July 31, P90X3, Week 12, Day 5 (Block 3)- Pilates X.

If you recall, the first time I did this routine, I said I didn't like it that much. I can officially say now, that I like this workout. 

Today was the first time that I actually felt comfortable with the breathing. I force the air in and out, but I don't make the hissing sound. I was able to move a lot better than previous times. The moves that killed me in the past were actually more doable today. Namely, "Bad Attitude". Before, I wasn't able to get my thighs off the ground, but today, I was able to do that, plus, add a little hold, a VERY little hold, but a hold none the less. I was actually a bit surprised at that.

The Pretzel is still challenging, but I was able to keep up with Tony today and end at the same time as he did. Again, a first. I was very happy that I could keep up with Tony for most of the routine. A few times, I had to watch the move before doing it then rewind, but aside from that. I kept up fine.  Give me more confidence for the next time. There is still the space issue so I wasn't able to do some of the more spread out moves very well, but that comes with the territory of a small workout area.

Feeling refreshed and relaxed. All in all, burned 350+kcals in this workout! Not a bad day's work.
