P90x Lean - Day 6 - Kenpo X

Yeah, I was right. I love the idea of fighting! That was absolutely awesome! I was a lot more willing to fight on through the pain and just kept busting it out through everything! My feet may not have gotten as high as theirs, but I'm fairly certain I could have still kicked someone's ass. I think my pride comes into effect more in a fight... it just hits that competitive portion of my brain just right, and even if it doesn't look pretty. I'm hitting someone.

I'm sure it helps somewhat that the past few days at work have been a little out of the ordinary annoying... has anyone else gotten a call from their boss where the greeting was "who are you wanting to punch in the face?" Remember kids, dishonesty doesn't help anyone.

Whew. So I made it through my first full week. I'm really excited about that, but you wouldn't know from looking at me, I'm pretty tired too. I can already feel myself getting more flexible, my soft spots are becoming a little less soft, and I don't hurt as much or for as long! This is pretty awesome! Can you imagine just how out of shape I was if I'm this excited after six days? Yeesh.

I was looking at some of the different programs on the Beachbody website last night. There is one that they recommend as the "pre-P90x" workout... I guess if I had known about that, I would have considered it, but since I didn't... eff that, I'm powering through this one! I also saw one called simply "Insanity" it is supposed to get you ripped in 60 days instead of 90... it's got some crazy large bald guy running it. As I'm not entirely interested in bulging, just being lean. I think I would stick with this one. I think about what I will do when I do get down to a size I am comfortable with. I think at that point I will consider doing the exercises of the website my best friend told me about (I forgot the name, but I'm sure I mentioned it on the blog and I'll just check back later).

Whew I'm worn out. Tomorrow is either a rest day or X Stretch. Part of me is really excited to do that one, and part of me is scared... I go on call for work tomorrow and don't know how much I'll feel like being sweaty or in the middle of working out and then having to go out and conduct and investigation or something.
