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!

BodyPump 93 & CX Works 25

BodyPump 93 again with DB's as at home again and slight increases in weights 😀

The lunge track is so tough but I did better than before and I should have upped my bicep weigh even more ;)

Skipped the Core track at the end and went straight into CX Works 25 as I still had bags of energy (took a different preworkout OMG). CX Works was brilliant, it moves a little fast but wow it blast your core from so many different angles.

BodyPump 93
Warm up- 2 x 10lbs (4.5kg) & 2 x 3kg at the end of shoulders.
Squats - 2 x 15lbs (6.8kgs) - good weight but could increase next time.
Chest Flys - 2 x 10lbs (4.5kg) - increase to 5kg next time
Back = Deadlifts, Rows, Clean and Press & Power (push)Press -2 x 12.5lbs (5.6kg) - perfect weight as felt it in the rows and had to push and only just managed the press's.
Triceps - 2 x 5lbs (3.4kgs) for kick backs and a single for o/h press, tricep push ups on P. Stands. Got pretty much all the reps with weights and managed more reps on the stands than last time but not all of them. Good progress though.
Biceps - 2 x 5lbs (3.4kgs) - easy = too light. at least 4kg next time.
Lunges - she says go light so try increase to 2 x 2 kgs dbs and drop to 1's if nec - dropped to 1's for the last 2mins ish and the burn just too much omg!
Shoulders - push ups, 2 x 5lbs (3.4kgs) for upright rows & o/h Press and 2kg DBs finishes with lateral raises and side rotator raises - shoulder were tough but made it ;)
Core - skipped core and went straight into CX Works 25.

CXWorks 25

Hovers with leg to side, then add on one sided push ups at the same time. - All on knees and had to take breaks.
Leg extensions - stayed with bent legs/single legs and could really feel it, two legs felt like two much.
Standing side lunge sequence with band and weights - went fast and I think I went the wrong way a few times. With 2kg bar.
Squat with arc. Then Squat with press forward. Used 2kg - increase next time to maybe 4kg.
Banded single leg squats / glute work. Didnt have enough resistance on the first half of the first side - then increased it and wow what a burn in the glute. Better on second side but burny a lot quicker and I had to take breaks.
Band side leg pulses - felt it but more resistance next time.
Obliques - I did no weight and did all reps with bent legs off the floor (progress from last time).
Plank twist with weight - I used 2kg and did pretty much all the reps after the first one. Increase weight next time to 3 or even 4kg.
Knee twists - I did with all bent knees and felt it good.
Back - Prone leg lift and out to side, then upper body lift and arm reaches, then both together. Felt good and I think I got most of the reps after watching the move.
Prone leg flutters.
Band - kneeling rear shoulder fly work with rows - burny on the rear delt and back phew.

Great one - I really enjoyed it, although some transitions are a little fast.
