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.

Day 68 was day 4 of Week 2 in Phase 3, which is the leg workout. For the leg workout, I did not go as heavy on some exercises as I could because I was still not feeling 100 percent, but I felt better than last week. I was able to increase the weight from what I used last week for nearly all of the exercises, and I felt entirely normal during the workout.
Choke Point , published in 2026, is the 25th novel in Brad Thor's long-running series of action-adventure thrillers centered around the character of Scot Harvath.

The book opens with a series of bombings in
Day 67 was day 3 of Week 2 in Phase 3, which is the arms workout. I was able to use heavier weights for a couple of the exercises, stuck with the same weight for some others, and reduced the weight for the final two sets of the W curls, starting at 17.5 lbs and dropping to 15 lbs because my form was going. However, I increased the weight on the reverse curls for the final set, going from 12

Kenny Johnson, who plays Norma's brother, Caleb, was also brought back and promoted to a series regular this season. Kevin Rahm was added as a recurring character, serving as the main
Day 66 was day 2 of Week 2 in Phase 3, which is the back-and-abs workout. Tonight I tried to take it easy and focus on a safe session. I was able to increase the weight on a couple of the exercises. For the J rows, I used a drop-set strategy, starting at 30 lbs for the heavy 6- and 8-rep sets, then dropping to 25 lbs for the 10- and 12-rep sets. I was also able to do the ab exercises for a longer
A Few Good Men is the 1992 legal drama film based on the Broadway play by Aaron Sorkin, who also wrote the screenplay. The movie was directed by Rob Reiner and features an incredible all-star cast. The film stars Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and Demi Moore in the leading roles. The supporting cast includes Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Pollak, James Marshall, J.T.
Day 65 was day 1 of Week 2 in Phase 3, which is the chest-and-triceps workout. For most of the exercises, I stuck with the same weights that I used last week. However, I was able to increase the amount of weight I used for both the standing chest flys and the lying down chest flys, which felt good. Even though I kept the weights consistent on the other movements, the workout was still tough and
Ninja III: The Domination is the 1984 martial arts film that is the third in what fans call the "Ninja Trilogy," released by Cannon Films in the early 1980s, featuring real ninjutsu practitioner Sho Kosugi. The film stars Kosugi, Lucinda Dickey, and Jordan Bennet. The supporting cast includes David Chung, Dale Ishimoto, James Hong, and John La Motta. Like the second installment of the
Days 63 and 64 were the Dig Deeper rest days. For day 63, I did the LIIFT4 Roll and Recover routine. This session focuses entirely on foam rolling and stretching to relieve muscle soreness from the heavy lifting days. It helped loosen up my muscles after a demanding week of workouts. For day 64, I did the X-Stretch routine. Because of the dizziness issues I had earlier in the week, I adapted the
Day 62 brought us to day 5 of Phase 3, which closes out the lifting week. This was the shoulders-and-abs workout. In this one, you do two shoulder exercises followed by an ab/core exercise. In this one, you do only three sets of the lifting exercises, with 10 reps per set. The core exercises are all 45 seconds long, and you do those for three sets as well. So, this is another fast-paced workout.
Day 61 was day 4 of Phase 3, which is the leg workout. It is the longest workout of the Phase, at just over 50 minutes. This workout uses the exact same 12-10-8-6 reverse pyramid format for the primary lifts, meaning you tackle heavy sets of 12, 10, 8, and then a heavy set of 6 as the workout progresses. Because there is no core component to break things up, lower-body fatigue builds up quickly.
