Day 54 was Abs and Core in Pilates and it was the last regular day of Lift 4, which was another full-body HIIT workout. This one has three blocks of three exercises, that you again do for three rounds. The first block does the 1-minute, 45 seconds, 30 seconds rotation, in block two you do the three exercises for 45 seconds, 30 seconds, and 15 seconds, respectively, and then in the last block, you do the exercises for 30 seconds and 15 seconds (the jumping lunges, so 15 seconds per leg. Then you do three burnout rounds in which you do all nine exercises, back to back, for 30 seconds each. Then finish with core and stretching. The entire cast, with one exception who was on vacation, does the workout, and Joel joins in and does about 95% of the workout. He does stop and walk around a bit, but for the most part, he is doing the entire thing. It is, again, a very tough workout (even Joel is winded at the end), even if you modify some of the moves, but it goes by quickly (it lasts just over 30 minutes.
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.
