Days 5-7 - L&B, Kenpo and Rest

I was lazy over the weekend and I apologize to my maybe 5 readers that I didn't update the blog.


Legs & Back was good fun, I haven't done wall sits in years and it was definitely alot of pullups. But overall a real solid workout and legs is something many people overlook. It burns alot, but overall a good setup.

Kenpo X was disappointing. Part of it has to do with I ran a marathon recently and my aerobic fitness is pretty solid, but I found myself turning up intensity during breaks to try and get my heart rate up. I also tried too hard on punches and such and strained my shoulders a bit. In the future I think I'll keep doing Kenpo, but also run a few miles on those days as well.

Rest was nice, Mel came home after running a marathon in Idaho on Saturday and we stocked up on food and got ready for this week. She doesn't have another race for a month, so we'll step up the P90X together.

Overall, solid first week, more acclimated now and not too terribly sore as long as my shoulder does OK on Chest & back today.

Well it sounds like you're doing well overall.. I'm sure the rest of us non-marathon runners will enjoy kenpo x a little more than you did heh.

Tiff and I had a few "cheat meals" over the weekend but overall have done well. I've dropped about 10lbs overall and Tiff has dropped about 5-6.

We're starting the chest and back today.. taking it in baby steps.

Keep up the good work.

Glad to hear you're inching toward the start bro, should help you out alot when you dive into P90X for real. I cheated a little bit this weekend too, but it was only 4 beers...meals stayed solid.

Beers should never be considered "cheating," under any workout.

I'm fairly certain I need to fit in an extended booze session this coming weekend....ya know, to celebrate two weeks of success.
