Half Turkish Row to Push Up (I would attempt to explain this but I’m trying to block out the memory!).

Never did such a small movement cause so much core work!)

Saw on Sliders (sliding back and forth on the sliders.

holding a squat and with a band on the wrists, pulling the arms back to the chest)

Burpee Sliders (actually a lot more fun than they sound!).

As with all the strength workouts, the rep pattern changes week to week: today involved 10 reps of each move, with each series completed 3 times back to back before moving onto the next. Each round involves two moves focused on the specified body part, then one core move. Other than the ever more complex and compound moves, the structure is the same as in previous phases: 5 rounds, focused on the shoulders, back, chest, biceps, and triceps respectively. And it’s one of those workouts where, once you get through, you feel very pleased with yourself and like every inch of your body has been worked and you’ve burnt a million calories, so that’s nice! This time, I’d got the hang of it a bit more, so though I was still screaming at the screen at times, I could at least appreciate its cleverness. Honestly, on my first run-through, I was struggling to keep up with the choreography, never mind the physical challenge, and I got a bit frustrated. And then there are things like Triceps Push-Ups with Knee Tucks on Sliders or Surrenders to Shoulder Press. That’s before you get onto the core moves, which were also very challenging, particularly on top of the core getting hit quite hard in moves predominantly focused on another body part. Just that one move, repeated a few times, feels like it would give you a fairly solid full body workout. All of these things are taken to extreme here, and they meet their absolute high point in the glorious horror of, wait for it, Half Turkish Get-Ups to Push-Ups, either half of which would be enough to challenge me. As well as in the way all the strength workouts are structured to both keep your heart rate up and burn out your muscles. Throughout Phase 2 – and even more so in Phase 3 – Autumn has been really quite cunning in the way she’s created both full-blown compound moves and little add-ons to isolation exercises to really work you all over. And I say that as someone who is definitely better at strength workouts than cardio ones and who loves a good total body workout.

Okay, having now battled my way through it twice, I can categorically say that in a tough field, Phase 3 Total Body Core is the toughest of all the 80 Day Obsession workouts.
