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!

P90X3 Cold Start followed by CVX

X3 Cold Start followed by CVX

OMG this one is brutal  In a nutshell Plyometrics with a weight  

Admittedly not tons of jumping but we certainly leave the ground a fair bit and all while carrying a weight!

I started this one with my 3kg medball = Stupid, after 40 secs of jacks while pressing it over head I knew I couldn't last the full 60 secs let alone the next 29 mins so I dropped to a 2kg Dumbell for the rest of the session.
One part I had to drop to no weight but the rest I just about managed 

The Travelling Tire Twist is pretty tough and I had to slow down a little for those although still fun.
The Arc Press Lunge was the hardest for me but then Mary Katherines have been a bit of a nemesis of mine. And these are Mary Katherines but each time you jump up to change legs the weight goes from one hip in an arc over your head to the the other hip   

My main problem was oxygen, just couldn't get enough and as it is CV = cardio vascular - it really didn't take me long to know that this one really works the CV system OMG does it! Reminded me a little of my first day of Plyo X lol

This one has the next level for me that I guess I was looking for so that's a good thing and I hope it doesn't take long for my cardio system to get better because I hate having to slow down or stop because I just can't suck enough wind in grrrr
Muscle fatigue I can cope with better for some reason!
