In a move nobody expected, the bean counters at BODi decided it was time to take advantage of the P90X brand before it faded into obscurity. Which leads us to the release of the fully rebooted P90X under new trainer Waz Ashayer.  Indeed, BODi is exercising the right to use the intellectual property of what […]

BODi…Beachbody…whatever, has released Dig Deeper with Shaun T into the wild.  At last, I get to judge another would-be contender to the Body Beast throne.  Our last voyage of the damned into BODi’s fitness catalog brought us LIIFT More with Joel Freeman.  And while I’m pleased to say he delivered and delivered quite well…there was […]

Some may be wondering about the Parrot since the site/YouTube updates have been so scarce.  I thought it was worth letting those know what has been happening, and what plans are moving forward. Let’s take it from the top and look back to 2019.  Things got a little crazy for all of us, didn’t they?  […]
