August 2025 - Workouts - What I did.

August 2025 Workout Rotation

At the beginning of the month I was still nursing a low back injury. So I tried to stick with  yoga, Pilates, mobility and low intensity low impact workouts.  Half way through the month, the back started feeling better so I added in some modest weight workouts.

Autumn Calabrese A Little Obsessed - Thoughts

Image
  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 exe...

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
