Upper Fix Extreme Workout - 21 Day Fix Extreme
I just finished the Insanity Max 30 Challenge and so I am currently doing HYBRID WORKOUTS and decided to try the Upper Fix Extreme from Autumn Calabrese's newest workout program, the 21 Day Fix Extreme.
The workout has you using a couple set of weights (one set of light weights, and another set of heavy weights), as well as a resistance band which is not included in the program unless you purchase the deluxe program. If you don't have resistance bands, you can get them here.
In my opinion, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, but like anything, it's all in how hard you push yourself. This was my first time doing this workout, so I was simply trying to figure out what they were doing and making sure that I was doing the exercises correctly which is very important. I actually didn't even have a band with me at the time, so I substituted the band movements with a variety of pull ups. That's the one thing that I would say is a negative about the 21 Day Fix Extreme Program, there are no pull ups. When I begin my 21 Day Extreme Challenge, which I plan to very soon, I will most likely incorporate the pull ups into some of the band exercises.
There are two nutrition plans: the Extreme Nutrition Plan, and the Countdown to Competition Plan, I plan to do the latter which is really focused on carb depletion and helps get you super lean.

COOL DOWN
I really like this workout because it works out the whole upper body. If you like pull ups, I would recommend doing a variety of different pull ups instead of the resistance band exercises. You can do one pull up variety the first 30 seconds, then switch to another pull up variety the last 30 seconds.
