P90X – Kenpo X – When it starts to feel too easy

On a popular P90X thread on bodybuilding.com, some posters were venting that they thought Kenpo X gets too easy over time. It’s one of the few workouts that you do every single week, no matter what phase or recovery week. Here are some pointers I gave in that thread and they were well received, so I figured I would share with more people.

I have come back and re-visited this post with some more details. I started this diet a week ago, and have much more that I can share at this time than I initially could at the time I originally posted it. Some learnings I have so far:

  • CKD is not easy for those who have a busy lifestyles, especially…
  • If you do not have constant access to food, CKD gets even harder.

  • CKD does seem to get easier as you continue on it, but only if you don’t mind eating the same foods every day.

I read something about being able to transfer your character when you get a new iPhone, but I haven’t been able to do it. Can someone post in the comments?

The good news is I was able to get help from Storm8. All you need to do to transfer your character is load up the game on your new phone, and then go to the settings menu.

I don’t usually blog about Apple products because I don’t want to mix business with personal life. But I am really impressed with this product.

It’s a lot faster than I thought it would be, and the video recording is quick, easy, and really good quality.

It’s up to you to decide if it’s the right phone for you, but I love it.

Oh and I posted this using it while walking Stuart, tracking a Nike plus workout and listening to music. But I guess you can’t multitask. /sarcasm

Fishing! Stacy and I reeling in a few whoppers!

Rope swing + waterfall = Fun!
