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!

Deltoid stain from push ups without warmup with poor form

My planned wod went out the window today after trying to show someone how well my push ups were coming along!

I didn't warm up properly (just a few arm swings) and dropped down and did a push up - which was a struggle but I did it  bigsmile(which I have to stay was great progress as last time I showed her a few months back - I failed and pretty much face planted  blush ) but when I got up my shoulder hurt - I figured just a minor strain.

She told my position was not great so I got down and did another which she said was better.

But when I stood up my shouldder really hurt and within a few minutes I couldn't lift my arm for the pain   beatup OMG!! I guess I badly strained my front delt - that was not on the plan - I 'm pretty pissed, and made an apointment to see a pyhsio on monday, to make sure I haven't done it any major damage!

We live and learn don't we!

Note to self - push ups to me are pretty much still max effort and I know for certain I wouldn't do Bodyweight Deadlift without lots of warm up first so why should my push ups be any different = lessons learnt 1) Don't be stupid or you will pay with pain!!, 2) Always warm up properly 3) Check your start postiton is correct always!! 4) Just because of lots of people can just drop and turn out 20 push ups and do push ups for warm up - I'm clearly not there yet!!
