Welcome to my fitness log

I've created this to keep everything to do with my fitness journey in one place for easy reference.
I've listed links to places I visit regularly or places I think are interesting or valuable resources.

I started doing Crossfit September 22nd 2009 and I loved it - it's totally awesome and it made me a better person in so many different ways!

After nearly 4 years of Crossfit and wrist injury I tried a home fitness DVD for a change and something new - Rip 60 was really great and then I found Beachbody / Tony Horton's P90X!
It's THE best home fitness program ever!!!
It changed my body in so many amazing ways and got my cardio fitness, my core and overall strength including push up strength better than ever before!!

I now do many Beachbody programs as they are all so great.
I 'm a big Tony Horton fan because he makes me work hard but makes me laugh at the same time.
After I completed P90X, I did P90X3, P90X2 and some P90X+. I''ve tried other Beachbody programs including the P90, Piyo, Focus T25,
21 Day Fix Extreme, Country Heat, BodyBeast and Insanity, The Aslyum 1 and 2. Completed 21 Day Fix and 22 Min hard Core.

Did some Insanity Max 30 and Core de Force but my knees can't handle jumping every day so I have to mix them in.
Shift shop is great and looking forward to the new 80 Day obsession.

I'm the fittest I've ever been in my life and still getting stronger every day!

P90X Chest and Back

So after two rough days doing nothing recovering and a total of 4 days suffering with with very bad DOMS I felt much better and got back to it!

Chest and back went ok tonight - I decreased the assistance on my chin up max by taking the middle band out and it was too tough so I raised the stirrup up a tad and went with it. Bought my numbers down to 6-8 (and a 3) but that good because I know I ill be stronger for it ;)

Push ups I aimed at 8 reps instead of 10 and aimed to get them all on my feet - was better but still a few military ones still had to go knees - maybe next time!!

P90X Legs and Back

I managed to get this all done tonight - wahoo!!! Things are getting better.

Went well and upped my weights for calf raises and did the same or more reps for pull ups/chin up with less assistance which was really pleasing.

Afterwards I took out the the central red band on my chin up assist and see how many I can get done next week ;)

Fountain of Youth Yoga

So I did 10 mins hoovering just to see the 33 calls burnt tonight before I got going lol

I did Tony's Fountain of Youth Yoga which was great - still can't do all the ab section but getting better.

Then I did my Egoscue stretches trying to improve my dysfunction according to his book - after Tony says look it up in X3.

P90X Shoulders and Arms

Pushed hard on this tonight and it went pretty well. Shoulder was a little tweaky after the first set of chair dips which I did on Power stands so didn't do the second set. A couple of PR's so that always nice ;)
