If you’re a fan of Autumn’s 21 Day Fix programs, you’re going to love what is coming in April 2023!
Are you new to Autumn’s workouts?
Well, we guarantee you’ll love her 21 Day Fix Super Block too! Keep reading to learn more.
So What Is a Super Block?
By now you’ve probably heard of BODi Blocks — 4 new programs that start on the first Monday of every month.
Each Block features 5 workouts a week for 3 weeks, followed by an “UP Week” (which stands for “Unconditional Progress”) to reset and recover.
A Super Block is when one of the BODi Super Trainers remake one of their most popular programs in the BODi Block format.
This is your chance to revisit your favorite programs — like 21 Day Fix or T25 — with new workouts, new playlists set to popular music, and an entirely new experience.
It’s all about giving you more of what you love, plus a little push to get you where you want to go.
Why are Blocks such a breakthrough?
They’re based on block periodization, a proven approach to exercise and recovery that challenges you without overtraining.
Your life is busy. Pretending you’re going to work out every day and never eat a cookie is silly.
So, we’re ditching the perfection mindset and bringing you new programs every month that you can actually stick to because they work with real life. Really.

Super Block April Spotlight: 21 Day Fix with Autumn Calabrese
What Is the 21 Day Fix Super Block?
It’s everything you love about 21 Day Fix — now in a Super Block!
Super Trainer Autumn Calabrese has remade her megahit program using the proven block periodization structure, with new moves and popular music.
How Is It Different From Other 21 Day Fix Programs?
The workouts are similar to 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Real Time. The moves are new, but the structure repeats over 3 weeks so you know what to expect.
She’s designed it so you’ll make progress each week as you gain confidence, push harder, increase your weights, and get stronger day by day.
What Kind of Workouts Can I Expect?
You’ll work your body from head to toe in this Super Block.
Autumn is bringing back your favorite 21 Day Fix — you’ll get your heart pumping with two days of cardio-focused workouts and help sculpt your muscles with 3 days of strength-focused training.
Autumn also created an optional 5er Ab Fix workout that you can do twice a week for an added burn, plus 3 bonus Cycle Fix workouts you can swap in on cardio days, or whenever you want an extra workout.
What Kind of Equipment Do I Need?
You’ll need light, medium, and heavy dumbbells. A mat is optional.
How Do I Know if 21 Day Fix Is Right for Me?
If you’ve worked out with Autumn before, you know that she’s going to bring the heat — and the fun.
She’s dialed in the right combo of resistance training and cardio and added her signature motivation and tough love to push you to reach your goals, whether you’re just starting out or you’ve worked out for years.
Don’t worry if you’ve never done a workout with Autumn.
She makes sure this Super Block will work for you. Every workout has a modifier, so no matter your fitness level you can follow along and feel great.
How Does Healthy Eating Fit Into This Super Block?
She makes it simple to eat all your favorite foods in the portions that work for you, and you get plenty of delicious recipes so you’ll love every bite.
The color-coded containers take all the guesswork out of eating, and you won’t be asked to count calories or cut out food groups.
There are a few ways you can access this Super Block — and unlock a second Super Block at the same time— for free.
For starters, you can purchase a Total-Solution Pack or Completion Pack (The Essentials Collection is the perfect choice to build your Health Esteem routine) in March or April.
You can also unlock this Super Block and a second Super Block with your purchase of a qualifying nutrition subscription in March or April.
What if you already have a qualifying nutrition subscription? If you renew your subscription in March, you’ll unlock the 21 Day Fix Super Block for free.
However you choose to unlock your access to this Super Block, a BODi membership is required.
I am looking for 10 test group participants!
Now that you have all the details of the new super block coming soon let me ask you:
ARE YOU WILLING TO COMMIT TO 21 days with me and join my April 21 day fix BODi block group?
Within the group, we’ll focus on nutrition & mindset as well. I’ll help you create your full proof health esteem system that will last you a lifetime.
I’ve been using these programs for 9 years, beginning with my 2nd postpartum journey and I’m so excited about the mindset component being added to our extensive library of live classes, programming that’s proven to work as well as nutrition programs that are created by registered dietitians & nutrition experts!!
Can you commit to 30 minutes 5X a week and just focusing on becoming 1% better every day?

