Day 53 was the Flow 1 workout in Pilates and the shoulders and arms circuit workout in Lift-4. Again, you do all of the same exercises from last week but do them in a different order, and there is almost no rest in between the sets. It is another quad set workout in which you do three rounds of four exercises, ten reps each alternating one shoulder, one biceps, one shoulder, and one triceps, and then you do three rounds of burnout in which you do one shoulder exercise, one biceps exercise, and one triceps exercise, each for 30 seconds. Then, you finish with core and stretching. It is again a very tough workout, especially if you can up your weight. If you are a P90x alumn, be aware that, even though this workout contains many of the same moves (or very similar moves) as P90X and P90X3 contain, you have a lot less rest between sets, so you will probably have to use much lighter weights for some of the exercises as you used in P90x because you usually get 30-45 seconds between the exercises in P90x, where in this one you get 15 seconds, max (and sometimes not even that much time).
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.
