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!

Post P90X fit test done.

I completed P90X and pretty much loved every minute of it ;)

Visually I don't think I look that different - I know I am different but certainly no 'WOW look at the transformation' going on and that's mainly because I didn't stick to the nutrition plan. I am eating good clean food but working that in the constraints of family eating if you know what I mean. But also it's a food plan I can stick with not just a 90 day diet and then back to before.

That being said I'm really pleased with my results the main ones being...
I've lost..
1cm from my chest,
1.5cm from my waist :cheer:
1.5cm from my hips :P
and over 1cm off each thigh  ;)
= approx. 2% body fat gone

Chin ups went from hardly moving up at all to 1/4 of the way up
Sit and reach went from -3 1/2" to +1/2" = 4" gain on my reach :blink:
and wait for it....
Push ups from 0 to 2 standard width and 4 military push ups :woohoo:  (that's 2 new Personal Bests for me !!!!)

So overall I'm really really pleased with my results from P90X and looking forward to doing Combat and P90X2 - Bring it!!!

NB If anyone is thinking about maybe doing P90X - just do it - you won't regret it!!!!
