Day 13 - Dallas kicks some Kenpo X

Well I got the whole family to join me today in Kenpo X.  My daughter (a red belt in karate) liked all the moves, but was a little bored with all the cardio stuff.  She sat down through some of it.  Seeing her in the warm up....she can bend in half.  In the move where you are lying down and have one leg up, grab your toe then fold to the side....she was pretty much in the split while holding her toe....amazing.  My wife did every move with me and really liked the work out.  She did the Stretch with me last week.

This was much better this week.  Last week I was a little lost and confused through some of the moves.  This week I knew what he meant (most of the time).  I keep my HR monitor on from the start of the warm up until the cool down is done.  I download all my HR info to a software program so I can monitor my HR for recovery time.  Max HR was 176 and avg was 142.  Most of the cardio stuff or max kicks I was at 168-172.  I was really bringing it today.  My HR drops pretty quick.  Once we started the cool down I had dropped to 130, then by the time we leaned over I was at 115.  When the cool down was over I was at 109.  Then it shot back up to 124 when I was taking the dvd out of the player....weird.

Anyway - Great day.  I can't wait to stretch tomorrow.
