![]() ![]() There is a bicep curl crunch in this workout, you sit on the ground and crunch back holding a dumbbell at forehead level. The core work is really good too because it incorporates your arms. My favorite strength workout of phase 1 would have to be AAA. At the end of each workout I feel so accomplished because I would rather be running. ![]() But they are so hard for me which is why I love to hate them. Well okay, cross training is all important, but cardio workouts train your lungs in a different way and require a quick turn over in a different way than running does. My least favorite workouts are the cardio ones, however those are the most important ones when it comes to running. I’m looking forward to the new warm-up and the exercise switch up. I took a sneak peek at the tracker and we start moving into some more compound moves this phase. Today is booty day and word on the street is we get to use weights. Heading into phase two we get all new exercises, same format with reps and sets but all new exercises. They never know what to expect so it is very unlikely to plateau. ![]() Thank goodness the program is written this way because mentally, I can play so many games with this structure. Except we change it up even more and you work the eccentric muscle contractions one week. Same concept as the other weeks I talked about. You guessed it, three sets, 10 reps each. You do 90 reps each block and it’s a killer! Week 4 was my favorite week to hate because on booty day becomes the day of 90. Week 4 was another 2×15 week (to measure progress and bookend the phase) but instead we completed each block of work two times through. In week 1 we completed every exercise then went back through them all again. Fifteen reps of each exercises, two times through. Even though it’s basically the same workouts, we change how we perform the workouts each week. I like that because then you can master the moves. once you get to 10 complete each 10 two more times through.Įach phase has their own set of exercises. 10 exercises, start at exercise one, then two, then one-two-three, then one-two-three-four etc. Legs – need I say more? We also do core work with some of the leg exercisesĬardio Flow – pyramid style workout. At the end of the workout you complete rounds of just the core exercises.ĪAA – stands for Arms, Abs & Ass (sorry mOm) – each block of work has an arm, core and booty exercise & you use weights and I think sliders Cardio Core – 60 seconds of HIIT exercises followed by core work with sliders. Only resistance bands are used and this is one of the toughest workouts of the week. Total Body Core – works all muscle groups & uses bands, sliders and dumbbells The 6 workouts don’t change throughout the program: just being able to squeeze in my 30 minute workouts. The hour long workouts were rough getting use to. Each workout is typically 45-60 minutes long. Phase one was 27 days long with 6 workouts a week. BUT….I don’t have anything to really worry about.Ĩ0DO is broken down into three phases and peak week at the very end. Not saying whatsoever that doing this program will make you pregnant, no exercise program in itself can do that. Not going to lie, now that I’m postpartum again and the pattern has been, I’m a little nervous. I’ve started it twice, once when I got pregnant with my angel babe, and then I started after my miscarriage but got pregnant with Anna. The workouts are longer, you are working with specific sets and reps instead of going for time, and it’s 80 days long! I haven’t committed to anything like that in a long time. I knew this workout program was going to be tough. This program is known for building core and booty strength which are 2 of the 3 major muscles needed for running. The hybrid calendar was awesome to get back into things but a longer program is where I see progress. I’m so glad I went with this program instead of jumping around. ![]() April 1st I committed to an 80 day strength training program to start building a base for half marathon training. Friday night at 10:00 PM I wrapped up phase one of 80 Day Obsession (80DO). ![]()
