MONDAY - SEPTEMBER 28, 2015 - P90X3 - Isometrix
This one is just cruel, especially for somebody that has no balance. The plank exercises are hard to hold for 45 seconds, and even harder to get good form. The standing balance poses are tough for me because of my bad ankles. I can hold some of the ones on my right leg, but on my left leg a 5 second hold is almost an accomplishment. It's just not there.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 201; Avg Heart Rate: 110; Max Heart Rate: 127.
TUESDAY - SEPTEMBER 29, 2015 - P90X3 - Dynamix
This is similar to Isometrix in ways, but instead of holding poses for a long period of time (45 seconds), you're moving parts of your body for 30 seconds at a time. It was a bit easier for me than yesterday's workout, but still nowhere near perfect.
Time" 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 173; Avg Heart Rate: 106; Max Heart Rate: 127.
WEDNESDAY - SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 - P90X3 - CVX
Much better than the first 3 times I did this routine this round. I used an 8 lb medicine ball again. I didn't really "dog" any of the moves (except not going to the floor on the Atlas Twists). I held my arms up the entire time in the Press Jack's, March and Reach's, and Chair to Lunge's. A good workout. For some reason the calorie burn was real low. My heart rate monitor might not have been functioning properly.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 224; Avg Heart Rate: 136; Max Heart Rate: 157.
THURSDAY - OCTOBER 1, 2015 - P90X3 - X3 Yoga
I did OK on this one. In the balance poses, my balance was pretty good on my right leg, non-existent on my left.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 108?; Avg Heart Rate: 104; Max Heart Rate: 119.
FRIDAY - OCTOBER 2, 2015 - P90X3 - Pilates X
I tried my best, but on some of these moves, like The Pretzel, I'm simply not flexible enough to pull them off.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 87?; Avg Heart Rate: 102; Max Heart Rate: 116.
SATURDAY - OCTOBER 3, 2015 - P90X3 - MMX
The one thing I'd remembered about this workout was all the sprawls. It took me a bit of time to get the coordination down on some things, but I did OK. On the sprawls, I went a little slower than those on the video, and near the end I actually went to Child's Pose when I couldn't get up doing the second side of one of the sprawl moves. But I actually did better on them as a whole than I thought I was going to.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 236; Avg Heart Rate: 125; Max Heart Rate: 143.
SUNDAY - OCTOBER 4, 2015 - REST
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 205.2 (+0.8 lbs)
Body Fat: 23.8% (no change)
A bit of stress eating again.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
I liked the routines for the most part. Isometrix was tough, but the others were relaxing. The two cardio routines went well. Not happy about the weight gain, but it's something to keep an eye on.

P90X3 - ROUND 2 - WEEK 3 - WEEK OF 09/21/2015
MONDAY - SEPTEMBER 21, 2015 - P90X3 - The Challenge
My numbers were 5 and 25. Some problems with pullups, but I got them all in. No problems with the pushups.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 209; Avg heart Rate: 114; Max Heart Rate: 213.
TUESDAY - SEPTEMBER 22, 2015 - P90X3 - Agility X
Not perfect, but I did OK. I'm getting used to some of the moves, so I can move quicker on those. On others, I'm simply not coordinated, especially the jump lunges.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 229; Avg Heart Rate: 119; Max Heart Rate: 147.
WEDNESDAY - SEPTEMBER 23, 2015 - P90X3 - The Warrior
Once again I must say that this shouldn't be that tough of a workout, but it is for me. The sprawls are killers.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 240; Avg Heart Rate: 123; Max Heart Rate: 198.
THURSDAY - SEPTEMBER 24, 2015 - P90X3 - X3 Yoga
No balance today. Frustrating, but that's the way it is sometimes. I wanted to get the workout over and done with, so I'm sure that had a bit to do with it. Plus I've been stress eating the last few days, so I'm not feeling really lean and flexible.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 187; Avg Heart Rate: 108; Max Heart Rate: 123.
