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 Total Synergistics

X3 Cold Start followed by Total Synergistics  

Great fun, Cold start is more than just a warm up I reckon lol definitely nice and warm after it lol

Total Synergistics was lots of fun! 
I had to rewind a couple of bits to get my form sorted but really enjoyed it.

With the core work built in you can see why they didn't bother with AB Ripper  I didn't manage all the Brannon Boat but will try next time.

Pull knee pull was tough with the pull up assist which was a little frustrating. It really dug in my shin as I tried to raise my knees - I tried just one knee up at a time and that was a little better. (That's one thing I'm disappointed about the dvd - no demo of these with the chin-up assist - only Dreya using the bands as modification grrr)
Although thinking about it now, the Chin-up Circle crunch was easier and thats probably because I have more chin up strength so maybe I just need to get stronger lol.

I've not done any pull/chin up for what feels like weeks so it felt great to get back to some  

and don't talk to me about Crawly plyo push ups

  1. I feel the same about those push ups. I did my first run through total syngeristics last night and was shouting very colorful things at my mat by the end!
