A similar exercise is done with weights in 21 DF Dirty 30. This exercise is tough on the core, though, and I was definitely feeling that. It’s hard to do the exercise and try to look at the screen at the same time. I wasn’t sure I was doing this correctly as far as the loop form. One hand renegade row with a green loop: We got into a tripod high plank position and had to put the loop under one hand while pulling the loop in a row with the other arm toward the armpit.I am familiar with mountain climbers, so this was not bad, and actually, I much prefer this version to the mountain climbers in 21 DF Cardio (which liked to kill me). We crunched each leg, alternating legs, for 16 total reps. The loop was placed around arches of feet and then we got into high plank. Slow loop climbers with a green resistance loop: I have never used loops and don’t know what the resistance level is like with each one, so I started with yellow (lightest resistance).weight, which was my heaviest weight in 21 DF. I may need to up my weights for this move in 80 DO, as I only used an 8 lb. This move was not difficult for me because I am so used to lunging in the other workouts. We then held the lunge and twisted (from the core) to one side. Reverse lunge with a twist: This move involves doing a reverse lunge while holding one heavy weight and pushing the weight out in front.

The Moves: As I said, the workout consists of ten moves, each repeated 8 or 16 times depending on whether they are done on one side at a time or with the full body all at once. As you’ll see in my review of Booty day, Autumn changed this in the next workout. In Total Body Core, we did each move one time through, then we repeated the entire sequence of ten moves for a second set of reps. I think I prefer the reps method, to be honest. Unlike in 21 Day Fix, the moves are counted in reps as opposed to by time (one minute per move in 21 DF). The Format: This workout consists of ten exercises. This was a pretty standard kind of warm-up and is perfectly adequate to get the heart pumping and the muscles loose.

This consists of a series of brisk but manageable moves like jumping jacks with arms straight up in the air, side steps with high knees, arm circles forward and back, twists to each side, some hip flexor and side stretches, low side lunge stretches side to side, and finally, a squat with a hamstring stretch series. The Warm-Up: The warm-up for Total Body Core was about 3 minutes long, and Autumn mentioned that it’s the same as the warm-up for Phase 1 of 80 DO. I had three sets of weights: 3, 5, and 8 pounds. As this is the first routine with loops, she also has us check each loop for microtears before we get started. The Intro and Prep: Autumn lists the equipment we need for today: a set of light, heavy, and medium dumbbells and all three resistance loops. I will say that some of the ladies in my group recommended buying the Beachbody loops based on experience with loops of lesser quality. I ordered my resistance loops with the 80 DO challenge pack and haven’t used any other loops, so I can’t comment on whether others would work as well. All of the workouts use weights and resistance loops. This week I have finally begun the five-day prep program for 80 DO, titled “A Little Obsessed.” I will do a review of each day of the workout with some info about the moves, the difficulty level, and my personal reaction to the workouts.Įach of the workouts in “A Little Obsessed” is 30 minutes long, including a brief warm-up and cool-down. They were all sorry to see the program end when the finished! That said, I was intimidated that I wasn’t strong enough yet after hearing how hard-core the moves are and how people use supplements and self-care regimens to recover from the work-outs. I loved Autumn Calabrese’s training style in the Fix workouts and felt encouraged by the results the ladies in my accountability group were getting. While I was in my last round of mix-and-match workouts, I decided to sign up to be a coach and to start 80 Day Obsession but had to wait for my equipment to arrive. Since then, I’ve been mostly following the container plans but more loosely. On the first round of 21 Day Fix, I was pretty strict with the nutrition plan, though I did have a couple days where I splurged somewhat on one meal. I did two rounds of 21 Day Fix (6 weeks), and then I spent a few more weeks mixing Fix workouts with routines from 21 Day Fix Extreme, Piyo, Clean Week, and Shaun T’s Insane Focus. For my first couple of weeks, I sampled workouts from different programs, and then I settled on 21 Day Fix and joined a challenge group.

Backstory: In mid-February, I began a free trial of Beachbody on Demand, which gives access to hundreds of workouts as well as nutrition plans and recipes.
