Hey everyone. Today was the first day of recovery week 1 for me. I did
the recovery and mobility workout for the first time, and I love it. I
can't wait until I can start doing it twice a week regularly. I am a
total cheerleader for foam rolling now. I has a foam roller for a while
even before getting X2, but I had never really learned how to use it.
If you have read through these posts you know before I started X2 I was
having lower back and hip pain. Just from the 2-3 min of foam rolling
in the regular workouts that has all but gone away. The 20 min sequence
in the recovery and mobility DVD is golden. It is probably a beginning
type of sequence, but the great thing is he basically says here we are
going to do 20 min of foam rolling do what you need to do. I urge you
if you are doing X2 without a foam roller or thinking of doing X2,
invest in one. You just cannot get the same results from stretching.
Here are my updated stats:
Weight 175.8
Waist 37.8"
Hips 38.5"
Chest 40.5"
Thighs 22"
Arms 12"
As
always, my body is holing on to my abdominal fat for dear life. I am
still losing quite a bit in my hips and my chest though. I had set a
goal to be down to 175 my mid May, and I should hit that mark. I am
sure my weight will go back up a little. I am going to post a pic of a chart of how my weight as fluctuated from diet power. I weigh myself every day so the program can track my metabolism. I am honestly not sure what my overall scale weight is going to
end up after X2. The lowest I have been in my adult life has been about
167 or so.I really do not care as long as I end up looking the way I want. Anyway, thanks for reading and I will check in with an update next week,
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.
