MONDAY - MARCH 4, 2019 - P90X2 - P.A.P. Lower
This is the start the the three week Phase Three which is primarily the two P.A.P. workouts. Today I was horrible. My balance stunk on a number of moves, especially the Step Up Convicts. I used a Step platform with four levels. I was having a problem placing my foot down into the lunge and was all over the place. I also has a lot of problems holding the side planks, but I think a lot of that was my foot slipping on the carpet. Next time I'll use a mat and hopefully will get a better grip. I'll get five more cracks at this in the next few week, so I think I'll improve.

TUESDAY - MARCH 5, 2019 - P90X2 - P.A.P. Upper
Tony says at the beginning of this workout to go for it and not be timid. I was timid going in. I was low on energy. Overall, I didn't do real well, especially on the first complex. I sed 20's on the Renegade Rows. On the first set my hands were hurting a lot when doing the push-ups off the dumbbells. I changed my grip a bit on the second set and it was a little more comfortable. I did the Plyo Push-ups off me knees. I couldn't even think of trying them off my feet today. I didn't hold any of the Plank on Medicine Balls or Superman's for too long. On the second complex I did regular pull-ups instead of the towel ones, and did 5 on each set. The second complex went much better than the first.

WEDNESDAY - MARCH 6, 2019 - P90X2 - Recovery + Mobility
Very relaxing. During the foam rolling sequence I concentrated on my back and my shoulders. I wasn't even listening to Tony. I was just relaxing. I did a few toe touches with my foot raised, but not many.

THURSDAY - MARCH 7, 2018 - P90X2 - P.A.P. Lower
I used a mat for the Step Up Convicts and the Side Bridges. On the first two sets of the Convicts I got in 6 reps in each leg, I was really stumbling, especially when my right leg was going back into the lunge. On the last two sets I got in the 8 reps they were doing, and my balance was a bit better. I didn't get to 30 seconds on any of the Side Bridges, but most were between 20 and 25 seconds. The mat certainly helped, as my bottom leg had been sliding on the carpet without it. A bit of improvement over Monday's workout.
Time: 62 minutes; Calories Burned: 555; Avg Heart Rate: 116; Intensity: 7; Form: 7.
FRIDAY - MARCH 8, 2019 - P90X2 - P.A.P. Upper
I did much better than I did on Tuesday. On the Renegade Rows my hands were hurting bad on the first set. I widened the distance on the second set to a little wider than shoulder width on the push-ups and it worked much better. I did 6 regular pull-ups on each set (instead of towel pull-ups). I aso did the Plyo push-ups off my feet this time. They were slow and ugly, but I was off my knees.
Time: 52 minutes; Calories Burned: 516; Avg Heart Rate: 123; Intensity: 7; Form: 7.
SATURDAY - MARCH 9, 2019 - P90X2 - X2 Yoga
I got started in the early evening. I was feeling pretty good and looking forward to it, as I've been usually doing strength workouts on Saturdays. Early on in the workout I just felt I was "off" a bit. This compounded quickly. During the Standing Sequences I was coming out of poses early and just standing for a few seconds before going back into it. Three or four times I actually just sat on the mat for 15 seconds or so because I was so frustrated. I finished the last 20 minutes of stretching poses OK, so that was a bit of a saving grace. I'm not beating myself up over this because there are going to be days like this.
Time: 67 minutes; Calories Burned: 449; Avg Heart Rate: 103; Intensity: 5; Form: 5.
SUNDAY - MARCH 10, 2019 - P90X2 - X2 Ab Ripper
I felt good. It went well.
Time: 16 minutes; Calories Burned: 103; Avg Heart Rate: 100; Intensity: 7; Form: 9.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 175.0 (-0.8 lbs)
Body Fat: 16.9% (-0.2%)
A bit surprising, as I know I didn't eat good yesterday, especially last night.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
The P.A.P. workouts are tough, but I think I kept up near the end of the week. I had to modify a few moves, but that's OK.
