July 8, P90X3, Week 9, Day 3 (Block 3)- The Challenge.

I asked for advice yesterday concerning today's workout time. I decided to go ahead and do my workout after getting home tonight past 8pm. I eventually started my workout at 8:30pm and finished a little after 9:20pm. I did Cold Start and then I had to take a little extra time before the pull ups in the second half of the routine.

When I got home I didn't really feel like working out. Don't get me wrong, I didn't feel like NOT workout, I just didn't feel very motivated. That is when habit kicked in and I just went into auto-prep mode and changed clothes, put on my HRM, got my water, and went up stairs. Before I knew it I was popping in the DVD and I heard Tony yawn.

The Challenge was a tough and great as ever. I went down two reps from a month ago just in case from 12 to 10 pull ups, but I stayed at 25 for the push ups. 10 was just the right number, in the later sets, I was really struggling on the last rep, and even cheated a bit with a kip. But the push ups were solid. I probably could have gone up to something like 28. Next time, I will. But I was feeling rather tired today from work, so I think I make the right decision on that number.

I got some ouchy callouses on my hands from all the pull ups and chin ups. Love those battle scars! As usual with The Challenge, I got an AMAZING pump and burn. Really looking forward to tomorrow's X3 Yoga!
