July 3, P90X3, Week 8, Day 5- CVX.

 

It has been a month since I did this routine last in block one and I was thinking, "Ah, how nice, I get to do something old and easy." Famous last words.

 

I used my 5kg medicine ball which is about 12lbs. I was totally dying near the end of the first move, Press Jacks. The front of my shoulders were burning by the middle of the third move, March and Reach. Then I had to do it again.

 

In the second rotation, I had to take an extra 10-15 seconds between to catch my breath. By the third rotation, Tony slips in one non-weighted moves which is super for recovery and I was able to get my second wind. From that point on, which is basically the second half of the workout, I didn't take any extra breaks. But I doubled over when needed. The little recovery non-cardio moves, such as Crescent Chair, are perfectly placed and allowed me to continue to the end.

 

Although I did start with Cold Start, and added a total of about 7 extra minutes catching my breath. When the cool down was all finished and I was drinking my coconut water to replenish my lost electrolytes, I had burned over 700kcals!

 

Such a great workout!
