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!

Today is major forced rest day for me - during warmup for yesterdays wod I tried a different assist for my chin ups - I usually stretch a blue band across my rack pins and stand on it but I decided to try hanging the bands down from the chin/pull bar. Like I've see in some vids.
I tried a green one looped round the bar and then the blue looped thru that - I tried and didn't make it high enough so I added the black one with the blue one and tried again (with one foot in the bands the other on the floor and for balance) - well I made it and then on the 2nd or 3rd attempt I kicked the barbell resting on the other side of my rack (where I normally bench from) - swore a little a figured I'd bruised my foot and never though any more of it. Did my squat wod and never thought about it again.
Last night after dinner and a bit tv I stoo d up and balance awkwardly on the same foot and got a shooting pain thru my foot and a deep dull ache in the arch area - long story short as the night went I was in agony and I mean 10/10 tears in the eyes pain - so think I may have sprained or badly bruised my foot because after a unbelievable nights unrest today I'm still hobling round like a don't know what - elevated foot and pain killers are the only relief I can get grrrrrrr

I thought I'd be brave and get something upper bady done but on second thoughts I think that might be stupid so gonna give it best for today and maybe tomorrow and see how I am.
