P90X3 Completion — Bibs and Burpees

Dec 12 P90X3 Completion

For the past 90 days the majority of my mornings have been filled with corny jokes from Tony Horton. Will I miss his terrible references to The Three Stooges? Probably not.

The workouts, however are a different story. Despite the fact that I have been doing the same workouts for three months in rotating fashion, they have remained challenging. I found myself sore when I thought I wouldn't be, and gasping for air mid-way through the workouts.

The last block is a rotation of two weeks of workouts. You do each week twice.

The only new workout in the bunch is Decelerator. There's a lot of agility, yoga, strength, and plyo moves in here. I refused to do this and then Agility X back-to-back when the week called for it. It was just too much of those bouncing/jumping moves for me, so I swapped Agility for a run.

I began to realize how much more focused on the upper body many of the workouts are these last few weeks. Sure you squat and do a dedicated leg day, but the rest of the workouts always incorporate upper body through burpees and pushups. It isn't a bad thing, but I do think my legs could use some more toning.

Doing 90 days of anything is a serious commitment. There were days that I missed because of traveling, days that I swapped for running, and days where I just couldn't bring myself to hit play. It got redundant and boring in a few places, but I pushed through. I feel like I ended with some pretty decent results too.

I feel leaner and I think my arms are returning to their beautifully toned glory. I still have some work to do around my mid-section...need to consistently get back into doing abs every day, but I think our next program (Core de Force) will help a little more with that.
