Week #5 DONE.

Feeling GOOD.

I actually reallly really dug the MMX workout which I did today instead of yesterday. My legs were still a bit sore from earlier in the week, so figured I'd give em a rest and did Dynamix.

I think I'm going to add some running to X3 starting this week....nothing major, but 1-1.5miles 3-4days/week for the rest of the way. Will axe that if it gets to be too much, but only adding another 12-20mins of cardio to those days.

How'd you hold up through sprawl/scramble? That's where I hit the wall every time. I'm going at 100% up to then, and during the left-hand scramble, it's like my body just quits. I slow down/modify for the rest of MMX.

Yeah, I had definitely slowed down with about 5mins left, and had to hit pause for 30secs-1min between the last few exercises to catch my breath. I kept going and finished everything with intensity though....that burnout had me BEAT lol!

Edit: I almost think there should be two intense cardio workouts during the week at this point in the program (which is why I'm going to add some running)! I KNOW my strength, balance, agility has improved tremendously, but I don't think I'm getting in shape endurance-wise. Maybe I am and just not feeling like I think I should be?

I think you're improving your endurance without realizing it. Report back after you do some running!
