Today’s Kenpo workout was one of the best yet. It went really well. I did feel that it wasn’t quite the workout that it used to be intensity wise, but hey, I’ve done a couple Insanity workouts now so what do you expect? Anyways, like I said, the workout was really good. I enjoyed it a lot, and I was still wanting more when it ended. This is probably the last time I’ll be doing kenpo for a while since I’m going to be starting the P90X Insanity hybrid routines on Monday and I have kenpo x only during the recovery week. I’m glad the last one for a while went so well!

Todays workout was Legs and Back. I had a pretty good workout. My legs are really feeling it! Napua had a good workout as well and Bransen said that today was probably the best workout he’s completed so far. So I guess today was a good workout day for all of us! Ab ripper x went pretty well today also, as it almost always does.

My copy of Insanity arrived today and I couldn’t help but skip todays Yoga X workout and complete the Insanity Fit Test instead. I must say that just the fit test is really like a pretty nice cardio workout. I was sweating a ton by the time it was over and it’s only a warm-up plus 8 one minute moves. I can already tell this program is going to kick my butt and hopefully take my body to the next level of fitness. Here are my Insanity Fit Test Results.
Switch Kicks: 47 Each Leg
Power Jacks: 40
Power Knees: 59
Power Jumps: 18
Globe Jumps: 5.5 (22 Total Jumps)
Suicide Jumps: 15
Push-Up Jacks: 20
Low Plank Oblique: 16 Each Leg
Like I stated in an earlier post, my plan is to put together a hybrid schedule of P90X and Insanity workouts. I’ll probably start doing the hybrid routines the begining of next week. I’m looking forward to the new challenge!

Todays workout was Plyometrics. Napua, Bransen and I all did the workout together. It was pretty good. I was feeling it after all the bad eating that I did over the holiday weekend! I still had a pretty amazing workout. I think that we all did judging from the sweat dripping off of everyone!

Todays workout was Yoga X and it felt really hard. My arms are still pretty sore from yesterdays workout which probably has a lot to do with it. I just wanted the yoga session to be over with! Hopefully next week will be a little bit easier.

Today was the first time we did the Chest Shoulders and Triceps workout this round (the first time ever for Bransen). It was a pretty hard workout. My numbers were ok but lower then I wanted. I know that next week will be better. I’m not too disapointed with my results though. I did pretty good. Ab ripper x went well. Usually after the recovery week I have more trouble with the ab ripper but this time it wasn’t too bad.

We finished up another good core synergystics workout today. It’s a really great workout. I like it even though it’s probably the hardest workout of all the P90X routines. It goes by quick and really gets you sweating. And it feels like a full body workout so that’s a plus as well.

Since this is a recovery week, today was supposed to be an X Stretch day. But since we missed last Saturdays Kenpo X workout, Bransen and I decided to do a Plyometrics workout today instead. We both had a really great workout. One of the best ever. Later on Napua did the X Stretch routine, and I decided to do the first half of it with her. I didn’t do the second half because I was making dinner at the time. I feel pretty good though from doing what I did.

Todays recovery week workout was Kenpo X. We had a really great workout. By the end we were covered in sweat and feeling great. This one always makes me feel good by the end. I just wish the warm up was more traditional. I just don’t like doing the kenpo warmup for some reason!

Wow! I forgot how awesome the P90X Core Synergystics workout is! All three of us, Bransen, Napua and I, just completed the workout and it was great. We were all sweating so much it was crazy. Our mats were soaked and probably the carpet too. I feel great! I don’t know why this workout is part of the recovery week because it’s really intense. I like it though and it seems to go by really fast.

Today was day 22, the first day of the first recovery week. We all just completed Yoga X. It was a pretty good workout for all of us I think. I know it was for me. We only have 2 mats so I had to do it without a yoga mat but other then that everything was great. I’m looking forward to the rest of the week.

Bransen and I just finished up Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X. It was a good workout for us both. Actually it was one of the best leg and back workouts I’ve done in a long time so I’m really happy with it. Napua and I are taking the dogs and going camping for the weekend so I won’t be posting tomorrow. We’ll probably be taking tomorrow as a rest day and doing Kenpo when we get back on Sunday like we did last week. It seemed to work out well last time.

Bransen and I did yoga today (Napua decided to take the day off) and we both did really well. Bransen pushed through and tried harder then he ever has during yoga and he did a great job with it, even though it was really hard. Yoga was hard for me too but I also pushed through to the very end and it ended up being a really good yoga session. I held crane for the longest time that I’ve ever been able to today so that was a nice plus too!

Todays workout was Shoulders and Arms. I pushed myself as hard as I possibly could and I made gains in pretty much every exercise. By the end I had such an amazing pump going in my shoulders, arms and chest. I’m going to miss this workout for the next 6 weeks as well. Ab ripper x went really well today also. I’m very happy overall with todays shoulder and arms / ab ripper x routine. Bransen worked out with us again today and he did pretty good as well. He was using heavier weights this time and I think he got a nice pump from the workout too.

The plyo workout today was amazing for all three of us. Bransen, Napua and I were all drenched with sweat after completing the plyometrics workout. This is still one of my favorite workout days, even though it’s a tough one. I’m really happy that Bransen is pushing hard too. I think he’s going to be able to get some good results if he sticks with it.

Our chest and back workout was absolutly amazing. The weight vest that I’ve been wearing for the workout is really helping to push the workout to the next level. I’m going to miss doing chest and back for the next 6 weeks or so. Anyways, I was able to raise my reps on all the moves again and I felt great afterwards. Napua and Bransen also had good workouts today. They are pushing harder and I’m really proud of their progress. Ab ripper x went really well this time too!

Yesterday was supposed to be kenpo and today a rest day but because we were too busy yesterday to get our workout in, we ended up taking yesterday as our rest day and did the kenpo routine today. The workout was pretty average but at least we got it done.
