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!

P90X2 Week 9, Day 2 PAP Upper

P90X2 Week 9, Day 2

PAP Upper

I don't know what to say about this one other than I was some how shell shocked! 
It went by crazy fast and the pace is relentless.

Similar to Lower in that 4 moves done in circuit complex, twice.

Renegade Rows (with push ups), Plyo push ups, forearm plank with feet on med ball for 60 secs, Superman with weighted bar for 45 secs

I think yesterday took more out of me than I thought because this was tough today. My push up strength just wasn't there on the Renegade Rows, which I normally really enjoy. I did 2 x 10lb / 4.5kg sets 1 & 2 then down to 7.5lb / 3.4kg because I just couldn't keep up with them.
Plyos I did fast normals on my knees, Plank I did the best I could which was better than I thought it would be and the Supermans I could hold for the full time in sets 3 & 4.


Towel Pull ups, Med ball pike, Step up Hammer Press & Roller Angel

Towel pull ups I also struggled with only managing 6 or 7 reps, Med ball pike was crazy hard even with no weight. I could do the step up (not really a step up just lean on the raised leg) I did 1st set with 2 x 7.5lb / 3.4kg but then did the rest with 2 x 10lb / 4.5kg. Roller Angel is well a roller angel I can do them but lots of work to do to get my elbows, and hands to touch the floor.

There is so much kit needed for this and I was in a small room and changing kit and moving on to the next move was craziness!!! I thought things moved fast in P90X3 but wow this was super fast, next to no breaks at all   

It felt like about 20 mins had gone by when it was actually an hour  
It was weird!!! I know new workouts take a little getting used to but boy my body feels a bit like it been rolled over with a steam roller tonight
