Yesterday was Cardio X day for p90x. Even though I started p90x last week, I decided to do the 'lean' option so technically I'm starting over and yesterday was day 2.
Cardio X is basically a combo of different moves from the other workouts to get your heart pumping. First several minutes were yoga, wasn't a big fan. I've yet to do Kenpo X therefore half the moves I was ridiculously bad at.
My roommate decided since I was EXTRA bad at the "Jab,cross, hook, uppercut" move that he would video tape it. I tried to find a short you tube clip so you could see what it is SUPPOSED to look like, but most of it was instructional martial arts stuff with punching bags- rest assured what you'll see below is not proper technique.
My plan is to post my embarrassment so I will be motivated to get better, and in a few weeks time I'll post a better video (with more clarity, stupid phone) to show my improvement.
Despite trying to repeat to myself over & over again "jab, cross, hook, uppercut" I still couldn't get it. Adam had to intervene and tell me to hit his hands. Basically if I tell myself 'hit hit cross under' then I remember what to do.
Great thing about being a runner is you don't have to be excellent at hand eye coordination- I think this proves my point.
