Week 2! This is getting GOOD!

So Saturday evening we did Kenpo for the very first time.  FUN!  At first, I had a hard time finding the rhythm.  Once I did...fun!  I was very surprised at the burn the next day.  My entire arm was sore.  Raising my arms to put on deodorant, I could feel muscles I haven't worked in years.  My forearm ached...what a workout.  And without weights.  Kenpo is definitely one of my favorites.

Sunday we choose not to do X stretch.  Since you have the option of doing X stretch or resting, we just took it easy all day.

Monday it was back to Chest and Back.  But I made a mistake.  When we popped in the DVD, I selected the wrong one and we did over 30 minutes of next month's Back and Biceps.  I was LOVING the workout, I love working my biceps anyway, and this was hard.  But Dan suddenly realized that he hadn't seen any of this before....OPPS!

So, we cut that workout short, and jumped into Chest & Back which is where we were supposed to be.  We only did the latter half of that workout, there was no way we could have done the full thing after completing half the other.  Ab Ripper went a little better this time.  I can feel that my muscles are getting stronger.

I upped my weights, I am now working with 12's, I started with 5's.  I even did a little lifting with the 22's.  I want to do that more often.  We really need to be able to alternate with heavier weights, so we are going to have to buy a few things.

It's great to see our progress so far.  This is what we are noticing:

Dana:


1. Increased strength in my core.
2. Bicep definition when flexed
3. More energy


Dan:


1. Pec definition
2. Increased Strength


We keep each other motivated by discussing our goal for Christmas of this year.  After this Challenge we plan to do P90X Extreme and a few other things.  We also hope to do some training with Micah to cap some of this off.

It's a lifestyle change for the both of us, it's a lifetime thing.  How far we go, the sky is the limit.  I plan on not stopping.

Who knows where it will take us.  What a fun goal to have together and great for two people that really enjoy eating healthy, being fit and working out!

Tonight.....Plyo again!  YAY!
