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: T25/Lift-4/645 Corrective and Foam Rolling- Day 10

Day 10 was the two recovery routines from Lift 4, and the Speed 1.0 workout from T25. Today, I flipped the order so I did the Lift 4 workouts in the morning and the T25 workout in the evening.

In Speed 1.0 you do about 9 HIIT exercises for 1 minute (or 30 seconds on each side where applicable) and then you do a stretch for 30 seconds in between each HIIT exercise. So, essentially, the format is HIIT, stretch, HIIT stretch, etc. So, you are doing an interval workout with the stretching being the recovery portion. Then, once you are in the last 10 minutes, you do all of the HIIT exercises, back to back and then you end with a slower exercise to bring your heart rate down, and then you get the 3-minute cooldown.
