“You’ve never experienced a leg day like this one before. Multiple rounds of lower-body exercises will help strengthen and sculpt every muscle from your hips to your toes.” Here, we try out Day 2 of A Little More Obsessed by Autumn Calabrese: Legs (42 minutes).

New year, new resolutions, right? Like many others, I’m wanting to embark on a new fitness routine. I have one last stone (14 lbs) that I want to lose, and this year I want to reach and maintain, my pre-pregnancy body weight.

This year I will do it!

I’m bored of doing the same old workouts over the last few years (Tony Horton’s P90X, P90X3 and his 22-Minute Hard Corps). I’ve just finished the Hell Week from the 22 Minute Hard Corps, and while browsing the Beachbody on Demand app I found the newly released A Little More Obsessed workout by Autumn Calabrese. I thought I’d give this six-day workout, with each day targetting a different area a go while reviewing my experience/progress on the blog.

Yesterday I blogged Day 1: Total Body Core, and today I’m writing about my experience with Day 2: Legs.

A LITTLE MORE OBSESSED RESULTS: DAY 2 – LEGS

I enjoyed this workout more than I did yesterdays. Although it was slow and relaxing, I did feel it gave a nice good leg burn with some of the exercises, especially the narrow to wide curtsey and the squat, lunge, curtsy reach exercises. The fact that we only had to repeat each series twice, instead of three times like yesterday, was more motivating. I’ve got the attention span of a gnat; I don’t want to be doing the same thing over and over again.

With 252 calories burned and more time spent in the cardio zone than in the fat burning zone, I felt like my time was well spent. 

The next morning: weight loss total of 400 grams. BMI down by 0.3% (as measured by my Eufy BodySmart Scale), body fat percentage down by 0.2%, muscle mass up by 0.1%.

PERSONAL THOUGHTS & OPINIONS

Although I enjoyed this workout more than yesterday’s, I still found the banter distracting. It feels like being in a group of people you’re supposed to be hanging out with, but they’re all chatting behind your back and not including you. Only the instructor has a microphone, so you can’t hear what any of the other people are saying and laughing about. It’s disconcerting.

Also, the lack of music means there are all these awkward silent pauses when Autumn is going the exercises, and then when she speaks she’s puffed and out of breath. I do appreciate that she’s actually doing the workout with the group, and I think I am spoiled after spending so many years doing Tony Horton’s workouts. He shows you the moves, then jumps in and does a couple sometimes; never the whole routine along with you. 

Still, I’ll show up again tomorrow for Day 3: Cardio Core.
