Today's schedule was Kenpo X. :) I can't say that this is my favorite workout in the series but I did push myself very hard this morning and I worked up a good sweat! I keep finding myself out of fuel near the end so I am not as capable of finishing as strong as I would like. :(
My daughter joined me this morning and she completed some of the moves but then she said it was boring so she stopped! LOL she is only 10 years old but she is somewhat right I think. Some people would find it boring because they aren't putting their all into it. Learning the punch sequences is a bit annoying at first and the fact that you aren't hitting anything can make you feel like it is not so much fun. This is one of the reasons we invested in a heavy bag. Once we get it hung I will be doing my Kenpo sessions on the bag! I am very excited about that for sure!
During some of the punching sequences I had to shorten my punch because of my tendinitis in my left elbow. If I extend too far it hurts! doh! So I shan't do that! LOL
No special equipment is needed for this workout! Just good old fashioned punching and kicking!
My eats for today include:
2 poached eggs
1 apple
1/4 c dried fruit (no sugar added)
24 raw almonds
1 cup fat free plain yogurt w/1tbs agave
4 oz lean deli turkey
2 pieces whole wheat bread
1 serving baby carrots
P90X Protein bar (chocolate fudge)
1 slice reduced fat colby/jack cheese
1 serving Shakeology w/1 serv. Van. Whey protein
Chicken stir-fry (3 oz chicken breast with 1-2 cups veggies)
Weigh in numbers will begin this Wednesday!

Cindy,
ReplyDeleteDo you have MA experience? You might be straightening the elbow too much. Think of it this way. The elbows protect the body, so they are always pointing down and always bent even in a straight jab or cross, so you can always come back quick to protect the body and ribs. I know you are extremely experienced with the X, but I wanted to give you this tidbit from my experience. Glad you are enjoying the X again!
Your #1 fan!
Thanks Michael! I learned this from other routines in the past...I definitely try to not over extend my joints. :)
