#P90X Day 41: Kenpo X. No pun. Intended.

Elbow Series: "Up, down, in, out."

This morning I got my wife off to work with a tasty Power Smoothie and some Omega Coffee (Hazelnut, if you must know.) and then I donned my sweatpants and hoodie, cranked the heat in the apt to 75 and Pushed Play on Kenpo X.

Now, it should be noted that right smack in the middle of my living room is the vent…so, standing up doing warmups and punches and kicks had my basically doing that right in front of the heat-blowing vent….which, is exactly what I was wanting. For me, Kenpo is fun and a blast, but it just doesn’t push me as hard as every other workout. so the heat and the sweats amp it up a little bit.

This time, I also decided that I wasn’t going to strictly follow Tony & Co’s pace. It wasn’t double time or anything, but I was pushing hard and going a little faster than normal. This, by itself, kept my heart rate up around 175 (90%) – a good number to sustain.

My kicks are getting higher and higher. I’m really pleased with how I can see other workouts’ success playing into my progress here. Yoga and X Stretch in particular.

Nothing extreme to report here. Just a good solid, clothes-soaking workout.

I call that a win.

I will say this though….it’s now around lunch time, and my whole body is just sore as balls from last night’s Legs & Back and ABX. Every which way I turn, I’m feelin it.

Yes.

TOTAL CALORIE BURN: 862 (the number keeps getting higher as I find ways to Reinvent my A-Game).
