80 Day Obsession Phase 3 Total Body Core

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving into the wild world of 80 Day Obsession, specifically, Phase 3's Total Body Core. Forget everything you think you know about planks and crunches. This is a whole different beast.

Phase 3: The Home Stretch (Maybe?)

You've made it! Phase 3 is where things are supposed to click. Supposed to. Let’s be honest, by this point, you're either a finely tuned machine or you’re convinced your glutes have developed a mind of their own and are plotting your demise.

Total Body Core: A Hilarious Oxymoron

The name itself is kind of funny, right? Total Body Core? It sounds like something a superhero would yell before saving the world. More like, "Total Body Sore", am I right?

This workout is all about pulling everything together. Your arms, legs, abs, that weird muscle in your back that twinges every time you cough – everything is involved. Prepare to feel like a human pretzel attempting advanced yoga poses while someone keeps shouting encouragement (or counting reps – same difference!).

You’ll be doing things you never thought possible, like balancing on one leg while simultaneously raising a weight above your head and trying not to fall over. Graceful? Not exactly. Effective? Probably (hopefully!).

The Magic of Modifier and the "Why Am I Doing This?" Moment

Bless the modifier. Seriously. They are the unsung heroes of 80 Day Obsession. When you’re staring down a set of 15 single-leg deadlifts per side, they're there to offer a slightly less insane version.

There will be moments. Oh, there will be moments. Moments where you’re lying on the floor, covered in sweat, questioning every life choice that led you to this point. Just remember, you are stronger than you think, and Autumn Calabrese probably knows what she's doing (probably).

The Glute Band: Love-Hate Relationship

Ah, the glute band. Our constant companion. Our frenemy. It promises to sculpt the perfect behind, but delivers mostly discomfort and the occasional leg cramp.

You'll simultaneously love it and want to throw it into the nearest volcano. It's a complicated relationship. Just remember, those bands are small but mighty, just like your willpower!

Unexpected Benefits (Besides the Obvious)

Sure, you're aiming for a tighter tummy and a perkier posterior. But the real magic of Total Body Core, and really, all of 80 Day Obsession, is the mental fortitude you develop.

You learn to push past your perceived limits. You discover a resilience you never knew you had. And you might even develop a grudging respect for your own body, even when it's screaming at you to stop.

Plus, you gain a whole new appreciation for rest days. Trust me on this one.

The Post-Workout Glow (and the Inability to Walk Normally)

That post-workout glow is real. It’s a mixture of endorphins, exhaustion, and the sheer relief that it’s finally over. Savor it. Embrace it. Brag about it on social media (we all do it!).

And don't worry if you can't walk down the stairs without wincing the next day. It's a badge of honor. You survived Total Body Core.

So, there you have it. Phase 3, Total Body Core: a challenging, rewarding, and occasionally hilarious journey into the depths of your own physical and mental strength. Now go forth and obsess (responsibly, of course!).
