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!

P90X3 Complex Upper and 3 Day Refresh Day 2 Restore and Stretch

Wanted more upper body today and needed some pull ups so P90X3 Complex Upper for me with some slight modifications.

Slow mo chin ups - Used chin up max and there slow is my normal speed lol
X Plyo push ups - I just did normal push ups on power stands (my wrist cant hack any impact), + walking side to side in the last 2 sets.
Lunge Thrust Press - my legs didn't need anymore work after Triometrics yesterday so I subbed in Deep Swimmers Press for a little more Biceps and Shoulder action.
W Pull Ups - I did just Chin up max normal Pulls ups
Push up Bird Dog Crunch - no mod really other then knees when I needed to.

Burn out - I went with the kids as best as I could -it was the burn out afterall ;)

Then I tried the new 3 Day Refresh Yoga and tried Day 2 Restore and Stretch for a good stretch and restore and I was a little disspointed.
There wasn't as much stretching as I would have hoped. There was a lot of time spent on that hamstring section which I struggled with a little. Probably my long legs make it more difficult but I found the internal and external rotation tricky too and it didn't stretch or feel where Ted said it should hmmm?
The meditation bit I was looking forward too but there wasn't much to it - keep coming back to focus and then left you to it and right at the end he spoke to the seated people asking for gratitude, I'm laying flat out on the floor waiting for the instructions for us laying there and nothing then thanks and good bye = WTH! ok then Ted thanks for nothing, I'll bring myself back round and sit up and say thanks and nameste on my own shall I!
I shouldn't expect tons of stretching as its just for the 3 day'ers but I felt he should have finsihed off the medittion properply grrrr. Sorry rant over!
