Phase I Recovery Week, Day 3 Down...

Its day 3 of the recovery week and the video for today was Kenpo X. I finished the Kenpo workout earlier today before I went to work. Anyway, as usual the workout was fun, it almost seemed as though the time just flew by and on top of it I got a great workout. I tried to really intensify the workout today by just focusing all those punches, kicks, and bows that Tony had me throwing. In addition, I tried to speed up everything up by either matching what Tony and the 3 people in the video were doing or even by reducing my breaks.

I am kind of surprised that I have not become bored with Kenpo as of yet. I think that the various combinations of moves throughout the entire routine keep it fun, appealing, and intense. From the jabs, hooks, crosses, claws, uppercuts, elbows, block techniques to the various directional kicks used; Kenpo X continues to stay fresh. Each time I perform this routine I notice that I become more accustomed to the different combo moves Tony has in the video. In the Kenpo X DVD Tony directs you to perform a jabs, then the next exercise would be crosses, then hooks, then uppercuts and so forth. Eventually, he directs you to put these move together to make a combo move, for instance, he tells you to do a jab followed by a cross, then a hook, and then an uppercut. This constitutes as one repetition. Things like this is done throughout the workout which is why I end up completely covered in sweat by the end of the workout. Anyway, I am looking forward to X Stretch tomorrow so I can loosen up some muscles.
