Day 6: Kenpo X DONE

DONE WITH WEEK ONE!!! Woohoo!! I am so excited that I did it. I think I can definitely handle this. The coming weeks will be a bit more difficult, what with things going on during the week that will make it harder to fit in the daily workouts, but I know I can do it.

The Kenpo was a bit rough because my legs were quite sore from last night. I liked starting with stretching but again hated doing the yoga moves with shoes on. It's unnatural! I do love doing the pigeon, tho, so you take the good with the bad.

Although my overall opinion of this workout is positive, I was extremely confused during all of the punching combos. I mentioned before how I don't like the non-mirroring, and whereas in other workouts it is just annoying, this time it was very frustrating. I kept hitting myself with my own arms, flapping around like an idiot, and just generally feeling lost. It was the complete opposite of how I felt last night - totally incompetent and useless. Every time I thought I had it I would lose it again and feel really stupid. I know that's my own problem but I think it will keep me from loving this workout.

I DID very much enjoy the kicks and blocks. The side kicks are the most fun and the three way combo again brought me much joy! I felt really strong and confident doing all the blocks... until we got to the star and I felt like an oaf again. I will succeed at them someday!!

On a side note, I ordered a newer, stronger sports bra and it arrived today. I tried it on and did jumping jacks and it was heavenly. Hopefully it will help out a lot come Saturday.

Week one DOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!! I totally brought it. :o)