I won’t lie, I love my sweets, I love chocolate and I love to EAT!
But I also understand that food is fuel, too much sugar is detrimental to my physical and mental health AND all food should actually TASTE good not just be good for you!
I’ve also learned the older I get the more important adequate protein is for my body on my quest to age gracefully!!!
Enter: MY DAILY BROWNIE BATTER PROTEIN BOWL
I’ve been enjoying these bowls for over 6 months now and its the most requested recipe on my social media and I am finally responding and putting it together for you!
What you need:
1️⃣1 scoop nutrient dense superfoods (I went with chocolate but honestly any flavor will do) 2️⃣1 scoop post workout recover protein (again…🍫🍫🍫) 3️⃣1 tbs-ish of your favorite nut butter (currently obsessed with costco mixed seed nut butter) 4️⃣ Collagen 5️⃣ Almond milk (or your favorite milk)
Optional: chia seeds, flax seeds, granola, berries and/or bananas and other toppings
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Here’s where it gets tricky – you need to add enough milk to make it the consistency of batter. I don’t measure 😜 just don’t over do it or you’ll be eating chocolate soup 😜 I’ve never actually measured it but you’ll get the picture once you start mixing it up!
Simply top with your favorite granola or fresh fruit and thank me later 💋💋💋

For now and for the next 14 or so years…August is going to be synonymous with the summer wind down and back to school!
This means a lot of different things to many of us.
For me – this year- it’s the start of Preschool for my son, Kindergarten for my daughter, Soccer practice, gymnastics, swim lessons, work travel, team trainings and more.
There are so many areas in life that I could come up with excuses as to why I don’t have time to exercise or eat healthy.
They are all legitimate excuses too…
*I was up all night dealing with night terrors
*My 3 year old decided potty training was for the birds
*The lack of a summer schedule is creating little monsters at bedtime as we prepare for the next transition *I don’t have time to eat healthy
*I don’t have money to eat healthy
*I’m traveling
*My husband is traveling…
And the list goes on and on and on…
But here’s the deal – those are all just EXCUSES. And I’ve learned through experience…you can have EXCUSES or RESULTS – but not both!
From Day 1, these 30 minutes I give myself have been what allow me to give to others.
Its not selfish to make time for a 30 minute workout and my goal is to teach you HOW I do it and have consistently done it to turn it into a balanced, sustainable LIFESTYLE.
If you’re ready to toss the excuses and you’re looking for RESULTS then I invite you to my next challenge group – BACK TO SCHOOL BACK TO YOU!!!
And if you’re worried about eating “rabbit food” – forget that one too…You will not be hungry!!!
)ne of my favorite combos
We will begin on August 22nd and enrollment is open now!
If you’re already anticipating those busy weeknights with homework, after school practices, early weekend games and are thinking there’s no way you’re going to be able to squeeze in some “ME” time – then I ask that you accept this challenge!
Allow me to help you with your meal planning, toss in some new crockpot ideas, focus on the prep work and figuring out just how 30 minutes can be found in every day through our online support group!

FIRST COME FIRST SERVE.
LIMITED NUMBER OF SPOTS AVAILABLE.
Sea salt (or Himalayan salt) and ground black pepper (to taste; optional)
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:**
1. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add onion, bell pepper, and sweet potatoes; cook, stirring frequently, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until onion is translucent and sweet potato is tender-crisp.
3. Add turkey; cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until turkey is cooked through and sweet potato is soft.
4. Add garlic and thyme. Season with salt (if desired) and pepper (if desired); cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
——————————————-
* I doubled this recipe. I love green peppers and onions so I added 3 of each yet instead of doubling the sweet potatoes I only did 3 of those.
** My pan was not big enough for the double recipe so I actually cooked the veggies in one pan and the turkey in another and then combined and simmered the last few minutes.
*** Note: The serving size provided was 3/4 cup for the containers listed above providing 4 servings – however I found my recipe when it was said and done to have nearly 1.5 cups for 4 servings yielding 1 yellow, 1 green and 1 red. Use your best judgement!

