21 Day Fix Extreme Day 4 Review: Lower Fix Extreme.21 Day Fix Extreme Day 3 Review: Pilates Fix Extreme.21 Day Fix Extreme Day 2 Review: Upper Fix Extreme.21 Day Fix Additional Workout Review: 10 Minute F.Of course, Autumn is the expert, so she must know what she's doing, but she doesn't let up much in this Extreme program! I especially like the first two series.Ĥ/5 Yow! You are going to be feeling these moves! While I really do love the addition of the resistance band, if this is supposed to be an active recovery, I feel like it works a lot of muscles. It is a challenge and the time goes by quickly. You do have to use control and have good core strength-remember to practice that breathing! The leg moves, on the other hand, will have you burning and shaking! If you really have that band stretched, you will feel this!Įnjoyment: 4/5 As I've said before, I'm not a huge fan of Pilates, but I do like this workout.
21 day fix extreme resistance band length series#
I don't know how much of a recovery this is-I feel an intense burn on a lot of these moves.ĭifficulty: 5/5 Some of these moves, like the first two series aren't too tough. Opinions and Difficulty: Adding in the resistance bands to Pilates makes for a totally new type of workout and a challenge! Again, this type of exercise isn't my favorite, but I do really feel like all of my muscles are worked. Oh, my mercy, this one will do you in for sure. Hold both handles of the band and lean back on your heels while pushing your hands forward. Simultaneously lift up the arms and legs and push the band forward.Ĭamel Front Raise: get into a kneeling position with your torso up straight and tall. Lay flat on the floor, arms bent by your shoulders, legs out with knees slightly bent and heels touching. Another tough move because you really have the band maxed out here. Simultaneously lift arms and legs, contracting the back, and pushing arms out straight to the front. Superman: lay flat on the floor, legs out straight and arms bent by your shoulders. Hamstring Curl-L: repeat move, this time with the left leg. Lean back, pull your arms out to the side, pull your arms and knees into your chest at the same time and sit up. Push the handles down into the floor, breathing as you do.Ĭircle Teaser: sitting with your legs straight out, pull the bands into your chest and lift your legs up to table top, resting back on your glutes. Lay flat on the floor, legs straight, holding the band at the handles, and lower legs as low as you can while keeping your lower back pressed into the mat. Roll Downs: hold the handles of the band with legs out straight and roll the back down to the ground, one vertebrae at a time. Wrap the band around both shoes, making sure it is secure and pull up on the handles.
Series 1: Core : These moves are similar to those in Pilates Fix, but you will now be using the resistance band. In plank position, arch back towards ceiling and then push chest out towards the floor, sit back into child's pose and then stretch one arm under your body and then the opposite arm.
Walk out into plank and tap knees, alternating. Then roll down and walk out to plank, walk back and roll back up to standing. Start in a standing position and roll down, one vertebrae at a time, doing so a few times. It involves warming up the spine and practicing breathing and core control. (2:20): Another workout that has a different warm-up.
There are four of them, each move is 1 minute. Up: Just like in Pilates Fix, there are series in this workout instead of circuits. Although this is an active recovery day, you will be working!Īutumn's Inspirational Quote of the Day: "Train with a purpose, eat with a plan"Įquipment: resistance band, Mat (optional) In the Extreme, Autumn incorporates the use of the resistance band for even more difficult core, leg, and back work. Back to Pilates-this time it's in the middle of the week giving us a little break between the upper and lower body.
