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 32 Cardio Flow...err nope..Max 30 Cardio Challenge

So I got warmed up and ready to go today and I started Cardio Flow and my shoulders moaned on those first few inchworms, I did a few spiders moved on to diamond jumps and then as we started inchworms again my shoulders said "you think we can cope with another 30 mins of this you got to be joking!!!" So I stopped. Not only mentally was not in the mood for it my body physically just didn't want it - it needs more recovery of those same old moves beofre we start next week so that was that.
I dont want to feel I've cheated on Autumn or the program or not do it to its fullest but I have to listen to my body and all the shoulder/plank work is taking its toll and I/they clearly need more rest. People with strong upperbody or not recovering for an injury might be fine but not me.

I dove into the BOD library and chose some Shaun T with Max 30 Cardio Challenge, which I really enjoyed. Had a min or two to sort out a hair malfunction a good few minutes in but other than that I pushed as hard as I could. I modified some of the floor work to not stress my shoulders and def. worked up a good sweat and burnt a few calories too.
