Beachbody 80 Day Obsession - All the Way Through

[Kathy G]

I restarted Beachbody 80 Day Obsession yesterday. It's a BB On Demand only program that was filmed everyday for 80 days. I'm going to try to use this thread to keep me accountable to finish the program! I'll list the exercises for each phase and the times for each workout. Each phase repeats the same exercises for (4) weeks but the amount of reps and rounds change.

Day 1: Total Body Core - Time: 60 Minutes

Each exercise is done for 15 or 16 reps and there are two rounds.

Equipment needed: Weights (light, medium, heavy), Resistance Loops (yellow, green, blue), Mat (optional).

Series 1 Shoulders:
Squat Rotating Shoulder Press
Lateral Bear Crawl
Spider Loops (plank/alternate pulling in with band on foot)

Series 2 Back:
Bent Over Row (single/single/double)
One Hand Renegade Row with Twist (using loop)
Boat Pose Lat Pull (using loop)

Series 3 Chest:
Push-Up Leg Lift w/Loop
Chest Fly w/Leg Lift (dumbbells and using loop on legs)
Side V Loop Kicks

Series 4 Biceps:
Staggered Stance Bicep Curl (dumbbells and loop on legs)
C-Curve Crunch w/Weights at 90 degrees
Side Plank Knee Pull

Series 5 Triceps:
Tricep Kickbacks: Single, Single, Double
Single-Arm Loop Extension
Tricep Push-Up

I won't be doing the timed nutrition but loosely following the 21 Day Fix containers for Plan B. My goal is to finish before the Cathe Roadtrip the end of July 2018. I'm also running a couple of half marathons and a 10 mile race in the same time period so I'll have to fit run/walking into the rotation.

Day 2: Booty - Time: 60 Minutes

Each exercise is done for 15 or 16 reps and there are two rounds.

Equipment: Resistance Loops (yellow, green, blue), Mat (optional).

Glute Bridge w/loop
Bridge to Clam w/loop
1st Position Bridge w/loop

Series 2 Quad Ped:
Straight Leg Lift w/loop

Series 4 Standing:

Series 5 Moving:

Series 1, 2, and 3 are on the floor and series 4 and 5 are standing.

I took measurements and weighed myself (ugh!) just for comparison. My main goal is to tighten this menopause mid section! I'll post an update after each phase.

Kathy,

I really liked the Booty workout in the first phase! It didn’t seem hard at the time, yet I felt it very much the next day and it definitely firmed everything up. I admire you doing this in addition to training for races. I also walk or run/walk every day in addition to doing the workouts, but not at the same intensity as when preparing for a a 10K (let alone a half-marathon ) Please keep us posted on how you are doing. Good luck!

I've been previewing some of these workouts on BOD. She seems a little less, um, annoying lol than she was during 21 Day Fix.

If anyone wants to read more, here’s a huge thread on this - pages and pages.

In all three phases of 80DO the booty were my favorite workouts.

[Kathy G]

Thanks Lori! Yes, the Booty workout surprised me! It was more challenging than I thought it would be!

Rhonda, lol she's like Tony...good in small doses although I find her less annoying than him most of the time. I think you'll like this workout series!

Thanks Joni, I was going to continue on that thread but it was pretty long so I started this one, hope everyone doesn't mind!

horusosiris, yes Booty is much more enjoyable than some of the other workouts like Cardio Flow.

Day 3: Cardio Core - Time: 40 Minutes

Equipment: Sliders

The format of this workout is:
30 seconds moderate HIIT (jump rope movements)
30 seconds HIIT (higher impact)
Repeat three times
Core exercise with the sliders for (10) reps
Rest for up to 30 seconds – next series
After you complete all (6) series you do a run through of all the core exercises once for (10) reps each.

Series 1:
Single Leg Skip Rope (alternate legs)
Single Leg Squat Jump
Core: Slow Mountain Climbers with sliders (10 reps)

Series 2:
Heel Skip Rope (alternating leg front)
Football Run
Core: Plank Pike (using one slider – 10 reps)

Series 3:
Jump rope with Heels Up (alternating legs)
Frog Jump w/side rotation
Core: Side Plank (using one slider –slide bottom leg forward – 10 reps)

Series 4:
Jump Rope (4 high knees – 4 butt kicks)
Kamakazie Skaters (skaters that are done in a “l__l” pattern)
Core: Side Plank (using one slider – slide top leg forward – 10 reps)

Series 5:
X Jump Rope (criss/crossing legs in front)
Standing Mountain Climbers (high knees/move arms in rope climbing motion)
Core: Plank Knee Pulls alternating sides with sliders – 10 reps)

Series 6:
Jump Rope Knee Cross-Over
Squat Jump
Core: Plank Circle Teasers with both sliders (pull leg across then back/do mogul to same side)

Finisher: Complete all core exercises once though for (10) reps each.

