P90X3 Day 5 – CVX Workout Review (And Why My Arms Were Too Tired to Run)

Today was my 5th day of P90X3...the accelerated workout that is supposed to give you results in 30 minutes a day. I thought this was a good idea last week. However, after completing my 5th day, I'm beginning to have my doubts.

I just keep reminding myself that
it will pay off in the end

Today's workout was called CVX (Cardio Vascular Extreme). It was like a toned down version of the original Plyometrics, only you use weights for the entire workout. I used a 5 lb. weight for the first 15 or 20 minutes but had to switch to a 3! What a weenie!!!

S-O-R-E!!!

After HS and I finished the workout, I headed out for a short run (HS followed on the bike). I have never said this...in fact, it really doesn't even make sense... but my arms were too tired to run!  LOL

On the plus side, my cadence was almost right where I wanted it (was shooting for 180) although my stride length was shorter than on Tuesday (probably because I was running slower).
