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 Week 5 Block 2 Eccenctric Upper

X3 Week 5 Block 2

Eccentric Upper

I was unsure about weights for this one but I got it somewhere near I think.

Is was great to get back to lifting some iron but this one surprised me by how much sweating I did for a weights workout  

No new moves really - just knew names lol. 
Mixture of Push ups, pull ups and normal weight lifting upper body moves but the main thing is that the down (the eccentric) movement is for the count of 3 on every move i.e. for pull ups....pull up and chin over, then lower yourself down for the count of 3 and repeat 10 times!  
We do 20 different movements too.

I tried to do any many full push ups as I good getting shallower as I got more tired. But eventually I had to drop to knees before I face planted. The slow counts really do you in! 
I didn't manage all the pull variations either - not a real shocker I know but still.
I did manage all the Dumbell moves, some only just, hence I got the weights right but something tells me I've got some hellish DOMS coming tomorrow? I hope not as I've took a little pre-bed protein to help recovery and I might try some ZMA too!

It's the new Triometrics tomorrow - can't wait
