Monday 1/28

Today, we talked about our capstone projects and went through the syllabus. We looked at an example of Hormonal disruptors. and we looked at an example of a project poster that we have to work on next class period.

P90x Marketing

P90x is a program that is supposed to get you in the best body shape ever after only 90 days. The program includes 12 intense workouts that use resistance and body/weight training, cardio, plyometrics, ab work, martial arts, and yoga. It also includes a nutrition plan, fitness guide, and workout calendar. 

This 90 day program is for both men and women. People become interested in this program because it makes them believe that in 90 days you would be in the best shape ever. The commercials used with people's real life stories, and the program itself get people motivated to lose weight and get in shape. Basically the target audience is for the people that want/need to get in shape. 

If someone isn't happy with the results and they thought it would be something different then shown, they get their money back 90 days within purchase. the program itself is 90 days so they made their money back guarantee deadline 90 days after purchase. There are also three kit levels to buy from. The basic one, the better one, and the best one. Each one is more expensive, but with each one, the results get better and better. There is also a 3-day nutrition plan that is supposed to help with all the working out. 

The program itself will deliver the product. The costumer can find out about this program basically anywhere. It is online, there is a phone number, email, twitter account, facebook account, and youtube channel. The before and after pictures are very important because when people first learn of the program, they want proof that it actually works and they aren't wasting their money on something that doesn't work. 

The leader is Tony Horton. He spent over 20 years developing his expertise in the fitness world. his knowledge and experience led to him creating the number 1 best-selling home fitness program in America. This program really targets the muscle areas and it makes you go deep into the workout that you feel it within  the day. More people should learn about this. People that have succeeded in this program should talk about it online and convince people to buy the program and test it out. To make more profit, extra nutrition products should be added. It would higher the value and the profits. 

You might be wondering why P90x and not Insanity? P90x seems like a more researched and approved workout than Insanity. There is also the 10 minute body workout by Tony Horton also, but it seems like a mini version of this. 

My Rejected Capstone Idea

My major is Business Management and my career is Wedding Planning, so I wanted to create a way for the less fortunate to have their dream wedding. It was one issue I can think of in the wedding world. The teachers did not like it so they rejected it. Now I have to re-think and come up with a totally new idea before April. I am thinking to focus only on the Business part of it and not on the wedding part because then it would be easier to find an issue within small businesses.

What's Wrong With Capstone?

Capstone is the most dreaded class by all the seniors in the RCHS program. It is useless and irritating. The most awful thing about it is the capstone project. The teachers make us spend so much of our time on this project that we would not really even think about later on in our lives. Capstone class is really nothing to the senior students. They expect us to use that time for our projects, but all students do is talk and roam the internet. Without the actual Capstone class, the lives of us seniors would be so much easier and we would not have to worry about this thing practically killing us at the end. Then there's the actual presentation. ): Some people have problems speaking or presenting in public, and I know that speaking publicly is a requirement in the real world, but this project makes us dread our whole senior year.
