P90X3 - CVX Workout

Today's workout of the day was P90X3 - CVX. This was a BEAST workout that consisted of cardio while using a piece of weight. You can use any kind of weight from a dumbbell, basketball, medicine ball, sand bag (pancake) etc. Trust me when I tell you this, the weight does not have to be heavy at all, anywhere from 5lbs to 12lbs max. You laugh now, but I don't think anyone could do this 30 minute workout with a 12lb. weight without stopping! I did it with a 10lb dumbbell, and it was TOUGH!

This P90X3 CVX Workout is perfect for obstacle course race training because it's about high intensity cardio with weights, which is similar to running with sand bags, and buckets of rocks which is a typical obstacle at a Spartan Race. Whether you are training for a Spartan Race or a team challenge such as a Tough Mudder, this workout is something that you should incorporate. Heck, I highly recommend doing the whole 90 Day P90X3 program with some running, if you do, I promise you will see some great results as an athlete.

Now P90X3 is not only for athletes, it's for anyone who wants to get fit period. There are modifications provided, so it is suited for all fitness levels, although I would only recommend it for people who are at intermediate to advanced fitness levels. The less modifications that you use, the better results you will get.
