I just don't have the discipline to make myself work out at the same time every day by myself. Knowing my CrossFit community and coaches are expecting me to show up keeps me accountable. Having to be at my gym at a certain time for class forces me to make it a priority. Although the idea of having that flexibility is awesome, in reality, it made it so much harder for me to stick to it - I'd never be able to do it long-term. I know I said a benefit of the 80 Day Obsession is that you can do the workouts any time. I prefer my CrossFit schedule of Sunday, Monday, Thursday active rest and Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday work out. I also wasn't a fan of the six days straight of workouts, even though they focused on different body parts, with the one day of rest. Even though the 80 Day Obsession workouts do get progressively harder, nothing compares to holding a barbell, climbing a rope, or using a rower. I definitely didn't push myself nearly as hard as I do at my gym.Īlthough the workouts were challenging, and I was left huffing and puffing and sore the following day, they weren't nearly as intense as CrossFit workouts, and I didn't like that. I missed my gym! Although Autumn is upbeat and I felt like I had my own personal trainer working out in the basement with me, it in no way compared to the energy and inner drive I have when working out with my fellow CrossFit peeps. But 80 Day Obsession is still so much less expensive. You also need the Resistance Loops ($15), Strength Slides ($30), and Foam Roller ($30), so that adds on an extra $100 at least. Of course, you need to buy dumbbells (those can be pricey and you'll probably need three pairs of light, medium, and heavy). For a six-month Beachbody On Demand membership, it costs $59 ($9.84 per month). For a six-month unlimited membership at my gym, it costs $895 ($149.20 per month), and I have access to all equipment. The cost is also much cheaper than CrossFit. I also loved that we used resistance bands and sliders (these were my favorite for ab exercises!), which I rarely use in my CrossFit workouts, and made me realize that they're both great pieces of equipment to keep in my home gym. She's fun but also a hard-ass, and it inspired me to push myself, even though I was working out alone. Since they were only 60 minutes tops, it saved a ton of time compared to the half hour it takes me to drive to my CrossFit box, do the hour-long workout, and the half-hour drive home.Īutumn Calabrese's energetic, positive, and encouraging coaching style was extra motivating. I was able to fit in workouts before the kids woke up or after they went to bed. I really couldn't beat the convenience of being able to do the workouts at home at any time of the day.