I wouldn't consider this an intense cardio workout (maybe it gets harder in Phase 2 and 3). The hardest part for me were the core moves on the sliders. I had to do the modifier move in the side planks. This is my weak area that needs the most improvement. I'm hoping by the end my core will be a lot stronger!

Oh, there is a modifier in all the workouts. She does a great job of modifying either the impact, range of motion, or uses a lighter weight.

Day 4: AAA - Time: 49 Minutes

Each exercise is done for 15 or 16 reps and there are two rounds.

Equipment: Weights (light, medium, heavy), Resistance Loops (yellow, green, blue), Sliders, Mat (optional).

The workout is done in a 1 count concentric (contraction) – 1-2-3 count eccentric (negative) for all the moves.

Series 1:
Upright Row
Bent Over Fly
Frog Sliders
Glute Bridge w/Loop

Series 2:
Push-Up
Skull Crushers
Weighted Ab Sit-Up
Knee Plank Heel Press with sliders

Series 3:
Bent Over Row
Hammer Curl
Knee Tucks with sliders
Fire Hydrant

This workout is like a bootcamp workout in that you alternate upperbody/core/glute exercises. It's one of my favorite workouts of Phase 1. Autumn used 5, 8, and 10 lb. weights but next week I will bump them up on some of the exercises. I'm not gonna lie, the core slider exercises were the hardest for me. Ugh, I struggled A LOT but I could do all of them without following the modifier.

Tonight I have to run/walk 3 miles on the treadmill at the gym after work. I have a half marathon on Sunday so this is my "rest" week before the race. I'm sure this will be one of my slowest (if not THE slowest) half marathon I've ever done. I didn't train enough and my longest run/walk was 11 miles a couple of weeks ago. Ugh, but I'm going to do it anyway since I already registered.

[KateTT]

Wow Kathy that's awesome! Thanks for posting that. I have been kind of watching the workouts but haven't decided if I wanted to try them. I didn't care a whole lot for her in Hammer & Chisel but she seems ok in the 80DO previews I've seen.

Your comments have helped me decide. I'm just finishing an STS rotation. Maybe after that I'll dive into 80DO.

Thanks!

[Kathy G]

NP Kate! I love STS, it's one of my favorites. I may do that after I'm finished with this program! I think you'll like 80 DO, it's a nice change up. I just hope I don't get tired of the same moves for a month. I made it to the second week when it was first released but I missed doing Cathe Live!

Day 5: Legs - Time: 46 Minutes

Each exercise is done for 15 reps and there are two rounds.

Equipment: Weights (light, medium, heavy)

Series 1:
Reverse Lunges
Squats
Curtsy Lunges

Series 2:
Sumo Squats
Front Diagonal Lunges
Twisting Back Angle Lunge

Series 3:
Single-Leg Good Morning (no weights)
Hip Hinge (deadlift – knees bent/stop at mid shin)
Buddha Squats (similar to her Surrender move in 21 Day Fix)

This is my favorite workout of this phase. All the moves were what I've done before but the order and pace was really good. There was enough time between moves to get a sip of water and towel off but not so slow that the workout dragged. I did all the moves without modifying except the second set of Buddha Squats. I could feel my "bad knee" tightening so I decided to modify so I wouldn't end up hurting myself.

Speaking of hurting yourself, lol...the VF men may want to stop reading. I was wearing an older sports bra for Cardio Core and I must have pulled a muscle in my chest from the impact.

I stopped running for two years and put on an extra 15 lbs. (on top of the 15 lbs. I was trying to lose!) I never had this issue before! I ran/walked on the treadmill last night and aggravated it MORE before I realized what was causing the discomfort. This morning I "double bagged" and it felt much better. I'll have to go shopping for something with more compression tomorrow for the race on Sunday. Ugh, sorry probably TMI I know, lol.

I thought I'd mention it for people thinking of doing this program without modifying the impact.
