The couple that fights together, stays together. Karen wanted to do P90X with me today but her legs were killing her from yesterday's workout (her personal trainer is tough). I love to exercise with my girl, so I switched Friday's Legs & Back for Saturday's Kenpo X. Karen loves Kenpo, so we had a great workout together. We were both slugging away and kicking and sweating. I use the heavy bag most of the time and Karen uses the standing bag. Karen refuses to spar with me because she's afraid of that terrifying right upper-cut in the photo. I'll pay for that.The workout went quickly and we both thought it was much easier than usual. Fortunately, by the end of the day all the muscles in my upper body were real sore. Karen also remarked that she was feeling the pain; we both love the pain. It means we pushed ourselves.
After I finish this 90 day round of P90X in 15 days, I'm going to do intense interval training for a few weeks. Interval training involves bursts of high intensity alternated with periods of low activity. This is great for cardiovascular build-up and more effective at inducing fat loss. I'm not overweight (255 pounds) but I still want to burn off this last layer of fat and drop my body fat under 7%. Last time I tested I was just over 10%.
To accomplish this, I just ordered the P90X Plus workouts from Beach Body. This series includes a Kenpo Cardio Plus workout that is more intense and looks like a lot of fun. In addition, I ordered Beach Body's Insanity workouts. Insanity is just plain crazy-ass over-the-top interval training. If these workouts don't lean me up and melt off the rest of my fat, nothing will.
