May 26, P90X3, Week 3, Day 2- Agility X

May 26, P90X3, Week 3, Day 2- Agility X.

Third time going through this workout, one would think that I should remember the moves, but for some reason, I don't. I still had to watch them do it first, then rewind the DVD and then start. I'm getting the Cold Start down pretty well, but the individual workouts are still tough to remember.
Again, I really tried to push as far as my body would let me and keep my form all good. Something I'm starting to realize is that my posture is somewhat off. I mean, when I check the angle of my back leg on lunges, it is not straight. So when I try to straighten my position, my knee starts to tweek. I don't want to be crooked, but I don't want to hurt my knee at the same time.

The moves have been pretty easy to do, per se, but doing them for an extended period of time is killer. Case in point. Scissor Kick Jumps, Plyo V Lunge. Having to turn in mid-air to get the cross is really challenging. Jump Knee Jump. Killer. And for some reason, after doing the Long Jump Sprint, I was so winded, I had to take a minute to catch my breath before doing the last move. And on the last move, I couldn't hang. Had to stop several times and go on my knees.

Some of the more intense moves, like Toe Tap Skater, and Triangle Lunges. I have to really struggle to keep form, especially when going forward on the TTSkater, and when transferring from the side lunge to the back lunge in the Tri-lunge. Again, trying to adjust and find just the perfect position to keep balance is an intense process.

Great workout out. I'm averaging 500kcals now per workout. Plus whatever I burn in Cold Start and my own cool down. I won't see this workout again until BLOCK 3. Sad, but It will be interesting to see if I'll be able to hang the next time I do it. BRING IT!!!
