Day 6: Kenpo X

For those of you that do NOT know what Kenpo is, it's kickboxing.  But not 'Billy Blanks, I go so fast and put tricky moves and weird combinations in an odd sequence in hopes you fall over' ... Tony Horton (the guy who does all the P90X videos) keeps in concert with all of the other videos.  Slow pace, 25 on each side.  Switch, and repeat.

Be sure to really keep in tune with your heart beat here.  I noticed that my legs or arms weren't hurting, but my lungs were, which made me stop prematurely.  So, I hit pause and walked it out.  It seemed like this was more of a workout on my lungs today then anything else.  I felt some "pain" in my legs, but it could be residual from last night's workout.

I should briefly mention that as of right now, Kristi and I are NOT on the P90X diet.  We are gearing up for it though.  We just went grocery shopping, but not for Phase I (low carb, low fat, high protein).  They reccommend you just throw away all of the bad food, but realistically, we just can't afford to do that.  So, we will eat what we have and when we run out of it all, switch gears toward the diet.  Once I actually read that book, I will give a brief summary in another blog post for those of you that actually want to do the diet.

Back to Kenpo X.  Surprisingly, I did 99% of this workout.  Mostly because I have done Billy Blanks crazy Tae Bo in the past, which just made this seem way easier (despite the fact that I could barely keep up with Mr. Blanks).  I went a bit slower then the video, but I stuck with it.  I sweated up a storm (more then Plyometrics!), had some fun, took a shower, and I am getting my second wind right now (DESPITE THIS COLD!!)

So, there you have it.  You can do this, you can get the results you want, follow your heart.
