“You’ll target your glutes and hamstrings with this lower-body workout that’s designed to help you sculpt a stronger, firmer backside.” Here, we try out Day 5 of A Little More Obsessed by Autumn Calabrese: Booty (45 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, P90X3and 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.
I’ve already blogged my experience with Day 1: Total Body Core, Day 2: Legs, Day 3: Cardio Core and Day 4: AAA. Today I’m sharing my experience with Day 5: Booty.
Each series in this workout consists of three moves with fifteen reps, repeated two times.

A LITTLE MORE OBSESSED RESULTS: DAY 5: BOOTY
This felt like another rest day. The Beachbody on Demand app lists resistance bands and sliders as recommended (but not essential), but without those, you don’t get any sort of decent workout with this routine. They are very much essential.
The moves were very easy to follow and keep up with, but the workout only burned 192 calories over 45 minutes.
The next morning: the scales went up 400 grams (nearly a pound!), and this is despite a 1086 calorie deficit. So demoralising 🙁 Weight loss total since I started the program = 600 grams; BMI down by 0.2% (as measured by my Eufy BodySmart Scale), body fat percentage down by 0.3%, muscle mass up by 0.1%.
Tomorrow is Day 6: Cardio Flow.
