At long last, I've rounded up and pieced together video for my FitVlog Update #11!
We are well into P90X3 now--in the midst of Phase 2, no less. So far, I'm liking what I see. The 30-minute workouts are proving to be fun and challenging all the same. My favorite so far, MMX, which is inspired by MMA (mixed martial arts). It's sort of like P90X's KenpoX, only better!
First of all, MMX is shorter than KenpoX. But that's not where the awesomeness lies. It's a heart-pounding get-off-yer-behind kinda workout. I love the challenge!
Don't get me wrong, there's still a special place in my heart for KenpoX. I'm just thinking KenpoX is gonna be a cakewalk after MMX. Jis sayin'. (O.o)
A few days ago, a nice little thunderstorm rolled past our town, just to the south. In it, there was plenty of lightning to give us a good show. Just the lights, no sound. So in silence, I filmed the event with the GoPro Hero3 Black Edition. I had to zoom in using the video editor, which may have affected the quality, but still. I also had a difficult time knowing when to stop filming. The thunderstorm was slow moving, making the light show last!
Note to self: I may need to use the Canon Vixia for future lightning shows. The Vixia can do the zooming for me and the vid quality might be a bit better in low light. We'll see.
There's not much else to say about the vid. Well, except I love watching it! haha! Somehow, the music seems to just fit. It's a long-ish video, but I didn't dare speed it up in the editor. It's fun to see how active the atmosphere was all on its own.
Yes, I've had to resort to numbering the FitVlogs. I can't ever remember what day I'm on! haha!
With that, here it is...
I should elaborate a bit, but I've been up all night and I may utter complete nonsense.
FAIR WARNING!
Alrighty, this vlog contains more speedy workout video done by me. This time it's TurboFire, one of my absolute favorite programs. It's been so long since I've been able to do this, what with the injury and all.
I also talk a bit about my new shoes. The ASICS Gel-Craze TRs. So far, they are the only sport shoes I've worn that seem to really support my feet, and part of the reason I'm able to get back to TurboFire. They're snug, cushy, and stabilizing. Love them! Who knows? I may even be able to go for a jog in them one day.
And there are other a few other things mentioned. Pretty much, I'm trying to stay motivated and encouraged. One way to do that is to not compare my fitness journey with the journeys of others, even though I certainly wish everyone success! It seems, though, this time around I'm having a harder time achieving my goals. It's a process, to be sure. I'm still learning what my weaknesses are and how to overcome them.
Another struggle I have is watching myself in these FitVlogs. I'm still trying to get used to seeing myself looking the way I do in the videos. I don't feel like I look. If that makes any sense. I do realize the camera is a bit wonky. It has a fish-eye distortion. So my skinny ankles look even skinnier, and my feet look really tiny! hahaha! Unfortunately, the camera emphasizes my midsection in an unflattering way. I should film using the Canon Vixia instead of the GoPro, I suppose. It'll just be more difficult to see what I'm doing, since my filming space is so small. Either the top or the bottom will be sacrificed.
First world problems. I know. It's ridiculous, really.
