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!

MHC - Hammer Conditioning & 10 min abs Hammer

This went well tonight, I upped my weights in some moves, others I kept the same. I felt like I was really working hard but thats not reflected in my calories ;(
I also did the burpees wrong the first time, I skipped the renegade row so after I did all 12 burpee with upright rows I did it again with the rows - phew! I got it right the second round :)

I think my body maybe needs a rest. I usually do a recovery week after 3 continuous weeks (Most of Tony's do anyway) and I have been doing 6 days a week for 5 weeks now and I think I could do with a couple of days recovery before the final couple of weeks of this. I've lowered my calories and I'm pushing harder and after all these weeks (most nights not sleeping well either) I'm feeling a little run down and I don't want to risk an injury. It's hard to push for more when you don't feel fully recovered.
I could carry on and just go light weight but that would just feel a little half hearted??
Any thoughts?

Abs went better tonight, making more progress. Oblique crunches I hardly stopped, Side plank obliques I managed 15 each side compared to 13 last time ;) Windshield wipers seems pretty easy and the leg lowering one my abs are much stronger as I could get much lower than last time. The run at the end I actually managed to keep going for the full time. So really pleased ;)
