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!

Rest day

Today I'm gonna take a rest day. my upper body is still pretty achey but I could push through but today my knees are not happy at all, my left one in particular. Sitting ie anything 90 degrees or less is really painful so doing legs and back today I thought would be very silly.

I find it hard as I really want to do my workout today to keep on schedule and the fact that I love doing it but today I just feel I need to listening to my body.

Still not sure whats upsetting my knees - is it doing yoga barefoot as I have tibial torsion and working without my shoes that have ortho insoles in seems to upset things a little. ( Ithink next yoga session I might try in my shoes)
Or is it runners knee?? (not that I have ran anywhere?)
Is it just lots of work, jumping about nearly every day and its just not used to it?

Overall I've been trying to get deeper into my lunges - has that put extra strain on them?? I don't bloody know grrrrrrr
