6-9-15 HY: P90X3-Cold Start + Complex Lower + X3 Ab Ripper + Splits + TCF.
Early evening workout today. Got home a bit early and relaxed a bit before starting my workout. Three classes and three meetings today. Really needed to burn it out, and Tony did it.
It has been a while since I did this routine, But after looking over the worksheet, I sort of remembered it, and the style is the same as the upper one I did on Sunday so I was ready to go. Or so I thought. The majority of... the moves are compound moves so more for the money, and the burn. Knee drop squats burned out my legs from the beginning. My butt was really feeling it, too. And I only used 20kgs for all four rounds. I used the same weight for the Bounding Split Squat. I probably could have gone heavier, but I'm sort of watching my knee. But this move also burned me out. I don't have much room to do a bit lateral jump, so I am more trying to jump high as opposed to distance. The DS double L is the ultimate compound move. A Deadlift, then a Squat, then two lunges turned out to be an awesome burn on the lower body, and an energy zapper. Thank goodness the final move of the circuit is just an easy side plank... NOT. This is an extremely tiring move. The first two rounds were okay, but the last two were true trials in perseverance. I was also thankful that Tony sort of ran out of time so the last one had to be rushed a bit. I don't know if I could have held out for the slow count.
Not break, went right into abs. Although this is a short routine, it is extremely intense. And as expected, I got a good doubling over burn. And it had a few new (old, but new because I had forgotten them.) compound moves that I liked.
Quickly moved into splits and Flow. I couldn't push as hard as I wanted because of my knee. I didn't want to pop it or strain it. My Flow was solid, so I ended on a good note.
In the end, I torched a good 815kcals. Health check tomorrow. yeah... You can almost taste my enthusiasm, I'm sure.