I’ve had a lot of people ask me about the next program I am going to complete.
I spent December – February rocking out to Hammer & Chisel (8 week program and 4 weeks of the Chisel guide) followed by 8 weeks of 22 Minute Hard Corps…so the big question is – what’s next?
This is honestly a tough one for me…and I’ve been thinking a lot about it.
At first, I was going to jump right into the 21-day fix. With summer fast approaching I know this program will get me to where I want to be. Its my “soulmate program”. The one that got me hooked on living a healthy balanced lifestyle and the one that helped me lose those post baby pounds!!!
Then I thought about PIYO. I’ve done this the last two summers and enjoy ditching the weights and using my own body weight to work myself towards new boundaries and find new strengths. It challenges me in a new ones – one like no other program and I get to combine my love of yoga with fat & calorie burning low impact cardio!
But when I got down to picking something to kick off with tomorrow – I opted for the dabble route!
There are so many amazing workouts at my finger tips with Beachbody On Demand through the Club Membership and I LOVE the change up. New trainers, new workouts, new muscles, new soreness, new results. I thrive on training my entire body and switching it up. And while the 21-day fix gets me there…I like the variety too and options available on demand!
On Demand offers a Challenge Du Jour so you can still “follow a program” but switch things up too! And honestly – that’s what I love about my home workout programs! I have the ability to choose what to do when to do it!
I have some of the best fitness trainers in the world at my fingertips to help me reach my goals!
But no matter what program I follow – the KEY is the nutrition.
I adapted the portion controlled “system” nearly 2 years ago and it has become my way of life.
Yes I sometimes veer of course.
Yes I splurge.
Yes I make mistakes.
And yes there are those really rare days that I just plain old eat like crap!
But I live and learn and move forward. So matter what tune I am exercising too – I will be fueling my body with the foods that make me feel like supermom…afterall – don’t we all need a little extra super powers here and there!!!
Tomorrow kicks off my DROP 10 Challenge and I want to invite YOU to join ME and a few other ladies as we prepare for the launch of SUMMER and finding that inner confidence to look and feel good this summer!
As a busy mom, I know how hard it can be to devote any set amount of time for yourself. Most moms are too busy taking care of all the housework, the kiddos and their ** amazing hubby’s ** to stop and think about prioritizing themselves for one minute…
But…I’m here to tell you – its an investment worth making!!!
When I started to devote 30 minutes to daily exercise
When I started to plan out my family’s meals and eat the foods to fuel my body
And when I started surrounding myself with other women – other moms who had similar struggles as me but also similar goals as me – I started to get RESULTS!
I saw how this regular exercise improved my mood – how eating the right foods increased my energy and how support can really pick you up after the worst of days.
It started with the commitment to a challenge group almost exactly 2 years ago today!
I decided I was ready for that change and I have never looked back and it has been my mission to help others experience what I have experienced – from the inside OUT!
To experience feeling comfort in their own skin, pride in the bod they’ve been blessed with by God and confidence to be the mom they want to be!
My LOVE YOURSELF FIT accountability group is now open and I am looking for *5* other women who need to love themselves again! Let me help you help yourself ❤
This group is a private online support & accountability group where work together to find the right program to help you reach your goals.
Each participant is required to replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology.
My goal is to teach you BALANCE. How to choose the right foods in the right portions to FUEL you throughout the day. I will share various tips and tricks to help you stay motivated and on track to meet your goals!
Each day you will “check in” to the group. Some days include an action item, some are more food for thought, recipes, motivation etc… but the key is you hold yourself accountable to that daily report on your day! This is the key – this is where the results come into play!
FITNESS + NUTRITION + SUPPORT = SUCCESS
I would love to have you in my next group! Please fill out the application below and I will be in touch right away!
Here’s the real deal – I actually love pancakes but I have a hard time putting anything into my body that has ZERO nutritional value! So I put a halt to the classic pancakes a while ago but I have found the best solution: Mancakes! They’re a gluten free combo of: Oats, egg whites, berries, banana and naturally flavored with some pure extracts and cinnamon!
They’re filing, no need for syrup, and my 2 year old insists on them DAILY – #mommywin!
Now: The only downside is – they take FOREVER to cook! Partially because when I make them I made a quadruple batch (which yields around 32-35 pancakes) and I don’t like to dirty more than one pan – but nonetheless – time is precious!
My husband and I both had these on our WEEK 1 HAMMER & CHISEL MEAL PLANS and I decided there was no way I could stand and flip that many cakes!
So I whipped up this little Mancake Berry Bake this week and it tasted like a blueberry muffin and I’m kind of thinking this is going to be my new thing!
The consistency is dense -like a cake/muffin but full of flavor! I’ve been enjoying these post-workout/Recovery shake for Meal #1 followed by my shakeology. This has been working these last four days to keep me energized and full after these intense Hammer & Chisel Workouts!!!
WHAT YOU NEED:
2 Cups of Oats
16 Egg whites (2 small cartons or one large)
1 Cup of strawberries (frozen are a-okay!)
1 Cup of blueberries (frozen are a-okay!)
1 banana
3 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp almond extract
Walnuts (optional)
Coconut oil
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth (you’ll see some oats but that’s okay!!!) – Now in my first go at these I forgot to add my blueberries – so I sprinkled them throughout and baked – I feel like this gave them more of a “muffin” feel opposed to blending them all together! But my little guy prefers them blended smooth!!
Pour into 9×13 baking pan (I prefer the foil toss pans – easy in and easy out!!! Don’t forget to spritz with olive oil or coconut oil first!)
Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. Make sure you test the center so its cooked fully (note: using frozen fruit may prolong the baking time 10-15 minutes)
Break into 4 pieces and now you have 4 breakfasts ready to go!
I have them planned out to give me: 1 Yellow, 1 Purple and 1/2 Red with each serving. The walnuts would be counted as a blue if used!
Why the 1/2 red? Because I am missing my post dinner sweet treat and what I found is that I can shake 1/2 a scoop of chocolate shakeology with some ice cold water to finish dinner and I no longer have that urge to much 🙂
If you’re looking for some new recipe ideas, or meal planning tips or maybe just some accountability to stay ON TRACK especially when times get tough – then join my next online Health & Fitness accountability group! My next group is now forming and I am looking for more women who would benefit from the support network and accountability of achieving their goals TOGETHER!
Who’s ready to join me July 18th for my 4-week Love Yourself SUMMER Kickstart Challenge?
But no matter what program I follow – the KEY is the nutrition.
