P90X Day 7
Spider Bite!
Started off the day with a good breakfast (still trying to make up for last night’s splurge). I had a cheese scrambler and 1/4 of a cantelope. Pretty good I must say. Sat around for a couple of hours this morning playing my pixel crack. For those of you who don’t know what that means, it’s means I was hooked up to World of Warcraft for most of the morning LOL! After I broke for lunch (which was the shrimp stir fry from the nutrition guide…….REALLY GOOD), my wife had to take my son to the ER. He was bitten by a spider on his right ear when he was at my father’s house. His ear swelled up 2-3 times it’s normal size and turned red/purple and was oozing nasty stuff. The doctors said it had already developed into a staff infection and the nuerotoxin from the venom was causing skin death. If left untreated it could start eating away the cartiledge on his ear. As it is now they had to drain his ear and put him on high doses of antibiotic and steroids. He should be okay, but we still have to watch him carefully.
Now that the serious stuff is out of the way, let’s talk about Kenpo X. Had a great time today with it. It was actually a fun workout. I used to take karate when I was younger and all the punches, blocks and kicks really took me back. It was very fast paced. It seemed you didn’t even really have time to wipe the sweat from your face. I liked during the intermission breaks when we did the X Flight Jumping Jacks. Those are fun. It’s basically when you jump off the ground and do a huge jumping jack in mid air. I also liked how during the last 10 reps of certain exercises you get to yell, which for me (as you know) is always a good time. The louder the better. See you all tomorrow for my start of my second week. Keep following me. I will be here.
Thanks for posting … I am waiting for my P90X to arrive and have enjoyed reading your first week. I am excited to get started.

Hey Jeff.
I’m glad I could help you get motivated. It’s a great system and I hope you do well with the program. Thanks for linking to me, I’ll put you in my blog roll as well. Stop back and tell me how your first day goes. Chest and Back / Ab Ripper X is really tough. I know you’ll do well talk to you soon!
That is a great workout. I was in a sweat lather. It was great. I feel so good today. Ready for the next day. This was the best workout so far. They will just keep getting better.
Tom,
I just finished my first week. This is going to be a tough few months I can already tell. Though I have noticed even through the soreness, the joint pain I have in my shoulders seems a little better. I was just wondering on your rest day did you do the stretching excercise?
Man, Kenpo was sweet. I just finished it and I was sweating big time. It went by so fast!!! I kinda wish it was longer. It took a bit to get in the grove with some of the combo’s but I just practiced them then reversed the dvd to start over. At the end when you grab your ankles to stretch out your quads, I couln’t, I was too sweaty!!!
Thanks for your site man!
The first week is behind us! Horray…
All right, the first AbX routine killed me, the second left me sore and begging for forgiveness, bu the third one was great! I was able to finish the set in good form and did not break into a whiney cry at the end! Kenpo X was a lot of fun, Yoga was a lot harder then I first thought it would be…. and the leg exercises left me sore for three days! Great week! ! ! I am looking forward to week 2!!! Thanks again for the space.
I’m amazed to see that after one week, you lost a large portion of your belly fat! That’s awesome! I lost about 90-95 pounds over the last year just dieting, but I’m stalled out now and still have 30 to go (I was a huge a**). A friend and I are thinking about trying p90X.
