Day 88 was x-stretch. Overall, it went well. I was again able to do the low-squats for the entire 35 seconds or however long that ends up being. I was also able to get a little bit lower/deeper into the various hamstring stretches. I will have this workout one more time on Sunday, and I plan on doing it just before I do the Chalean Extreme fit test.

Book Review: Physics for Dummies
This is a book that introduces the concepts that you will learn in a first-semester physics class, like the laws of motion, gravitation, conservation of energy, and the like. It does have some examples, and some problems that you can work out on your own, but it is mostly the kind of explanatory material that you get in the chapter reading. But, it distills all of the concepts so that they are generally more understandable than what you get from a textbook (and some teachers). It is definitely geared more toward high school physics or what in college is referred to as algebra-based physics. As most people who have taken calculus-based physics already know, calculus is mainly used to derive the equations, but you still mainly use algebra to solve the problems. So, what most teachers do is, in algebra-based physics classes they assign the "easier" versions of the problems and in calculus-based physics classes, they assign the harder problems. So, the kind of examples and the problems in this are definitely the easier versions, but it is a good primer even if you are going to be taking calculus-based physics because it will introduce you to the concepts, give you some experience with solving physics problems, and put you in a good position once you start class. And, for those who get this just because they want to learn something about physics, or refresh their knowledge of the subject, it is good for that too.

Workout Update: P90X Day 87
Day 87 was the last Kenpo-X workout in this round. It went very well and I think it was the best of the Kenpo workouts in the entire round. I was able to easily keep up with (and sometimes even go faster than) the people in the video. I have just a few more workouts, and then I will be doing the Chalean Extreme fit test on Sunday.

Workout Update: P90X Day 86
Day 86 was the last core synergistics workout. I decided I am going to do the cardio workout in place of the second core workout this week. I am still not a fan of this workout, but I think that is mostly because it is probably the hardest one for me to do. But, I can tell it has gotten a bit easier from the first time I did it to now. But, I have a long way to go before I can even get close to keeping up with the people in the video.
