I started week 3 of P90x2 today. I did the X2 core workout again. Really nothing new to report on that one. I am still making progress with the moves. I am far from perfect on some of them, but getting better on all of them. Here are my weekly stats.
Weight 177,
Waist 38" (down another .8",
Hips 39", chest 41.5",
Right thigh 22",
Left thigh 23",
Right and left arms about 12".
I definitely have a lot less aches and pains because of the core moves and foam rolling. Considering I have not done the recovery and mobility DVD because of my class, that is pretty good. After the semester ends in May, when I switch from phase 2 to phase 3 I am going to work that into the rotation. I am also going to do it during the recovery week between phases 1 and 2. The low-back issues I was having before X2 have almost all gone away. I think it is a combination of all the core work in phase 1 of X2 and my new bed. Anyway, I have posted a weekly progress pic on the team beachbody message board of you are so inclined to go look. I will put my before and after pics on the blog when I am all done with the program in June. Thanks for reading, and feel free to ask questions or leave (non-spam) comments. If you want to be able to e-mail me just click the link on the left to have me coach you for free, then I will see your messages faster.
Here you will find things about fitness and nutrition, mainly (but not exclusively) in relation to the Beachbody programs like P90x and Insanity. And, I will start adding reviews for Books, DVDs and Blu-Rays, and other products. All views and opinions on this blog are my own.
Welcome
Welcome to my ever-evolving blog. It started out as a blog on Beachbody workouts and products, mainly when I was a Beachbody coach. I no longer coach, not because I don't believe in Beachbody's programs (I subscribe to Beachbody on Demand and use their workouts every day), I am just not a salesperson and hated that aspect of it. I am more than willing to answer questions about my experiences with their products and the various workouts, and I feel freer to do so without the appearance of giving a biased review of something.
I have also started adding reviews for various things I have purchased like movies, books, CDs, and other products. This was brought about by a fight with Amazon in which all of my reviews were removed over a completely bullshit allegation that I posted a review that violated their terms of service. After going back and forth with the morons in the community-reviews department (even after they admitted that my posts did not violate their guidelines) they restored my account (which took them six months to do), but I have been posting my reviews on my blog to have them preserved in case something like that happens again. And here, I will post uncensored reviews so I will swear from time to time and post reviews that may be longer than Amazon's character limit. Everything I post here on any topic or product is my personal opinion, and I take no compensation for any product reviews I post. I am a member of Amazon's vine program and because I get those products for free, I keep those reviews on Amazon only, but everything I have purchased with my own money, whether from Amazon or some other store/website/outlet, I will post here.
I also plan to do some longer blog posts on various topics, such as how to learn physics, how to get through calculus, and longer reviews of workout programs as I do them. Basically, whatever strikes me as interesting at the time. As you can see if you navigate around the blog, I had many years in between postings. During that time I was going back to school to get an engineering degree, and learning material that I avoided my first time through college was a different experience and one that gave me a lot of insight into how to do well in those classes, which I will try to impart here for those who are looking to get a science or engineering degree.