FRIDAY - SEPTEMBER 25, 2015 - P90X3 - Total Synergistics
Another less than stellar workout. Poor effort on my part. I'm felling sluggish becasuse I'm not eating well. I'm stressed about day to day things, and this isn't my favorite workout. All that adds up. I even quit early on the Crawly Plyo-Pushups just because I didn't feel like doing any more. I usually don't give up like that. Eating better will cure a lot of this.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 267; Avg Heart Rate: 119; Max Heart Rate: 199.
SATURDAY - SEPTEMBER 26, 2015 - P90X3 - CVX
The first set of this thing is a bear. I went full blast with the Press Jacks, using an 8 lb medicine ball, and I was gassed. I can't say it was a great workout. I stopped for a few seconds a number of times, and didn't really do too many of the advanced moves. Again, I was feeling sluggish, and didn't always push myself. I'm often wondering "Why am I doing this?".
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 253; Avg Heart Rate: 127; Max Heart Rate: 155.
SUNDAY - SEPTEMBER 27, 2015 - P90X3 - X3 Ab Ripper
I got this one done early. I used a mat this time and it went a lot better, as my feet weren't slipping on the carpet. I got all the moves in,
Time: 15 minutes; Calories Burned: 82; Avg Heart Rate: 110; Max Heart Rate: 132.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 204.4 (-1.0 lbs)
Body Fat: 23.8% (-0,2%)
Both were good losses. After week after week of weight gains, I've lost a bit in 3 consecutive weeks, I need to keep that up.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
The workouts weren't very good, but I'm happy with the weight loss. Next week is a recovery week with a lot of stretching, yoga, Pilates, etc. I'm looking forward to it.
My numbers were 5 and 25. Some problems with pullups, but I got them all in. No problems with the pushups.

P90X3 - ROUND 2 - WEEK 2 - WEEK OF 09/14/2015
MONDAY - SEPTEMBER 14, 2015 - P90X3 - The Challenge
My numbers today were 22 pushups and 5 pullups. No problems with the pushups. Got all the pullups in too, but had to come down a re-grip a few times. All in all, I felt pretty good. I even got in 10 sets (30 pushups and 10 pullupsa) during the Burnout.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 219; Avg Heart Rate: 121; Max Heart Rate: 196.
TUESDAY - SEPTEMBER 15, 2015 - P90X3 - Agility X
This one went OK. I felt good, but am not coordinated or as agile as I'd like to be. Not sure I ever will be, but it's a way to keep working at it. I even tried to get in some of the plyo pushups at the end. I din't get too low on them, but I didn't give up, either. I've actually been pretty happy with the last several workouts.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 252; Avg Heart Rate: 119; Max Heart Rate: 148.
WEDNESDAY - SEPTEMBER 16, 2015 - P90X3 - The Warrior
Once again, better than last week. I wasn't expecting myself to crash. I was going hard until I couldn't go no more. The sprawls were killers. I remember being dead tired when doing the Fifer Scissors after a set of sprawls, barely being able to get my shoulders off the ground.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 240; Avg Heart Rate: 125: Max Heart Rate: 151.
THURSDAY - SEPTEMBER 17, 2015 - P90X3 - X3 Yoga
I was actually looking forward to this one today. It was my best yoga workout in a long time. My balance was way above average (for me), I was relaxed, and it felt good overall. I'm very, very happy with the way things have been going.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 215; Avg Heart Rate: 109; Max Heart Rate: 127.
FRIDAY - SEPTEMBER 18, 2015 - P90X3 - Total Synergistics
I played golf today, so I was a wee bit tired going into this. I did well, certainly much better than last week. Workout-wise, this has been a real good week.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 306; Avg Heart Rate: 128; Max Heart Rate: 191.
SATURDAY - SEPTEMBER 19, 2015 - P90X3 - CVX
I was tired and sluggish most of the day and wasn't looking forward to the workout. Once I got going my attitude really didn't change. I really didn't feel like pushing myself on a lot of the moves, so I didn't. I'm a bit disappointed, because all the other workouts this week went well, but at the same time I'm not going to beat myself up over it. Those days happen.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 320; Avg Heart Rate: 129; Max Heart Rate: 149.
