If Yoga X is one of my two least favorite of the P90X
workouts, this is the other one.
I mean don’t even break a sweat doing it. I did Tae Bo pretty much every day for 2
years and Tony is no Billy Blanks. In
fact, I recently went back and re-did all of my old (I'm talking circa 2000) Tae Bo VHS
workout tapes (before donating most of them) and was reminded again of how much
better Tae Bo is than Kenpo X. I had forgotten how fun Tae Bo is
and you really sweat.
This workout is about an hour and, honestly, there isn’t
much of anything that I like about it. I
don’t like the ‘saunders cycle’ (or however that is spelled) warm-up. The workout itself – a combination of punches
and kicks – is slow, repetitive, and boring.
I guess the cool down is okay – and the best part of this because getting to the cool downt means that it’s almost over.
I don’t think I’m being overly cranky about this, but Kenpo
X is the weak link in the P90X program. And you do it every week, including the recovery weeks. At least with the Yoga there is some value to
the stretching. I’m not sure I would do
this DVD again if you paid me. Seriously, go buy a Tae Bo DVD and replace Kenpo with that. You'll be glad you did.
