Combined post for days 5 and 6 since I did my day 6 early this morning.

Day 5
So day 5 was legs and shoulders. I’ve done this one before and it was a good workout. I hurt my toe on Wednesday night so I wasn’t able to do the toe-roll lunges because it hurt too much. The rest of the moves I was able to do pretty easily. In general, and it’s a difficult but rewarding workout. Since my legs don’t get nearly as much work as my upper body in my normal life, It’s good to be able to spend some time on them.

Abs were abs, hard, but I finished them all. I’m not as sore today as I was the last time I did ab ripper x, so that’s good.

Day 6
This morning, I woke up and did Kempo X. It was pretty much what I expected. I used to take kempo for my PE credits in High School (long time ago), so I remember alot of the drills we used to do. Also, I knew how to do most of the punches. I did, however, feel VERY uncoordinated when trying to do the hook/upper cut combination. I’d be fine on one side, but when I’d try to switch to the other side, I kept getting mixed up. I’m sure it’ll get easier with time, but wow.

Also, again, since legs aren’t usually a big thing for me, the kicking quickly tired me out. One move that I miss doing from my Kempo class, that, unfortunately, wasn’t in the Kempo X video is a series of 3 side kicks, Low, Middle, and High. I remember doing those and enjoying them.

This is the end of week one! I feel proud that I made it through almost all of them, though I’m a bit annoyed with myself that I skipped one of the ab ripper x workouts. Such is life though and I roll with it.

I’m going to try to take pictures tomorrow, though we are throwing a party so it may not happen until Sunday. Also, it’s measurement and video post time since it’s the end of week 1. Look for those all to be posted no later than Sunday. The new video will also be unscripted so I’m a bit more natural. I’ll just have talking points and then I’ll just ramble. Look for it!
