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 45

Combat 45

Well today was hard but only in trying to keep up with the new moves and routines, they move really fast and I found it tough. Ok most of the way through but one section I really stuffed up.
I'm so used to Tony and most dvds to be fair when they say right hand they move their right hand and I've got my head used to that i.e. I can look at the screen and copy them to know what I'm doing but in Combat they say right hand and actually lift their left hand to make it so that you can mirror them - Does that make sense?
So I start this dodgy section wrong foot forward so it was not going well, also then used the correct leg hoping to swop when we did the other side but I just couldn't cope with it and got really frustrated  so it lost a lot of its momentum for me and my right leg did more than my left!!
I thought about redoing the section by with my frustration I gave it best.  

I know it will be better next time but grrrr it's got me tonight!!

I also know that these dvd's have to suit beginner to advance so they can't go too slow but the instruction is lacking a little sometimes I think - I guess when you get used to the Pro that is Tony everyone else just doesn't quite cut it lol

Sorry but I'm still a little frustrated  - does it show lol
