! I was happy she left them in there. I think you're going to enjoy the "reboot" workouts. They seem a little more "advanced" than the original because Autumn and the gang are using heavier weights.

I forgot to mention yesterday that there isn't any music (like 80 Day Obsession). I know it's important for some people. It didn't really bother me but I might take my iPad down there tomorrow and play some music for background.

I also like the warmup more than the original. It's still a minute of moves repeated for a total of two minutes (short warmup).

Donald was behind Autumn today and she has some back and forth with him which I enjoy. He's my all time favorite Beachbody backgrounder (next to Kat).

Day 2 - Live 21 Day Fix - Lower Fix:
Time: 31 minutes
Backgrounders: Same as Day 1
Rounds: 4 (each round repeated)
Music: None
Weights Used: 15 lbs. and 12 lbs. (Autumn has 12.5 lbs.)

Note: I just used my 15 lb. dumbbells for the whole workout.

Round 1:
Side lunge, back lunge
Squat, leg raise
Repeat

Round 2:
Curtsy lunge
Calf raise
Repeat

Round 3:
Static lunge (or split squat as she called it)
Sumo squat
Repeat

Round 4:
Single leg tap back
Half circle squat (pistol, side, tap back, repeat)
Repeat

Bonus Round:
Fire hydrant into side press back, lower, repeat all one side. Then do the other side (one minute each).

I was surprised the lack of music in 80do did not bother me. I tried using their spotify playlists but didn't care for a lot of those.

I did enjoy her banter w/ the other castmembers.

Can't wait to try these!

lizr - Yep, I feel the same way about the music. I'm usually concentrating so much on the move I'm doing or the move coming up to notice the music. But once I know the workout, it might change and I might have to play something on my iPad to get through. Yeah, I didn't care for the Spotify playlists BOD put together that much either. Not the type of music that I normally listen to...

Today's workout really did go fast. Donald had me laughing in a couple of parts but Cupcake's form was not that good! I'm not usually bothered by bad backgrounder form but the camera was on him doing it so I just had to look away and concentrate on myself. Autumn even called him out on it a few times, lol. But all the banter and stuff going on made the workout fly by!

They filmed the "10 Minute Abs" workout right after this workout. I didn't have time to do it this morning but I plan to try it when I can add it (after I don't have to keep adding run/walking to my rotation mix).

I used lighter weights than Autumn sometimes but could have gone heavier in some exercises but she said we were going to use lighter weights for week 1.

Day 3 - Live 21 Day Fix - Upper Fix:
Time: 34 minutes
Backgrounders: Same as Day 1
Rounds: 2 (each round repeated)
Music: None
Weights Used: 8 lbs., 10 lbs. and 12 lbs. (Autumn has 12.5 lbs.)

Round 1:
Double Arm Row - 12 lbs.
Punch up right/left, punch across right/left - 8 lbs. (I used my 6 lb. weights)
Pushups (on toes or knees)
Forearm Plank
Curl, Press overhead, return - alternate left and right - 10 lbs.
Repeat

Round 2:
Lying Lat Pull Over - 12 lbs.
Plank to T Row Up - 10 lbs. (I used my 8 lb. weights)
Chest Press - 12 lbs.
Ab Scissors
Standing Alternating Tricep Kickbacks - 8 lbs.
Repeat

Day 4 - Live 21 Day Fix - Pilates Fix:
Looks like a good 30 minute Pilates practice. I probably won't have time to list it out but you can be the judge when you try it on BOD on May 31, 2019.

I had a race to do this weekend so I'm catching up on the Live 21 Day Fix workouts. I did Cardio Fix and Dirty 30 this morning. I'll do Pilates Fix and Yoga Fix tomorrow.

I liked this version of Cardio Fix. It's similar to the original 21 Day Fix but still a little different. I liked the mix of exercises (except the mountain climbers and burpees, but it was only 4 minutes of the workout).


Day 5 - Live 21 Day Fix - Cardio Fix:
Time: 32 minutes
Backgrounders: Same as Day 1
Rounds: 4 (each round repeated)
Music: None
Weights Used: No Weights

Round 1:
Cross Jack
High Knee Run
Repeat

Round 2:
Skaters
Mountain Climbers
Repeat

Round 3:
Alternating Reverse Lunge
Burpees (no jump at end)
Repeat

Round 4:
Squat position - step right twice - step left twice (like firewalkers but with squat)
Standing Side Crunch (bringing knee to elbow)
Repeat

Bonus Round:
Elbow Plank (up, down, up down) - 40 seconds right lead, 40 seconds left lead
