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.

Workout Update: Power-90 Master's Series Day 6

 Day 6 of the Master's series workout is Plyo-Legs. If you have done P90x it will not surprise you that this workout is basically a combination of the Plyometrics workout and the Legs and Back workout. You will see some of the exact same moves and variations on some of the moves in those workouts. It is definitely challenging, although not quite as high-impact as the p90x plyo workout since it does not have jump knee tucks and the guitar jumps (whatever those were called). Most of the moves last a minute and Tony does show or have one of the two people doing the workout with him show modified versions of the moves. So, even though there is not a dedicated modifier (they kind of switch up who is modifying) and no modifier track you can watch that mostly focuses on the modifier, you can easily see the modified versions of the various moves. After that I did ab-ripper 200, and was able to get through all 200 reps (although I still have to pause during some of the moves).
