Day 25 and day 26 of 80 Day Obsession Workout Program
Well, Day 25 and Day 26 in the books. Another hard one, but I kinda enjoy the hard work. Yesterday was Day 25 which was leg day. If you have been following my journey, you see I kept my weights on everything the same. It was very challenging, especially the two rounds! Day 26 was Cardio Flow, which was pretty rough but I pushed through. Yes I know, I haven't really posted lately, I have been sick but I am better now.
My Favorite Moves
I would say my favorite moves of Day 25 are the squats and the hip hinges. I’m not sure why, but I can always do squats quite easily, so it’s a move that always makes me feel strong. It's hard to explain, but it’s part of my workout that always gives me joy when I finish it. I think the reason I like the hip hinge move is that it reminds me of a deadlift, which is one of my favorite moves to do. The reason I like this kind of move is that I do them so much better than I do cardio. Strength training is always my favorite part of any workout because it makes me feel so strong and I can really see the improvements. Cardio, on the other hand, is a big weakness of mine and I always do it very badly.
My Least Favorite Moves
My least favorite moves for Day 25 was the curtsy lunges and reverse lunges. Reverse lunges I have always struggled with; they kill me every time. However, I pushed through, got them done and even stuck with the weight I started with, which surprised me.This time I didn’t have to drop the weight, which made me feel so proud of myself. Curtsy lunges I also dislike; I’ve never been good at this move and adding weights just made it harder. I’m not sure why but while you are in phase one, it’s a pulsing curtsy lunge, and it's very hard but I kept the weight this time. It was really difficult to do it for three rounds. Even though it felt like torture, I kept pushing through.
So I keep my weights same, how did it feel?
As you can see in the workout sheet above, I used eight pounds for most of the exercises. I was feeling strong today, so I keep my weights the same. I didn't go too crazy because I wanted to make sure I had good form. So, for the exercises that I know, I can do at 8 pounds with correct form.. Even though that doesn't sound like a lot, I definitely felt it. It was a struggle but I pushed through and felt very proud of myself. As I’m typing this I can feel the difference in my glutes. Tomorrow will be interesting, I may well be quite sore. No matter what program you are following, whether weights, cardio, yoga, or walking, remember, never give up! In the end, it's worth it. I have lost five pounds already while following this program, and I’m looking forward to pushing on and discovering what’s possible!

I've never heard of 80 Day Obsession. I'll have to check it out! I'm between workout programs right now (just got back from traveling), so maybe this should be my next one. It sounds like we're similar -I also love squats, but hate lunges.
nice post keep it up
Congrats! Lunges and squats are both equally yuck in my book.
My wicked simple workout at the moment is just ten minutes, twice a day, of stepping up and down on the big step up to our bathroom. I'm always surprised by how much of a workout I actually get!
Awesome! Keep up the good work!
oh wow, day 25 and u lose 5 pounds! way a go!! me on the otehr hand really need to find time to make all these workouts possible. life in the office can be really busy and by the time u r done at the end of the day u get really tired and you could only want to go to bed
I love squats too and hate lunges.
I used to run only for exercise but decided to do gym this year. So far I love it so much.
Still going hard! You are doing amazing and this is really inspirational! Keep up the great work!
