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!

Combat 30 and Pump Challenge

So early christmas for me today Les Mills Pump arrived    


Combat 30

Had more fun today because I had a better idea what was coming but I really felt like it was just a warm up so as I was super excited about Les mills Pump arriving I just had to have a go...

Pump Basics and Pump Challenge

Basics was just set up and bicep curls - I did them empty 7kg bar

Then Pump Challenge which is about 30 mins and was so much fun. I only used empty bar to ease in to see how it went and felt.

Seems like an age since I've squated with a bar on my back  
Deadlifts felt good, not full depth to the floor like I'm used to but still felt it so was great. 
Deadlift + Row was a different move but very effective. 
Clean and Press - wow missed this one too! 
Chest press on the floor felt odd and limiting on the range compared to normal but still felt it, but in the arms more than the chest  
The lunges oh wow considering I only had 7kg on my back they burned and burned and I had skip a few OMG - I'll notice that "change" tomorrow as they like to call it. 
For shoulders I started with 2 x 3kg DB's but that was too much so I dropped to 2 x 1.25kg plates and that was much better. Not worked at those angles quite like that before.

There was no cool down or stretch included which surprised me but I did my own / Tony's inspired cool down stretches and felt like I actually got in a workout today.  

They explain form very well which was great. I felt areas of body woke up like never before which was quite unexpected! Totally awesome loved it!!!