SUNDAY - SEPTEMBER 20, 2015 - P90X3 - X3 Ab Ripper
Not too good on this one. I did it very late on Sunday. I was thinking of skipping it, but I don't do that. I couldn't hold all the Dolphin Hops and Sphinx Planks. Other moves were so-so.
Time: 15 minutes; Calories Burned: 90; Avg Heart Rate: 109; Max Heart Rate: 224.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 205.4 (-0.2 lbs)
Body Fat: 24.0$ (no change)
A small decrease, but I'm not looking at that as a total positive. I could have eaten better.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
Mondays through Fridays workouts went very well, but I kind of gave it back over the weekend. I'm not happy about not sustaining it. Much of the sluggishness was dur to poor eating, and that's something I should be controlling.
My numbers today were 22 pushups and 5 pullups. No problems with the pushups. Got all the pullups in too, but had to come down a re-grip a few times. All in all, I felt pretty good. I even got in 10 sets (30 pushups and 10 pullupsa) during the Burnout.

P90X3 - ROUND 2 - WEEK 1 - WEEK OF 09/072015
MONDAY - SEPTEMBER 7, 2015 - P90X3 - The Challenge
It's been a month since I finished Body Beast. I had a lot of things going on near the end of the summer, so I planned to take that time off and start P90X3 today. My weight is at the heaviest in years. I can feel it at times, so I really need to concentrate on my nutrition.
Today was The Challenge, which is 30 minutes of Chest and Back. Because I haven't done concentrated pushups or pullups in many. many months I decided to start light and targeted just 4 pullups and 20 pushups. I hit each of those numbers although it was a struggle on a few of the sets. I came off the pullup bar after 3 reps a few times, but got back up and finished the set. 4 sounds like a real low number, and it is, but I really struggle with them, even after doing them for a while. All in all, I was happy with the workout. I think I'm going to be sore at some point, probably on Wednesday.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 231; Avg Heart Rate: 118; Max Heart Rate: 212.
TUESDAY - SEPTEMBER 8, 2015 - P90X3 - Agility X
I enjoyed this one today. I tried going hard when I could, but still don't have the footwork down. I remember that happened the first time I went through this workout. The Plyo Pushups at the end weren't happening.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 303; Avg Heart Rate: 123; Max Heart Rate: 147.
WEDNESDAY - SEPTEMBER 9, 2015 - P90X3 - The Warrior
This one should be easier for me than it was. A rotation of Upper, Cardio, Middle, Lower moves. I pretty much sucked today. I'm not back in shape yet, and it humbled me.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 294; Avg Heart Rate: 123; Max Heart Rate: 150.
THURSDAY - SEPTEMBER 10, 2015 - P90X3 - X3 Yoga
I checked my workout logs and the last time I did a yoga routine was in November 2014. Needless to say I wasn't very flexible, but I did enjoy it.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 198; Avg Heart Rate:107; Max Heart Rate: 124.
FRIDAY - SEPTEMBER 11, 2015 - P90X3 - Total Synergistics
Once again, I was terrible. No strength or endurance at all. It's frustrating, but I'm doing this to get all that back.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 291; Avg Heart Rate: 125; Max Heart Rate: 202.
SATURDAY - SEPTEMBER 12, 2015 - P90X3 - CVX
I felt pretty good when I woke up this morning, so I got this one done early. I wasn't as sluggish as I'd been the last few days. I still struggled a few times, but overall my endurance was much better.
Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 303; Avg Heart Rate: 129; Max Heart Rate: 152.
SUNDAY - SEPTEMBER 13, 2015 - P90X3 - X3 Ab Ripper
Got it done early again. I did quite well for the first time doing this in a year and a half. My range of motion wasn't great in some areas, but I got all the moves in. I'm happy with the last two days.
Time: 15 minutes; Calories Burned: 113; Avg Heart Rate: 143; Max Heart Rate: 220.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 205.6 (-1.6 lbs)
Body Fat: 24.0% (-0.1%)
It's a start. I didn't eat perfect, but was at least conscious of things.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
