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!

P90X2 Core


X2 Core

Well that was tough and easy all at the same time lol

Overall it was easier than I expected but yes there was some really tough stuff that will take some mastering but it was fun.

I need to get some more air in my Stab. ball as it was too soft and made everything really hard so much so that I scrapped it a few times it was just silly I just sank into it = not good. I thought it was hard enough but how wrong can you be  

Inchworm was tough with my long legs and tight hamstrings so I can't keep them as straight as I would have liked but I did my best.

Burpees I did on the floor because of soft Stab. ball and as I haven't mastered them on the floor yet it was more good practice. I still can't jump both feet together very well but my feet are getting quicker after my week of combat so I'm hopeful I can get there soon. Every inch of progress is still progress!

Screamer lunges were really fun lol and need more weight in the 3 point squat press. I used a 5lb/2.3kg plate instead of my med ball (that hasn't arrived yet) and it really wasn't heavy enough for the presses. 
But I also used it in the Dreya rolls and I got my first one i.e. unassisted rise from the floor  it was a little ungainly and a little stumble but I got up there at last. It took a few attempts though. Couldn't get a clean second one though! Will try next time with a bit more weight to help  

Looking forward to Plycide tomorrow
