June 3, P90X3, Week 4, Day 3- Accelerator.

First time to do this workout. From the name I assumed it would be cardio, and I was right. All the moves are basic moves, but again, with a twist. Again, a lot of planking, but moving fast and changing directions a lot.

For the first 5-8 moves, I was hanging pretty well, doing the medium speed, then the fast speed. But about 10 minutes into the workout, I started to loose steam. Some of the moves like the 9. Spin Stops, I had seen before in P90X: PlyoX, but this time it was of 60 seconds straight, not 30 seconds. That is a huge difference. I couldn't hang the whole time, and had to sit one rep out to catch my breath.
Move 10. Plank Walkers was also difficult for me, not only because it was hard and I had to come down on my knees, but because I have a very small space so I could only move about half a meter in any direction from the middle starting point. Move 12. Plank Circles was the same story. But I couldn't had the whole minute.

I officially LOVE the move 20. Donkey Kicks! This is such a great move, and a lot of fun. It was like a move I had seen a lot of hip hop dancers do, but I DO NOT dance. But alas, I could not hang, and had to take 1 rep breathers here and there, but I finished strong with the last three. I think I bothered my son who was studying in the next room with my grunting and groaning.  Brought it hard today!
