Just finished my last workout of week 2, Balance and Power. I got better at most of the exercises. Some of the stability ball ones were still quite a challenge. You really have to work to keep the ball from rolling around on you too much. That part is a workout in and of itself. You can get a great workout doing the modified moves without all the equipment, but I really think you get the most out of the workout with a stability ball even though it will cause quite a lot of frustration until you get used to the moves.
You can really tell that the first phase of X2 is all about laying the foundations for the next 2 phases. Which if you may remember from one of my previous posts is the best way to get into a workout program. If you are interested in ordering X2 (or any of the other programs) you can do so through my team beachbody link off to the left. There is an icon right on that page for P90x2 which will allow you to order it. If you do so I strongly encourage you to join team beachbody. It is free, you get me as your coach, and if you log your workouts in the Supergym you have the opportunity to earn $500 every day. You can join here Thanks for reading. I will update my stats tomorrow!
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.
