Kenpo! Never heard of it before. Overall, it wasn't that tough. Medium-toughness I would say. It reminds me of a lower-intensity version of Turbo Kickboxing at 24 Hour Fitness: punching (meaning jabs, uppercuts, hooks) with kicks (forward, sideways, backwards). It doesn't look that tough, hell, it doesn't even feel that tough, but I needed to take a breather while I both caught my breath and figured out what the next move is supposed to look like. There is coordination involved in some of the combination stuff but I fared well in most of them. The only one I really had trouble with were the star punches but that's also because I had no room to walk forward and backward that much. I am surprised I held out through all of the horse stance ones (stand wide and bend your knees a bit).
I've recovered from much of my soreness in my arms thankfully! I woke up this morning with sore glutes and slightly sore calves. I think P90X is working... my stomach has stayed a consistent 26" which makes me happy. I think I'm eating okay; I am not really that hungry but lately I have found myself wanting to eat for the sake of eating. I hate that. I feel like I'm eating too many carbs and that my last layer of fat might go away if I lower that intake. (Typed right before I eat a pizza for lunch...) My skin's not great -- I might resort to a vegan approach on eating again soon.
Rest day tomorrow, then Week 2 starts with Arms & Back and Ab Ripper just like Day 1.
I did Kenpo today too. It really isn't that tough, it just warms you up. Star blocks are mainly useless. This routine is kinda fun though (:
