December 11, Tuesday, HY: P90X3 - Cold Start + LIIFT 4 - Legs + Quad-Challenges + TCF.
I was a little afraid of today because I haven't done legs in a long time. I usually do upper body and core, and leave the leg workout to my two days of tennis a week. But since it is part of the program and the final routine of Week 1 of this program, I'm going to do it.
Not much creativity in the moves and the pattern is set, three rounds of a few moves. The moves were the usual leg moves of Squats, Lunges, etc. But I went to a good weight on the moves and I was really pushing it and struggling. I know I got a good workout and I know I'm going t be sore for a while afterward. And since I knew it would be brutal, I started off with the best warm-up out there. X3 Cold Start. It got my whole body moving awesome.
The Quad-Challenges are starting to become more challenging. Getting up into the mid-teens in reps and I am slowing down. But the best thing is my Push-Ups are explosive now. Before starting this challenge on December 1, my push-ups were a real struggle. I was feeling so heavy. Then the challenge came into my life. The first couple of days were a bit of a heavy task, but from the third day, I was pumping them out like a crazy person. I hope I can keep it up all the way to 50 reps. So far so good.
I finished off the workout as usual, with a flow series.
In the end, I burned 843 kcals. Another nice surprise calorie burn.
