Day 52: Kenpo

After all that mental prep yesterday, I took a quick glance at the schedule this morning to find that it's a Kenpo day, not a Plyo day.  I'd be lying if I didn't say I was somewhat relieved.  You know how I love Kenpo, and you know how hard Plyo is.  Well, some of you do.  Some of you have yet to experience it. 

I've started doing Kenpo barefooted.  I was having a lot of trouble with the hip swinging and feet dragging with my rubber soles on carpet.  It's been a vast improvement.  I feel so free!  I'm even kicking faster and hitting harder.  Who'da thunk shoes could hold you back?  Actually, probably a lot of people have thought that.  It's what keeps the shoe industry alive and well. 

There really isn't much to report today.  The workout went really well.  I find myself having to work even harder to get my heart rate up.  When I first started, I simply had to throw one punch, and I was in the zone.  In fact, I'd be blasted out of the zone on the other side.  I had to take it easy on the breaks to get myself back to the zone where it's much safer and my heart won't explode.  Now, I have to do everything they do in the breaks just to keep my rate up in the zone.  It's awesome, my friends, to experience changes like this.  It's internal, granted, but it's awesome. 

Day 52:  Brought.
