The Fix Challenge is a bodyweight only workout that clocks in at 28:54. There's a lot of up and down movement where you are standing and going down to the floor. This is a layered workout.  There are a total of 13 exercises and when performed, each exercise is executed four times. For example, Autumn teaches the first move, you do it for 4 reps.  She introduces the second move, you do that for 4 reps and then before adding the third move, you go back to the top and repeat the first and second moves for 4 reps each.
