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: 645 Cardio/MBF Day 6

 Day 6 included cardio from 645 and the Power Ignite workout from MBF.

Power ignite has 3 EMOM blocks in which you get 40 seconds to do a certain number of reps (or as many reps as you can do) for an exercise. Blocks 1 and 2 have 5 EMOM rounds and have you doing one exercise. In block 1, you do 25 dumbell swings (or however many you can do in 40 seconds); in block 2, you do 8 walkouts to pushups (or however many you can do). The third block has 10 EMOM rounds that alternate between dumbell sledgehammers and mountain climbers. In the first EMOM round, you do 20 sledgehammers. In the second EMOM round, you do 40 mountain climbers. Then, you keep alternating between the two.

This is a tough workout. It goes by very fast, and you get more rest in this workout than you get in the others. But your heart rate is constantly up, and you get just enough time to catch your breath and take a sip of water before you start the next EMOM round.
