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!

My own circuits to rest shoulder

My foots fine after finding some triggers in my foot and rolling on a golf ball = short term pain for long term painlessness = bargain!

My shoulder still isn't overly happy, had a word with physio yesterday and he said about 10 days before I can try another push up but I can do other stuff that doesn't cause pain.

So today I decided I would throw something different into the mix and try not to upset my shoulder so I came up with a little circuit of
10 x Deadlift
10 x Bicep Curl - with easy bar to help with stability
10 x crazy frog
3 x 10 seconds of Superman, Bananman
10 x side tri rise
x 3 circuits upping the weight each time

Felt great to deadlift again (37kg for 10 reps I didn't think was too bad considering its many many months since I lifted heavy), and the crazy frogs were pretty easy but the side tri rise - I did 5 reps of everything as a warm up before I started and 5 reps into first round my shoulder wasn't happy so I canned the side tri rise and carried on.

It made a change but boy it was no fun compared to working out with Tony

Then I spent a little over 20 minutes on my Elliptical - I did Tabata Sprints followed by incline intervals.

Worked hard and good calorie burn but I'm so looking forward to Kenpo tomorrow.
I decided to give it a few more days before I thinking about trying a chatangra in yoga! I know its mainly the down and no push but should I risk it?
10 days since my last push up with be Monday so maybe X stretch another kenpo and may be a plyo - I enjoy yoga but think it might be risky for my shoulder. Prob give Yoga a miss completely, hope I haven't lost too much strength and start phase 3 on Monday and see how it goes?
