P90X Day 6: Kenpo X

Week one is done and is has been VERY satisfying to have finished this first week of P90X! The next few weeks repeat the week that I just finished so I’m not going to do daily blog updates. Maybe weekly updates or maybe I’ll say something when a new workout is introduced, we’ll see.

The final workout of the week was Kenpo X, which was pretty much 45 minutes of kicking and punching. This is a total cardio workout and according to my heart rate monitor I ended up burning 953 calories. That seems to be about what I’m burning with each workout, but I’m somewhat disappointed that, as of last night, I haven’t lost any weight. Not sure why since I’m eating good and burning tons of calories? I’m weighing in each night before I hop into bed, so maybe tonight I’ll be down a little bit. I'm not too worried though because I really do feel great.

Day 7 of P90X is either a rest day or you can do a stretch workout to take care of your aching muscles. Right now I’m feeling really good, but my soreness usually comes the day after I workout so unless I’m achy tomorrow, I’m planning on just resting and starting over on Monday.
