Although this is my second favorite workout, it almost killed me.
I knew I was in trouble when the first exercise (the balance lunge) had me dizzy afterwards. I felt it big time in every one of my leg exercises, and I was much more wobbly than I usually am.
The good news is that I improved in all of my Pull/Chin-Up exercises, peaking at 23 Reverse grip Chin-Ups (I did 10 the first week). Again, it's crucial to keep track of what you have done in the past because it gives you a goal to reach for. I made sure I beat all of last weeks totals, and I don't think I would have done that if I didn't know what I had done. I also raised my Wide Front Pull Ups by about two a week (6-8-11-12-14) and I'm not losing as many reps on the second set.
I do always feel great after this workout, but I was as tired as I ever was tonight. I also noticed my heart rate was pretty good during this workout. I was in "the zone" for most of it (although believe it or not, my heart rate went down during Ab Ripper X! Go figure!)
More later as I'll report on tonight's Kenpo X!
