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!

Run round tower 2

After a crazy silly week I decided to get back at it today - went to do my PU challenge from where I left off and on 2nd rep felt a pull thru left upper shoulder into pec area - shook it off and tried another 2 but the pull felt worse every rep so decided that was not maybe such a good idea. I guess I need to warm up more?  I didn’t expect that this morning!
I tried a couple of chin ups and couldn’t believe how week I felt - it’s only been a week not a month big surprise
I was going to do wod from Sunday but after this morning decided not to be stupid so thought I’d so some lower body and try running again. So I ran round the tower again slightly slower than last try and wahoo - I made it without stopping approx 500m.  party  Walked for about 300m and then did some 50m shuttle runs type stuff (25m of it is a fair uphill gradient) x 8 = another 400m so really pleased with that - at least I acheived something today.
Stretched well afterwards and hope to not be in any pain tomorrow pray .


I've been trying to workout why I felt like I did last week - I felt like I was overtraining and after this morning I don't think I was warming up properly (I also thought for greasing the groove it didn't take much warm up but hey ho) so I will definitely try warming up better in future when I do my challenge stuff in a morning and also only on WOD days so I give my muscles some recovery time because doing it every day was obviously too much for me. It would be great to see some more progress in my Push ups though I have to be honest.
