Time flies when you’re getting fit!
February 12th! It was winter outside, but things were heating up inside! It was GO TIME for phase 2 of 80 Day Obsession! Another four weeks of working toward a total body transformation. With a new phase came a re-ordering of the workouts and the moves were all new too. And guess what?!? So was my soreness. I am not one to take baths – but during this program I have taken more baths than I have probably in the past 15 years. When the trainer says self care is important, take her and me seriously!! I’m all about the foam rolling and stretching and release “workouts” as well for self-care.
80 Day Obsession workouts!
Because we’re working small muscles — muscles that we don’t normally work, we need to make sure that we’re paying attention to what our body is trying to tell us!
Fact! We spend so much time sitting that a lot of our booty muscles never get worked. After getting done with phase 2, I know I have woken those booty muscles up for sure!
Proper form is SO IMPORTANT! With every move, I reminded myself to take the time to protect my lower back and my knees. Home workouts are so convenient and also because you have access to the trainer that walks you through every move! Sometimes it’s like she knows when my form was lacking — and she also reminds us to breathe. Lol
Something unique about this program is that the trainer did the workouts live during filming along with the cast — it’s so fun to hear them chatter as they’re going through the same experiences and feeling the same pains!
Weekly Obsession!
At the end of each week, the cast previews the next week. I loved the Weekly Obsession videos to hear how they felt about the past week and what was going to be coming up in the week ahead. Here’s an episode for you!
80 Day Obsession Food
For phase 2 in the food area, I really had gotten the hang of the timed nutrition planning and prepping. In fact, I kept it simple and eat the things that I knew I liked. Here are a couple of my Phase 2 meal plans.
All during phase 2 I decided to stay on plan C (for me this was a maintenance plan) and I was able to maintain my scale weight, get leaner and see some results in my waistband.
During Phase 2, we had a REFEED DAY. That’s a chance to have some “dirty carbs” to restore the glycogen levels in the muscles. This was before leg day, so we got an energy boost for those workouts. I went for Panera French baguette and these chocolate peanut butter balls for my refeed day!
The phase 2 workouts were the same amount of time -from 45 to 60 minutes – and the 5:30 am workout time, with the 4:30 wake up call definitely left me feeling tired at the end of the day. After listening to the trainer, I realized she was right! We need to make sure we’re getting enough rest because guess what?! – – that’s when our muscles are repairing themselves and a lot of the work is being done.
My favorite workout is still AAA! You get to work all the areas and total body core is my second favorite. The Phase 2 version of cardio flow was just as surprising as it was in Phase 1 — I’ll just leave it at that and you can find out for yourself when you join me in later April for my round two!
