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 X3 Yoga

X3 Yoga

Wow that is the way to do Yoga!!!! It's much faster than I'm used to from X but had a little experience from X2 so I really enjoyed it!
It's called Hatha yoga - I think that's what Tony said while I was upside down at some point?

Each movement you're supposed to do with the breath which is fine if you know what you're doing lol

I have to say for those that haven't done yoga before I think people will struggle with this one but I really enjoyed it. You really need to know the moves as the cueing is no where near as good as Yoga X - mainly because of the time element I know but for newbies it would be really hard.

My one gripe is considering one of the slogans is 'a modification for every move' - they don't modify camel. I mainly noticed it because it's one I still need to modify and thanks to Yoga X I know how but I'm sure it will bother others that don't grrrrrr Tony grrrrrr.
They've changed a few names too i.e. cat/cow is now cat/dog and crane is now called crow! Tony comments on the fact that he doesn't know why so who knows lol

Anyway I loved it, 30 mins was really spot on, I could have gone on longer for sure and I didn't burn many calories at all i.e. 170 cals but I felt stretched, energised and refreshed after it which was pretty awesome.
It fits in perfectly for day 3  and I'm ready and rarely to go for Day 4 The Challenge 

I think you guys will love it too!
