29, P90X3, Week 3, Day 5- CVX.
A friend said she did CVX with 10lbs. Last week I did it with 9lbs. I wanted to be like her so I grabbed my 5kg medicine ball and attacked this workout. In a word. KILLER!!! Right from the start I could notice the difference in just 1kg. I really pushed to hang, and hang I did... just barely. Although, I must admit I took an extra 10-15 seconds between each set on each of the second rounds.
I noticed that my core was really lose with the heavier weight. That became blindingly clear on the second circuit with the two twisting moves, when I move the weight from one side to the other while doing high knees. My butt was wagging back and forth. I also need to be careful to watch my lower back. Don't want to throw it out again. I was forced, if I wanted to stay stable with my body square, to really tighten my core and move the weight. Good eye-opener. I guess I was being a little lazy the past few times with the lighter weight. I guess it is a learning process. Next time, I'll try to crush it!
BTW, I was rather sore from yesterday's "The Challenge". I think my foam rolling day will be earlier if I can get to it tonight!
