Kenpo X Workout With Ab Ripper an Hour Later

Kenpo X

For those that don't know Kenpo is a Hawaiian martial art that is sort of a hybrid of several.  In the P90x Kenpo X you are throwing kicks (knee, ball (straight), side and back), punches (jab, hook, cross, uppercut) and doing many blocks, followed by elbows.  It finishes up with a series of over 100 rapid punches from "horse stance."  It is by far the most fun I've had while burning calories.  The hour definitely goes by much quicker than the others.  Oh, and the "breaks" are 90 seconds of running in place, virtual jump rump, 20 seconds of jumping jacks and then leaps in the air while creating an X.  I swear my heart rate went up about 10 bpm on average during each of the "breaks."  With further ado, today's results:

Avg HR = 124 bpm
Peak HR = 163 bpm (during that last series of punches at the end)
Calories Burned = 650

Ab Ripper X

Avg HR = 104 bpm
Peak HR = 139 bpm (during the Mason Twist at the end as usual)
Calories Burned = 118
