July 10, P90X3, Week 9, Day 5 (Block 3)- Triometrics.

I came about this close {Holding right index finger and thumb about 4 inches apart} to taking today off because I am feeling a bit under the weather. Realistically, I knew I wasn't going to take a day off, but I did feel like doing so. It was just a matter of finding the hook to get me off my butt. I teach a night class on Thursdays and yesterday, the leader of the class suggested moving the class to another night because of the typhoon that was on top of the prefecture at the time. I wrote back saying that tomorrow the typhoon will have passed us by and it wouldn't be an issue but if they wanted to move the class I was okay with it. The leader finally wrote me back to say that we would have the class. That was the hook I needed. I wanted to get my workout in before going to work, so I got ready and did my workout.

Once I started, I felt a lot better. The only thing that reminded me that I was not feeling well was the fact the my lungs were producing phlegm and I had to cough some up every so often. But the last 15 minutes or so were cough free.

I was planning to modify and take it easy, but once I got started, I couldn't modify, I had to bring it. The program is motivation in itself. I sweat out a lot of crud and I feel a lot better. I just boosted my body with a whole lot of good stuff.

The one modification that I did do was on the Slater Squats. On the final level, instead of doing the high knee jump, I just did the high reach jump. Other than that, I brought it on every move.

I started off with Cold Start and worked out for a total of 50 minutes. I burned an even 500kcals. Which is good, because it tells me that I'm not that sick at all if even a little. If I was sick, my heart rate would have been a lot higher and would have burned more calories. But 500kcal for this workout is average. So I'm very happy and am more than ready to go teach my night class.
