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 Lower body & Upper body

Thank Michael.

I took 3 days off to really rest and recover - I haven't had more than two days of in many months so I guess it was about time  

I rearranged my room on sat and got more mirrors in place so that I can check my alignment and form  
(I got used to not working out with a mirror from when I was self teaching myself crossfit but I think when you train on your own, it's always good to check and know you are, where you think you are)

Feeling fully rested, ready and raring to go today I did...

Piyo Define Lower body & Upper body (42 mins total)

Loved it, the lower was pretty easy for me but upper had me working harder  Those tricep push ups are tough and the crane/crow push ups are still weird but getting better) My form was pretty good and I actually feel I've improved already  
My upper body needs to get stronger but I'm working on it every day.

The pacing is much better in this one (two actually but they kinda flow onto each other) and I feel I can check my form more where as Sweat is pretty fast paced by comparison and I felt last time my form suffered a little - hopefully Sweat next time will be better like today as I'm more familiar with it!

The Asylum has a nice Relief DVD that looks to be lovely 25 min stretch which I will probably include mid week to recover from these total body bashings I have coming up.
Turbo fire has a nice 40 min stretch one too which is a bit like Yoga X and Stretch X rolled together and shortened to 40 mins  which is awesome if I wasn't doing any yoga but in conduction with piyo at the mo - maybe too much - I'll suck it and see  

My current plan for the next few weeks is working through piyo strength calendar and continuing T25 but adding in (so I don't loose my gains) Pull ups/Chin ups and deadlifts....
Mon Piyo
Tues T25
Wed Stretch (T25 Stretch/Asylum Relief/TF Stretch 40) and maybe short strength session if I feel like it.
Thurs Piyo
Fri T25
Sat BBeast Back and Bi's
Sun Rest
