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 Chest, Shoulders and Tri's

X2 Chest, Shoulders and Tri's

This one is brand new to me - it's one of the bonus/alternative workouts that you can choose to do that I didn't do when I originally went through X2.

It was really good. I was short on time so didn't mess about with med balls or sticking my foot on anything, just used stability ball for tricep extentions and chair for a couple of moves and it was good fun.

Chatarocker push ups (not new to me as I remember them from I think X3?) are still hard for me and seem to hurt my elbow so after two painful ones I just did chaturanga push ups. (which I'm still pretty week at  

Was really pleased with my push ups to side arm arm balance, good deep depth and I felt my form was great  

Tricep dips I did on power stands the first round and although wary from the past I did the second round using the chair so that I could go deeper. Pleased that I got no pain going to parallel  I have been guilty of going too deep and hurting my shoulder so chuffed with that!

There was a strip set of shoulder press which was kind of new - knew to Tony's X's anyway but done some in the little bit of beast that I did so that was good. Didn't go crazy heavy as didn't know how the whole thing would go but good fun.
