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!

Piyo Define Upper Body

Piyo Define Upper Body

This is the next one on the calendar but it strangely carries on from lower - which was yesterday on the calendar....so no warm up  

Very strange I feel, if they are meant to be done as a double then she should say so tut tut Chalean and the beachbody crew!

Anyway I skipped back to the warm up for Lower which is a nice little 2 minute warm up and then carried on with upper. 
Good 20 min workout, fairly gentle but with quite a few tricep push ups in  
Some plank work, side arm planks, core work with bikes and rolls into boat (in TH''s language) and some beast into kick throughs (I did these with TH after the donkey kicks in X3 can't remember what he calls them). New to me was the crouching crow push ups!
So got a nice little sweat on and quite enjoyed it, thanks to TH's stuff nothing too challenging for me.

I will definitely be combining the two 20 mins define workouts into one and it should flow much better.
