Peter is great at this video, I wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley :-) me on the other hand not so good! The string of punches are sometimes a little to much for me and if you were to just tap me with your finger I would fall over.
Peter likes this workout the best I think just for the simple fact that he gets a good laugh out of me.
Yesterday I really pumped myself up, I said "self you need to do this, be strong and show your hubby who's boss".
We get past the warm up and I'm ready to FIGHT :-)
My arms are up and I'm ready to punch....about 2 seconds later Peter says "try it like this"...my fist felt like it was going to deck him.... :-).
So I continue on trying really hard, the sweat pouring down my face..(my target ...his head!) I blame the sweat for not seeing what the people on the DVD are doing, it's my excuse and i'm sticking to it!
Fast forward to the cool down, I turn to Peter and say "wow you must be pretty impressed with your wife today, I did so great".
Peter says "you punch like a grandma". I'm not even going to dignify that with a response well ok I will....I said nothing and Peter slept outside with the dog!
Alright just kidding, your probably wondering if I have a point...I do, here it is!
Just because I punch like a grandma (no offence to any grandmas out there who can actually punch) doesn't mean I can't do it, doesn't mean I didn't try my best and most importantly doesn't mean that I wouldn't leave Peter in the dust if he ever were to try and catch me, I've got some Kiolmeters on him :-).
And if this didn't give you a chuckle, I will leave you with a little story I heard from one of my friends yesterday, it would appear that my son Matthew has been telling people the following:
he is training for the Olympics, doing P90X with 30 lb weights and running a 1/2 marathon with Mommy.
I believe I may have created a monster!

Love your son's story. Dream big buddy! And who cares if you punch like a grandma, like you said, at least you're punching.
You are so cute :)
I would take that comment as a challenge. Get those muscles working, baby!
Your son sounds adorable. Good on him!
I'm doing the Kenpo x this evening! I punch like a grandma too..so no worries ;)
oxooxox
There's nothing wrong with punching like a grandma. At least you're getting the workout in! Good job Syl!
My hubby always laughs at me when I punch him. It's very annoying. Then again I don't punch him as hard as I could because I'm afraid of hurting him! Guess it's time to stop being afraid huh? lol
PS: Your tyke is adorable!!!
Cute comment by your son. :)
Yea..my husband isn't so impressed with my 5K that took me 44 minutes to run. I just laugh.
You're doing great! Thanks for sharing about your P90x workout.
Well, if he's telling stories like that, he must be VERY proud of his Mommy!
Note: there was no mention of "Daddy competing in boxing"!
Punch it out lady - who cares what it looks like, as long as your doing it!!
Punching grandma's are hot!
Our men are going to get along JUST FINE!!!!!! Ah Syl, they have hearts of gold. They must cuz otherwise they'd be dead already.
If Peter is anything like Garry then he probably brags a ton about you when you're not around. I'm sure he's super proud of you .. but he's got to be your Tommy Europe you know!
That's funny about your son. At least he sounds like he's impressed by you.
Such a great line from Matthew :)
You must be so proud of him!
We all have our specialties: if you are together in a dark alley and someone with bad intentions approaches you: Peter punches him and you run like hell. It's a win-win situation :lol:

Your son sounds too cute!
Tell Pete he has not seen this grandma punch yet!!Watch out for me....hehe
I taught boxing at gyms for years and love the aggression I release during that class and get such a good workout. I'm so sad that my gym no longer has boxing classes....I teach a little in my class once a week and when I see how those ladies punch, my thoughts are * WHY YOU EVEN BOTHERING* they punch like girls!!!!!!!!!!
Wow you have a little overachiever on your hands! LOL! that is cute! i would rather punch like a girl then not punch at all. Keep swinging girl!
That is so cute, what a doll you have!!!
I'm sure if hubby had to be on the receiving end of your punches, he'd likely change his opinion.
You keep it up girl!
Just started following your blog.
1st~Love that you love pink!!
2nd~ I love your style.
3rd~ Hope to learn some interesting things and looks like I found the place!
Too funny! Every one has to have a starting point, but soon enough you'll be punching like Ali! You tell that funny husband of yours to make sure he's on his toes and ready to duck and dodge.
What a great example you're setting for your children. That is the reward right there - as much as the health benefits to yourself is great, teaching our children is the ultimate gift!
Great job, hon!
