P90X Kenpo X
The P90X Kenpo X DVD is one of my favorite P90X DVDs I remember when I first started doing P90X and when it was time for the Kenpo X workout. It ranks up there with workouts that I never would of ever thought of doing. Kind of like the P90X yoga x workout. I was always a go to the gym do some curls and bench presses kind of guy with some occasional running in between.
The P90X Kenpo X workout is more of a high intensity workout focusing on a lot of balancing. It is a complete body workout. For the better part of an hour you are throwing punches and doing kicks. It really is a fun workout because Tony Horton gets you throwing "Upper Cuts," "Jabs", and "Hooks" as if you were fighting somebody. My favorite moves are where you are doing punches and throwing an occasional kick in there. Speed is one thing that you will gain from doing P90X Kenpo X. I have noticed better balance and an overall awareness of what my body can and cannot do. What I mean by this is by doing a martial art type of workout I have started testing out my reflexes, speed, and strength all at the same time. This is not some normal workout where you are working the same muscle. Here you are using all of them and working on getting faster with your kicks and punches. The P90X Kenpo X DVD always seems to fly by so fast. You will enjoy the P90X results you get when doing Kenpo X. I highly suggest doing Kenpo X with a friend if you can. Its kind of a funny workout with Tony Horton running the show. This way you can have a few laughs with a workout partner while kicking some butt.

My name is Brad Gibala. In 2007 I was introduced to P90X by a friend training for the Marines. I didn't know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full time

I just started p90x and tonight was my kenpo night. I am the most uncoordinated person ever. Sooo doing the jabs,upper cuts and hooks is difficult. I’m not doing them the right way. I still want to get a good workout on my 6th day, but doing this video is a little hard for me. Am I able to replace it with the Cardio X for the 1st few weeks? What do you suggest?

@ Molly – This is why you need to do Kenpo. Your balance and coordination will improve the more that you do it.

Hey…I just started P90x a few days ago and now I’m on the Kenpo X portion of it. I used to be in Taekwondo, so I have done alot of counltess kicks and punches and other various types of body strikes.
I’m just wondering if I should do this workout, or If I should replace it with another?
Also wondering about the diet plan..I dont know if there is another section on this website for the diet plan…But from the way I figured it out to be is, I am on Phase 1, type II….When does this change? Do I change the phase I am on, or do I change from Phase 1, 2 and 3 with the 3 phases of P90x? (Meaning the first 4 weeks, I am Phase 1 Diet….weeks 4-8 I am Phase II Diet…and phaste 8-12, I am Phase III Diet.) – Is that how it works?
Thanks

@ Nate
Give Kenpo a try and see how you like it. It might be not as advanced as you are use too and if its not then substitute Cardio X or Core Synergistics instead. If you are already in the Phase 3 plan of the meal plan then thats where you want to stay. You need the extra carbs for the energy.

@ JO
Insanity is a tough workout and it might not be the best thing to get started with. I would recommend you do Power 90. It is still challenging but does not go at the fast pace of Insanity. You can check it out in the Beachbody Store.
