May 23, P90X3, Week 2, Day 6- The Warrior

May 23, P90X3, Week 2, Day 6- The Warrior.
Today was rather different from last week. First off, I knew today was going to be a double day so I made a concerted effort to get to bed a little earlier than usual. But before going to bed, I put the Cold Start and The Warrior onto my iPad because I don't have a DVD player at the gym. I got up early and went to the gym and did the Cold Start and The Warrior. I was able to hang until the Super Burpees.killed me. I pushed it hard, but only lasted 30 seconds before I had to take a breather. The other moves were great. I think this is one of my favorite workouts because it doesn't repeat the moves, and I love the variety of the moves. The combo of upper body, cardio, and core is a great systematic approach to the routine. It forces us to push when we can push and then raise the intensity when we can, namely, the core moves.

In the next moment I played a tough match of tennis. At first, my legs were like rubber. Warming up was tough. I just couldn't get my legs under me. But as I was getting into it, my energy started coming back. Great match, with some great games and rallies. I mean, so major knock down bang up hitting all out rallies. So much fun, and those awesome rallies just energized me more. Final score, 6-3, 6-1, 6-2. There were 5 games that I fell behind 15-40, but I came back to win in 4 of those games. Good scrappy play. Tons of fun!

Total calorie burn 1600+kcals in over 2 hours of P90X3 and Tennis! Totally great way to end the week!
