P90X – That’s A Good Thing…
Saturday, the 69th day of my P90X odyssey, and I find myself amazed at how easy each program has become. At first, when I began this journey, the routines seemed so long, so boring, so un-doable. And don’t get me started on that 1 ½ hour Yoga thing…It was, for me, unbearable.
Now, just as the warm up is complete and the intensity picks up, I find myself entering the cool down portion of the program, wondering where the hour (or hour and a half) went. That’s a good thing!
Today was my day for Kenpo and yes, my 3 mile run. We had some out of town visitor’s visit, wanting to go to the Mineral and Gem show. Tomorrow is the last day and so their timing was perfect. Since I have been there so many times and not being really interested in purchasing anything new I volunteered to stay home and take care of Kerry’s mom while Kerry joined our friends. We did meet for breakfast and lunch so I did get some quality time visiting with them.
Kenpo was pretty good today. My kicks are higher and my blocks are on the mark. My punches can use a little work. I find it difficult to pivot my feet when punching in a lunge. Old habits are hard to break. When I was younger I had my own fighting style and to this day, those old forms are still with me. Now, when I say I had my own fighting style, please don’t think of me as a thug who went around beating up people. But I did study Korean Karate and when cornered with no other option, I was able to protect myself and those with me. In all my years, I only used physical force (for protection) a couple of times. I never had a fight, ever. I am thankful for that.
What, are you Chicken?
