Last week we got hit by a large typhoon. It took almost three days for the affects of it to dissipate. Saw the sun for only a couple hours at the most before more clouds rolled in and we lost the sun for another few days. Today we got some intermittent sun and rain bursts. You know what kind of conditions that brings... very VERY HOT AND HUMID.
I don't like working out in hot conditions, much less humid, but today, that is what I had to put up with. I did MMX on my break (I love that about P90X3, I can actually do it on my break). The gym was so hot and humid, it was like swimming in the air. I did Cold Start, and the sweat was dripping off me after only 3 minutes. I made the mistake of bringing a long sleeve shirt, only one towel, and my small water bottle. What a mess! I did have a big fan blowing on me, but when I really got moving, I would sometimes be in the path of the wind and sometimes not. The contrast of the two positions was like night and day.
The first two rounds were fine, but sweatier than usual. Round 3 is
where two of the four moves requires sprawls. That was a killer today,
and I got my mat all kinds of wet. I ran out of water after round three.
I started over heating in the middle of round four. But I didn't want
to break up the flow of the workout so I push through. I Finally got the
last move down. I always got mixed up as to which leg is the kicking
leg and which is the counter weight. But I finally got it on the last
run and I was having a blast. My shoes were squeaking like crazy
because of the sweat on my mat and all the feet shuffles.
Standing and stretching in front of the fan, then taking a cool shower after an intense workout is like paradise! There were a couple times that I just got really hot, so I tried to keep position in front of the fan, which required an extra step to re-position after a superman punch or something like that. But if there was no fan, I probably would have passed out.
Be smart when working out everyone! Have an awesome and safe workout today!
