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: Lift-4/645 Corrective and Foam Rolling Day 39

 Day 39 was lower body foam rolling from 645 and Week 5 Legs in Lift 4.

The Legs workout was a 50/50 workout so you do three blocks of leg exercises, each block containing two exercises that you do back-to-back for three sets without any rest between the exercises, and you get 30 seconds between sets. Then, you do three sets of HIIT exercises (fast feet burpees, jump sumos, and triple bear) that you do for 60 seconds, 45 seconds, and 30 seconds, respectively. Then you finish out with three sets of core, alternating between a weighted crunch/leg lift combo and floor-to-ceiling leg lifts.

The leg workout was hard. I was pretty gassed when I got to the HIIT, so much so I was taking unscheduled breaks left and right. I think that the lower body foam rolling in the morning did help the leg workout in the evening as my legs were definitely not as tight as normal.
