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!

SO after a small punch of the air thought I better try again to make sure it wasn’t a fluke lol. Good plank and I did another one - didn’t quite touch the floor but only an inch or two away but YAHOOOOO dance so come down from the high with 2 more burpees but drop to knees as still got the wod to do.

Wow did this one make me sweat - dripping off me it was - Pheeww! I also had a strange pain in my upper right ab area while doing KB swings - that was the only reason I took a break - it was still when I carried on too - not sure what it was will see if it there next time?

But once I recovered a little I had to try another push up just to see if I could get closer to the floor….and YES I touched my nose to the floor,  and made it up - I had my feet about a 6-8 inch apart and not together but party OMG YAY ME I GOT ANOTHER PUSH UP!!!!! party
