P90X: Day 24 – Kenpo X

Kenpo X

Ah, the good ol’ martial art routine. I love the Kenpo X DVD, mainly because it brings back memories of Tae Kwon Do. I find this DVD intense at times, but overall relatively not too difficult. I put more ‘umph’ into the kicks and punches than I originally thought I would. I try to show off an exercise’s technique as well. I suppose this comes from years of Tae Kwon Do. The only criticism that I have is that I wish it had some type of jump kicks built into the Kenpo X DVD. It’d be fun to fly through the air into the wall of the house and blame it on the cats having rabies. LOL.


I have read several places, in order to push yourself more with Kenpo X, you need to get some weighted gloves or weighted vest. I agree, this would make the workout exponentially harder. I might have to try that in Phase 3.


My thoughts: While no Core Synergistics or Plyometrics, it is a good cardio martial arts workout. I did a bunch of kicking and punching, some clawing, no yelling, and even more breathing. I felt like Bruce Lee entering the Dragon on some of the moves.


Have you ever seen Enter the Dragon starring Bruce Lee?

I have never even heard of Enter the Dragon starring Bruce Lee, but I can leave you with this lil nugget:

There.will.be.no.flying.through.the.air.into.the.wall.of.the.house.

Thank you, that is all.
