Yesterday was supposed to be my first Kenpo X session. Would you believe it didn't happen yet again!? This is the 4th time I was scheduled to do Kenpo X, but didn't do it. I did workout, but I used the wrong exercise video. I accidentally put on the Plyometrics. Now, prior to yesterday, I scanned the Kenpo X video and knew that there was plenty of kicking and punching movements. Well when I was about halfway through Plyometrics, I asked myself, "What happened to the karate movements?" I actually finished the entire video and it wasn't until later that I realized I was doing the wrong video. Let me just say that the Plyometrics session is extremely difficult. The difficulty isn't with the movements, but with keeping up with the instructor. After 15-20mins in, I wound up taking a break ever other exercises set. At some point, I knew I wouldn't have enough energy to do every exercise, so I kept the video playing in order to catch my breath. I forget the name of the exercise that really tested me; I think it was some 180 degree twisting squat. After the first time I did it, Tony makes you do it several more times throughout the rest of the workout. I did a few more but found myself skipping several exercises. It's really exhausting. I think it's twice as difficult than the standard Cardio X workout. Since I'm doing the lean P90X program, Plyo isn't on my schedule. While it was fun to get an idea what it's like, I'd rather stick with Cardio X!
