[Remember: Act surprised<\/a>.<\/em>]<\/p>\n

This is it, Folks…Week 12 of P90X!!!<\/p>\n

And to celebrate, I’ve decided to take a deep dive into some of my favorite exercises.<\/p>\n

First up, Star Blocks.<\/p>\n

This fun time can be found in the Kenpo X dvd.<\/p>\n

It’s a series of FIVE arm moves which are REALLY confusing.\u00a0 First we stab the corner of the room (Tony’s words, not mine), then we stab the other corner of the room.\u00a0 [Then I stab Tony Horton AND Wesley lurching around in the back.]\u00a0\u00a0Those are MY words this time.\u00a0 Too violent?\u00a0 Naw!<\/p>\n

Then swish, swish, swish and step forward.\u00a0 Whaaaaa?\u00a0 Whaaaa was that?!?\u00a0 I was too busy stabbing people with my homemade Jersey Girl shiv and missed all of that.\u00a0 Ok, focus.\u00a0 Focus.<\/p>\n

First we stab the corner of the room (Tony).\u00a0 Then we stab the other corner of the room (Wesley).\u00a0 Then swish, swish, swish and this time our left\u00a0arm ends up below our waist by our upper thigh.\u00a0 Wait.\u00a0 Whaaaaa?!\u00a0 Why am I TWELVE WEEKS into this and I still can’t get this move?!??<\/p>\n

So instead of stabbing all the people I want to stab, I fly away in my head to my Jane Fonda aerobics glory days.\u00a0 She’s wearing\u00a0a black leotard with a belt, over top of black lacy\u00a0tights.\u00a0 And\u00a0black\u00a0suede ankle booties.\u00a0 It’s the most ludicrous work-out outfit in the history of time, but put a little\u00a080’s dance beat with the\u00a0moves?\u00a0 And I catch on\u00a0to every one (and they’re still stored somewhere in the dark recesses of my brain; wonder what else may have fallen out\u00a0in the meantime).\u00a0 I mean,\u00a0I could\u00a0aerobicize with Jane\u00a0to hell and back and rock it all the way.\u00a0 In fact, I’m doing it right now until all the stabbing is over.<\/p>\n

When I’m with Tony?\u00a0 I can NOT catch on to this sh**.\u00a0 It’s like I’ve gone to hell.\u00a0 And I haven’t come back.<\/p>\n

So Tony?\u00a0 Here’s some advice for you.\u00a0 Take THAT.\u00a0 And THAT!\u00a0 And even THAT!!!<\/p>\n
