Day 81

Week 11, Day 1 Decelerator done. I am really starting to like this one. It is similar in some respects with the eccentric workouts having the slow controlled portion with the explosive part. It does both upper and lower in the workout so you get a real good mix of exercises and you could do this on a day you don't have a workout or you just need something to work the whole body. Now if you are out on a trip or something like that and you don't have either a pullup bar or resistance bands with you, then it would be hard to do as there are 4 different pullup exercises, but other than that you don't need any real weights or accessories.

Today's workout, and I forgotten that they were in this, had big brother burpees. These burpess are more combinations on the ground portion but the jump up is nearly the same. When you go down into plank you do a pushup and bring your right knee to your right elbow, then do the same thing on the other side. After that, you do a side arm balance on the right side then back into plank and finally you bring your feet up to a squat and do your jump. When you go back into plank, you do the same thing except this time you do a side arm balance on the left side. So for each burpee you do one side arm balance and 2 crawly pushups one on each side. They are basically burpess on steroids. That is one of the reasons that I like this workout. You do moves you haven't done like those burpees and crawly plyo pushups and the first side balance pushups at the beginning which I can't do correctly. This is P90X3 so as Tony always says, "do your best and forget the rest" and I do.

I have my burpee challenge done and I have 55 pushups done for the pushup challenge and my Decelerator done as well. I will be doing at least 25 pushups in a few minutes once I finish this blog post and go sit in the hot tub and look at the snow/ice mixture from yesterday. The sun is out so it will be bright, but cold. The high today is only 26 or so. This will all be gone pretty quickly as over freezing tomorrow and rain and mid 40s on Wednesday. Right now it is 5 degrees and the hot tub will feel awesome. The trick today will be doing the ice shoveling that will need to take place. For now I feel great, but I bet I will be beat by the end of the day with the shoveling.

Tomorrow is Agility X and it will be the last time I do that until April sometime. I am going to do the 21 Day Fix after this is over so that will take me into April and I am not sure exactly what I want to do. I might do another 21 Day Fix round or back into P90X3. Maybe a little of both. I have things to decide and once I do a full round of 21 Day Fix with those workouts instead of P90X3, I will have a good idea.

Time to get cracking. Need some motivation for the day.
