P90X: Day 6 – Kenpo X

7 07 2009

Today was really hard and really intense. I felt like I was doing some sort of women’s self-defense class! Actually, it was Kenpo X, or martial arts style punching, kicking and blocking. I was really sweating for this one, as it was a whole body workout​. You get to try and improve your coordination and balance, not to mention timing. I found that I had to be focused in a different way than I had to be focused during the Yoga X. I was trying to imagine assailants that I was kicking (and punching) the crap out of and really “Bringing It!” for the entire workout. It’s kind of funny that that is one of the slogans that Tony Horton uses in his P90X dvds as I am known for saying “Bring it on!” around my friends.

Jab, cross, hook, upper cut!

High Sword, then punch like a Low Hammer!

Trying to do a back leg kick! I think both arms were supposed to be in a guard position.
