My wife got a set of bands on Amazon and paper plates work just fine as sliders on my carpet. Why do renegade rows with a band when you can use dumbbells, for instance? Then again, on some exercises the did have value. From the few that I did, I tend to agree that the bands and sliders are a little overused. I haven’t done all the workouts, maybe I will at some point. I actually didn’t miss it as much as I thought I would, but it’s still odd. I was also a little disappointed that there was no post-production, because while it was originally streamed live, there was a solid 2-3 weeks between the livestream and the permanent release. It will be interesting to see if 80 Day Obsession gives more attention to the upper body, thus giving this experiment a more rounded focus.

I would say go for the week it takes to complete, but I’d be surprised if many would repeat the series given the multitude of online options available to them. While a decent week-long core workout, it doesn’t really deliver beyond a intermediate level and cuts too many corners while doing so. In total I give A Little Obsessed 3.5 Feathers out of 5. After years of workouts and scores of equipment trials, I just haven’t seen anything beat good old weights and a pull-up bar. The strength slides are certain to wind up in a thrift shop and the resistance loops may well try your patience. The tools used can be frustrating, especially for backwards old bastards like myself. Thus this is more of a fat loss program than a muscle gain one. The workouts reflect this too as while general fitness will be maintained, I don’t see how any true gains can be achieved without introducing a hybrid schedule into the mix. I completed a few days of Sagi’s BOD Exclusives prior, and it was a stark change going from a room of iron-crushing muscle monsters to dudes that have more in common with neutered tomcats. Arms are effectively given only minimal attention in comparison and I’ve noticed this same deficiency with Autumn’s other programs. Workouts are core-centric and weights never go beyond medium intensity with the exception of Legs. I was hoping someone would feed her a spoonful of peanut butter so she’d give my ears a rest.ĭemographically women in general will find this more in line with their tastes than men. Again, some will appreciate the micro-explanations. She does talk a lot, and by that I mean she does not stop for even one-half second. It’s along the same lines as Shaun Week and A Week of Hard Labor, but with even less post-production.Īutumn is a proficient trainer to be sure and clearly knows her stuff.

Music and timer bars are left out, and I get the impression that this was a quick post- 80 Day Obsession project that was thrown together to utilize the same set.

While technically good, A Little Obsessed has a made-for-TV-movie feel to its overall production. There’s a contrasting philosophy with workouts released via BOD and those available by the company on DVD. Take away the strength plates, up the weight a little and few would walk away from this workout saying it was easy.
