HAWK!\u00a0 And ya know what?\u00a0 Tony spends the whole time trying to pull a fast one on us.\u00a0 He constantly does one or two more reps than we&#8217;ve accounted for.\u00a0 CUT THAT CRAP OUT RIGHT NOW, Tone-ster.\u00a0 None of us are here to challenge ourselves.\u00a0 We&#8217;re here to survive.\u00a0 And in Wesley&#8217;s case, he&#8217;s busy just trying to remember where he left his black orthopedic shoes and turtleneck.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of your rep-rip-off scam, Tony, why don&#8217;t you focus more on coming up with creative Kenpo-specific exercises?<\/p>\n<p>You see, there comes this point in the dvd where he clearly runs\u00a0out of things to do\u00a0and it suddenly becomes &#8220;X Time.&#8221;\u00a0 Basically &#8220;X Time&#8221; is an airborne spread eagle done over and over again.\u00a0 There may be some &#8220;power noises&#8221; we&#8217;re also required to make\u00a0during &#8220;X Time.&#8221;\u00a0 My power noises may sound suspiciously like swearwords aimed specifically at Tony&#8217;s manhood.\u00a0 But aside from the &#8220;power noises&#8221; I&#8217;m not sure what the rest of &#8220;X Time&#8221;\u00a0has to do with\u00a0martial arts.\u00a0 So KNOCK IT OFF!\u00a0 It&#8217;s way too pee-provoking and I\u00a0don&#8217;t care if we&#8217;re trying to buy Wesley some time as he lurches around\u00a0in the background towelling\u00a0off.\u00a0 More karate, less jumping.\u00a0 Now back to work!<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of WORK, if I had a job I wouldn&#8217;t be doing\u00a0ANY of this nonsense.\u00a0 So&#8230;more jobs, less nonsense!<\/p>\n<p>But until that job arrives&#8230;while I&#8217;m mostly focused on Wesley (and Tony natch), I do have to mention that\u00a0there are two other folks in this dvd.\u00a0 One is a red-haired chick named Vanessa.\u00a0 All I know about her is that she&#8217;s engaged to a dude in another P90X dvd.\u00a0 In fact, I\u00a0think he&#8217;s in the Ab Ripper X dvd.\u00a0 So I see him quite frequently.\u00a0 Perhaps more frequently than Vanessa does?\u00a0\u00a0Either way, it&#8217;s best that they&#8217;re together.\u00a0 I find that fit, Tony-Hortonish\u00a0people should marry and\u00a0have fit, Tony-Hortonish\u00a0babies and leave the rest of us out of it.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there&#8217;s Tony 2.\u00a0 He&#8217;s #2 because he&#8217;s also super fit and fanatical about it?\u00a0\u00a0No.\u00a0\u00a0Oh, he&#8217;s ALSO named Tony!\u00a0\u00a0Noooo.\u00a0 That&#8217;s not vain in any way, Tony 1.<\/p>\n<p>And Tony 2\u00a0is of the <a href=\"http:\/\/newstayathomemom.com\/?p=1032\">Dominic from the Plyometrics dvd<\/a> school of torture.\u00a0 Everything he does is way over the top and executed with military precision (he&#8217;s a former marine who looks and acts\u00a0like Billy Blanks of Tae Bo fame).\u00a0 So unlike Dominic, he might actually put up a fight when we jump him\u00a0in the parking lot\u00a0after class.\u00a0 But that&#8217;s ok.\u00a0 I almost have my jab-hook-cross-uppercut sequence perfected.\u00a0\u00a0Wesley won&#8217;t be joining us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong.\u00a0 I actually LIKE this P90X dvd.\u00a0 It&#8217;s just that we have Wesley in the back of the gym who&#8217;s acting like Frankenstein fresh out of surgery.\u00a0 And I worry the WHOLE time that he won&#8217;t be able to swing his arms around in time to complete the jab-hook-cross-uppercut sequence.\u00a0 I mean, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstayathomemom.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1100"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstayathomemom.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstayathomemom.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstayathomemom.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstayathomemom.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1100"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/newstayathomemom.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1100\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1106,"href":"https:\/\/newstayathomemom.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1100\/revisions\/1106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstayathomemom.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstayathomemom.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstayathomemom.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
