Ok, this is going to be rather short. I'm really don't have much time, but I wanted to make sure I posted. This is the point after all for accountability purposes to post daily.
Today, I had Kenpo X scheduled, but decided at the last minute to switch it out for the more challenging Kenpo Cardio Plus from the P90X+ series that just came out last month. Man, that workout was hardcore. I wore my heart rate monitor which is calibrated to my information and after 40 minutes, I burned 493 calories and I was a sweaty mess. That's the sign of a good workout. I really enjoyed it.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoy Kenpo X too. However, my problem with Kenpo X is that the stretching sequence is too long and the video clocks in at nearly an hour. Sometimes, after working out the five days previous for about an hour, I want to do another hour long routine so it's nice to have a more intensified version that gets the job done in a shorter amount of time. Twenty minutes is a big deal. Especially now that I am starting school tomorrow.
Which by the way reminds me, starting tomorrow I will be switching to morning workouts. I want to knock my workout before work so that way when I come home, I can focus entirely on my studies. I think I hit my prime in the morning when it comes to workouts so this will be normal for me. Of course, it will take about two weeks for me to get adjusted to doing mornings again, but I'm up for the challenge. If I care to maintain my current grade point average, I have to manage my time and do everything I need to do in my day to the best of my ability: work, school, eat well, and workout.
Getting back to Kenpo Cardio Plus (KCP). Great workout. Some of the sequences didn't feel natural, but I know that was the point behind them: to teach new tendencies to create new neuropathways. I think it's awesome just form. KCP gets my nod of excellence.
Overall rating for the day: Solid 8
