Autumn Calabrese A Little Obsessed - Thoughts

 A Little Obsessed is a 5 Day program that is touted as an intro to the longer 80-Day Obsession program. Both programs were created by Autumn Calabrese.

A Little Obsessed consist of five 30-minute workout. The workouts are:
Day 1:  Total Body Core
Day 2:  Booty
Day 3:  AAA
Day 4:  Cardio Core
Day 5:  Legs

These are on-demand workouts. The whole system comes online including program material (nutrition plan, tracker sheets, workout calendar and a spotify playlist). None of the workouts have music. Autumn tells you to download the spotify playlist.
Also, none of the workouts had a timer, countdown clock or subtitles.  I am used to that with BeachBody workouts and I missed that.

The warm ups are the same for each workout. The workouts have a beginner modifier.

In Day 1:  Total Body Core, there are 10 exercises. You do all 10 exercises for 15 reps per exercises.  Then you repeat all 10 exercises for a second set.  The exercises are a combination of total body exercises and core abdominal exercises.  This workout uses dumbbells and resistance loops.


In Day 2:  Booty, there are 8 exercises.  You do two exercises for 15 reps and then you repeat the exercises before moving to the next group of two exercises. This workout uses resistance loops and dumbbells. 

In Day 3:  AAA, you are working your arms, abs, and your backside.  It is pretty much a total body workout.  Discs sliders, resistance loops and dumbbells are on the equipment list.  There are 9 exercises. You do 3 exercises back to back and then repeat the 3 exercises before moving to the next group of 3.  In this workout, Autumn emphasizes working the negative.


In Day 4:  Cardio Core.  You are mixing cardio exercises and core exercises.  There are six rounds. In each round you are doing two cardio exercises (one of moderate intensity and one of high-intensity) for 30 seconds for three rounds and one core exercises performed for 10 reps.  Resistance loops and disc sliders are used in this workout.


In Day 5: Legs. There are 9 exercises. You perform 3 exercises back to back  and then repeat before moving on to the next group of 3.  Each exercise is perform for 15 reps.  Dumbbells and disc sliders are used in this workout.


Total Body Core - 3 & 1/4 stars
Booty - 3 stars
AAA - 3 stars
Cardio Core - 3 & 3/4 stars

Image
The Pro-Form 600 LT Treadmill is HSN and Pro-Form 2011 model treadmill. Each year HSN brings out a new Pro-Form model to sale. On the HSN website the treadmill is called Pro-Form Step Up Personal Trainer Treadmill. The price of this treadmill is $699.95 and the Shipping & Handling is free. I have had this treadmill since May. Assembly is required. It took me and another about an hour, maybe a little less to put it together. The instructions are fairly detail and everything went together as it should. I had the 2007 model of this treadmill, but I like the advertised upgrades so much I decided to get this one.

Tony Horton P90X Plyometrics - Thoughts

Image
Plyometrics .  This means you are jumping. This means high impact. Although there were some none or low-impact exercises. The workout is about 59 minutes. The warm is about 9 minute and 30 seconds. Like the other P90X workouts that I have done, Plyometrics uses rounds as well. There are two rounds in which you are doing 4 exercises. The exercise are performed for either 30 or 60 seconds. After each round you get a water break. At the end of the workout, there is a bonus round that includes three exercises that were sports specific. The workout concludes with a 5 minute stretch and cool down. I am including a worksheet of the exercises. This is my least favorite of the P90X workouts that I have done thus far. Plyometrics just felt long.  Although I did think the soundtrack was very good and I burned a lot of calories. Equipment - towel, heart rate monitor 3 stars

Tony Horton P90X Legs & Back - Review

Image
This is my second week of P90X workouts and it starts with disc 5, Legs & Back . There are 22 exercises.  For every two leg exercises, there is one back exercise. So the pattern is - do two legs and then 1 back exercise. There are a variety of legs exercises but all the back exercises are pull up/chin up exercises. There is a cardio warm up followed by a stretch.  Then you move into the 22 exercises, each of which has a time associated with it. Sometimes you are doing as many reps as you can and at other times, Tony gives you an exact rep number he wants you to perform.  A stretch cool down concludes the workout. While I was sore after this workout and felt the challenge, I really didn't care for a lot of the exercises in this workout. The workout clocks in at around 59 minutes. Equipment used:  pull up bar,  bands, weights. 2 & 3/4 stars
