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!

80 DO - Day 2 Booty

Well this wasn't as good as I had hoped but I think(hope) that was due to band selection. I went the Green for the first round and the only time I really got a burn was in the Side lying toe taps and the clams = really burny burny (same burny that got my yesterday). I felt my glutes working in the bridges on the first 2 moves but the rest was not doing much for me.

Second round I increased everything to Blue except those side lying ones where I stuck to the green and still so burny I don't think I managed all the reps.
The Standing hinge moves I even went to my Red band = X heavy (probably like a double green or green and blue or something) and still didnt really feel it.

I now I have fairly strong legs and I guess being used to deadlifting - those muscles are pretty strong but it still surprised me.
Autumn is huffing and puffing and I'm like erm nope not me!! I checked my form and I'm pretty sure I was doing them correctly and I didnt really break a sweat.

I will use the round 2 for the warm up set and then go super heavy in the second round when we do this one again (unless DOMS tell me different in the coming days ;) ) overall I was fairly dissapointed with this one.
