Kick, Punch, Hook, Jab

Thought we would be doing Legs, Back, and Abs today.  Nope, change in plans.  We need the chin-up bar and/or resistance bands for that DVD, and, since those essential tools have not yet arrived from the brown truck people, we skipped ahead to Day 6 workout instead.  Kenpo.

Lots of kicking...forward, backward, sideways.  Lots of punching...specifically, jabbing, hooking, cross-overing, and even uppercutting.  Throw in a couple of blocks...outside, inside, up, down.  And between the sweat inducing fight moves, we had "cool down breaks" that consisted of jogging in place (knees up, knees down with feet kicking back), jumping rope with imaginary jump ropes, jumping jacks, and airborn "X"s.  Pretty much 55 non-stop minutes of fun.  AND, the timers along the bottom of the screen that we rely on to get us through each set changed with this video to counters...counting the reps...and then they betrayed us.  It started with our fearles leader (Tony Horton) telling unsuspecting us that we would have a certain number of reps (100), said number was on the counter (100), but then, when said number was reached (100), our fearless leader just went into hyperdrive, incessently encouraging to max it out through the burn, and the counter then starts flashing the number (100*100*100*100*100).  No joke.  And so not funny.

Bar and bands still not here.  Not sure what's in store for tomorrow...
