Day 37 marked a week from the transition from the 1-2 workouts to the 3-4 workouts, which are mostly just longer versions of the 1-2 workouts. Most of the actual exercises in the workouts are the same, they just go longer or they get added on to. For example, in the cardio workout, instead of two rounds of three moves, there are 4 rounds of the three moves (except for the kicking portion, which stays the same as in the 1-2 workouts). And the ab-ripper 200 workout is the same 10 exercises, just doing 20 reps of each exercise instead of 10. In the sculpt workout, there is an additional "block" of moves and some of the exercises in the original three blocks get modified a bit. For example, instead of the set of 7 wide, 7 tri, and 7 standard width push-ups, that move gets changed to 7 wide, 7 tri, and as many standard width push-ups as you can do. It is aptly named wide-tri-die. So, as I said in a prior post, there is a ton of repetition in Power-90, but given that it is really meant to prepare you for the harder workouts of p90x and provide you with a solid base to work from, that is not necessarily a bad thing.
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.
