The P90X just keeps mixing it up! Never a dull moment, and their claims of being the end all be all to workouts, surprisingly isn't too far off in my opinion. Again I can't stress enough how much I love the diversity, and I suppose that helps in the "Muscle Confusion" process. you can read up on it, or preview their video here : muscle confussion >> (scroll down until you see that chart on the right). I REALLY like Kempo X. When I was younger I was into karate and used to take classes and believe it our not this really brought me back to that. Kempo X is punching and kicking all wrapped up into a cardio workout.
Everyday I feel sore, but everyday it gets better and better. My stamina is increasing and my dread to press play is slowly diminishing :). This was fun. You do high punches, low punches, uppercuts, hooks, side kicks, back kicks, front kicks, blocking, elbows, you name! You can sort of set your own pace with this workout, but you need to make sure your heart is going fast enough to where you are getting the required workout (don't worry, if you're just starting out that will be easy.) A heart rate monitor may come handy in a couple weeks to ensure, as Tony Horton puts it, "I'm in the zone". This hour long workout flew by, I really got into it and that took my mind off of the workout itself—in fact I didn't even really take any of the alloted mini breaks! But, that is me, and perhaps I'm just more suited for this type of workout. I'll say it again, push yourself but don't kill yourself, let your body adjust to all of this.
