July 28, P90X3, Week 12, Day 2 (Block 3)- MMX.

Not 100% recovered from the previous days lack of sleep, but a lot better. Oh, and with regard to my summer cold, I'm at about 95% there. Still have a semi-chronic dry throat which causes a cough, and that is about it. I'm going to get to be early to bed tonight and see if I can't kick everything within the next couple days.

MMX was awesome. I started with Cold Start, the move into the routine.  I blew round one and round two out of the water. In return, I was totally winded and the 30 second break after round two was not long enough to catch my breath, so I took a little longer. Round two is the toughest with two moves that have sprawls. I really felt connected with the moves today and the flow was a lot smoother than it has been in the past. In round three, I am so thankful for move three, Push Kick/Snap Kick. I love that move because of its movie feel and because it give a little break before move four.  I really pushed it today to keep up with Tony and his team.

I had to take a longer break after round three also. I was just so winded. But I love the Superman Punch in the first move of round four. The Jab/Cross/Sprawl/Scramble had to be modified because of space, I can't go around, so I went left and right with a little bounce in my movement to make up for the smaller lateral movements. Move three was a great break and then my favorite move, Gladiator/Sprawl/Jab/Cross/Hook/Uppercut. Such an awesome move and so much fun! AND such a killer move. I had to take a little breather before the burn out, and I was dying after that, too!

This is probably one of my favorite cardio workouts. I am planning a trip to the US in September and this is one of the leading workouts to take with me to do while there. 

When all was said and done, I burned over 700kcals in today's workout. Not my pace today, but Tony's and it was a killer pace. And so much fun!
