P90X: Day 4

Kenpo X

Do you think Tony Horton and P90X will leave you behind when you get into a brawl at the local bar? Haha! I think not. This hour long workout consists of nothing but martial arts type moves. Punches, elbows, knees, kicks, fists flying to and fro, you get it all here people. This DVD teaches you how to be defensive and offensive with the wailing fury know as your hands and feet.

Imagine this... a mugger comes to attack you, you yell out, "KENPO X is in the hizouse!" and BAM! Knock him upside the head with a side kick followed by a one-two-three hand combination to finish him off. The mugger is on the ground in pain from blunt objects (your fists and feet) engaging his head, neck, and crotchal region, you are scampering away victorious with your juicy juicy wanting to take on more badies.

My thoughts on Kenpo X: I admit, I laughed when I heard this was martial arts. I know martial arts gives you an awesome workout. I would have never thought it would be incorporated into P90X though. I just did not seem to cross my mind. Alright alright, I did sweat more doing this DVD than any of the previous ones. The kicks, combination punches, and various elbows reminded me of my years of tae kwon do classes. All the emotion came flooding back, it was hard to keep from screaming every time I did a kick or punch.

The warm up kicked my butt big time. I am not a flexible man... yet. The warm up was twisting me all different kinds of ways, it was pure torture. Have you ever dreaded the warmup more than the workout?
