Already I’m feeling changes in my body composition, losing fat and feeling less bloated, and my energy is amazing. As I’ve been weightlifting in the gym for a few years, more reps with lighter weights have been a nice change of pace and I’m looking forward to creating leaner muscle mass compared to few reps with heavy weights at the gym, especially with the HIIT cardio and nutrition plan.
I’m looking forward to upping my weights a little on week 2 to give an even better burn. Autumn provides a guided foam roller exercise for the rest day, which is perfect for looking after your sore, worked muscles from the week.Īfter my rest day yesterday, I woke up today feeling leaner and stronger, ready to see what week 2 brings! Overall, I found the workouts fun and engaging. It’s possible my least favourite (and hardest) day of the week.ĭay 7 (my favourite day, haha!) was rest day/self care. Of all the workouts, this is the one I felt the burn the most, and where I finally felt DOMS the next day.ĭay 6 is Cardio Flow – and don’t let the word ‘flow’ fool you…there’s nothing gentle about this workout! It’s a fast paced combination of moves one after the other, then repeated.
A LITTLE MORE OBSESSED CARDIO FLOW MOVES FULL
But it was a really fun workout, with lots of variety, quite a full body workout!ĭay 5 is Leg Day, which was one of my favourite days – lots of variations on weighted squats, jumps and lunges, along with my favourite bent over hinge moves which were very similar to my much loved deadlifts in the gym. This was a tough one for the abs, lots of slider moves and as my core is one of the body parts I find is my weakest, it was a struggle. 40 minutes seemed a lifetime, but I pushed through.ĭay 4 is AAA – Arms, abs, and ass (!). Thankfully, it is broken down into smaller exercises and HIIT movements, followed by a different ab move using the sliders, which enabled me to catch my breath between rounds. I get out of breath and struggle with my endurance, which was apparent on ‘Cardio Core’ day. Although I ached the next day, it wasn’t as bad as I expected (I was able to bend down and use the stairs the day after).ĭay 3 is one I feared – although I’m used to running as my cardio, I’m not a great cardio-doer. The bands make the workouts tough, but also, you get that satisfying burn from both days. I never thought the fitness programs would be harder than the nutrition plan, but seeing as I love all the foods I’m eating, the workout part is seriously harder.ĭay 1 is a 60 minute ‘Total Body Core’ program which involves resistance bands and weights to give a total body workout, followed by ‘Booty’ on Day 2 which is also 60 minutes, focusing this time on glutes and hamstrings. Not only am I getting a great workout every day, the meal plan is totally satisfying. Week 1 is in the books and I’m throughly impressed. Having both cardio and resistance in a workout program is making me feel sore (a good sore!) and like my heart is pumping and the blood is flowing! So 80 Day Obsession is kicking my butt – I knew it would, and I love it! As someone who has always ran and done weightlifting, I understand the importance of mixing resistance training and cardio to get results.
