June 27, P90X3, Week 7, Day 6- MMX + Tennis.

 

It was raining buckets this morning. But surprisingly, I didn't not want to get up. I actually followed through on my plan to get up and start my workout by 9am. Usually I'd poo poo around and then end up starting closer to 10am, but today actually went off without a hitch.

 

MMX is HOT!!! Love this workout! All the moves and rounds went really well. The only two moves that gave me a little trouble was the one that has the crescent kick, and the last move with the Gladiator. Those two moves I had to rewind and start after making sure of my left and right. However, this is the best I ever did with the final move. I had to really focus with my right leg forward, but got it and was able to keep up with the team when my left foot was forward. Only once did I have to take a quick pause to make sure which leg I needed to raise first. I was also able to start with Cold Start so I was feeling great and loose.

 

The only bad thing was that I forgot a towel so I was having some major "Sprinkler" action.

 

I started early and finished well before tennis was to start so to keep loose, I shot some hoops. Years ago, the basketball was heavy for me to shoot from beyond the 3-point line, Now, I have to think to control the power. Really nice feeling to have to do that.

 

Due to a semi-major schedule change we had to play a shortened session today. So both of us came out swinging. That is great in the fact that we get into a groove a lot faster, but bad, in that there are more unforced errors at the beginning of play. I was, for the most part, striking the ball well, but was a bit over eager and made a lot of errors. But I really got into a groove by the second set. But the pace at which I was playing sort of took a toll on me and I got a little tired in the third. Final score, 6-4, 6-0, 6-3, 1-2. Usually we would have played another 45 minutes or so, but as I said, shortened session so barely was able to finish a third set and get into a fourth.

 

Total calorie burn for today, 1600+kcals. Great way to end Week 7 of P90X3. Looking forward to the Transition week next week. Have a great weekend everyone!
