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- Round 2 -Day 56

 For day 56 I did the two recovery workouts from Lift 4 again, and that wraps up round 2 of the program.

For the next phase I am going to go back to two-a-day workouts. In the morning, I am going to do T25 and then in the evening I will do another round of Lift 4. I really feel that my cardio fitness (or lack thereof) is holding me back right now. So I wanted to add in AM cardio that I can do on an empty stomach. Since I do not have space to put the Beachbody bike, I figured I would just do one of the more cardio-focused programs. 

I will do as much unmodified in T25 as I can, and then try not to modify in Lift 4 (or go as long as I can unmodified). I will, however, do all  the push-ups in T25 on my knees and then do all the push-ups in Lift 4 on my toes. Hopefully, that will allow me to get full range of motion in the push-ups by the end of this phase. 

I am still going to do the upper and lower body foam rolling routines from 645 on the weekends, and just do the Lift 4 recovery routines on Wednesday and Sunday.
