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!

BodyBeast Phase 1 Build Week 2 Day 1

Thanks a million Craig  

I'm with you with everything you said - that's just how I felt/feel!!!

And to have you along to share the pain with would be awesome thank you.


Phase 1 Build Week 2 Day 1 (actual week 2 day 1 but beast week 2 day 2 hmmm?? maybe stick to beast weeks?  )

Build legs - oh how we all look forward to leg day  

It went much better for me today, kept up better with far less pausing needed.
Although they all seem to go just a little bit faster than me grrrr

I kept the weight the same for Sumo's as that gave me knee pain last week so I watched my form and all is good.

Lunges and Step up lunges I got much better this week and although very little weight I did increase each set unlike last week where I crashed and burned and had to drop the weights to finish  

I really feel the parallel squat is too light on its own but because of the horrible horrible Bulgarians that follow I daren't go too high! But I did much better than last week so pleased with that.

The calf raises I did more reps and ooh feel that burn  and increased my in and outs significantly so overall feel really good.

I followed it up with TH's 10 minute Trainer Yoga flex. I've not done it before but felt a quick stretch might also help the muscles. It's goes much quicker than I'm used to but overall nice to stretch all the bits out.

I even foam rolled my quads for a few minutes just for good measure  and I didn't get the 'painful walk down the stairs - oh god that's gonna hurt tomorrow' feeling afterwards so I'm hoping for much less doms. I really hope that not famous last words.
