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...

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
