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.

Product Review: OZERO Winter Thermal Gloves Men Women Touch Screen Water Resistant Windproof Anti Slip Gloves
I live in
Minnesota which can get some very cold winters. I was looking for a pair of
winter gloves that I could wear when I knew I would be in a situation in which
I would need the use of my hands, such as getting mail out of my locked
mailbox, without having to take the gloves off. To that end, these definitely
work. That is not to say that your hands can never get cold while wearing them,
but if you are going to be outside for a short period of time in very cold
weather, or want a good pair of winter driving gloves, these are definitely a
good option. You can use the touchscreen of a smartphone or tablet with the
index finger of the glove, but it does not work as well as using your bare
hand. The sizing chart is fairly accurate, but if your hands are kind of
between sizes, the size that the chart tells you to get may be a little bit
big. Overall, however, I do like these and would recommend them.
