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!

LIIFT 4 Shoulders Intervals and Legs 50/50

Tuesday was L4 Shoulders Intervals (Wk4) and although tough I enjoyed it. Stayed with the same weights on the raises but felt better. Had to drop a little for the swimmers to keep form. But My shoulders actually felt a little stronger on the overhead press at last. 💪🏻

Yesterday was Legs 50/50 (Wk 7) and I'm doing more workouts from home at the moment as work is crazy busy and there is just no time. So I had to make the best of Bowflex and 2 Spinlock adjustable Dumbells.
Got stuck in and thought...wow I'm feeling strong today these 12kgs/26lbs feel really light for the front squat and calf raises. Bowflex felt super heavy @ 35lbs/16kgs for deadlifts when I'm used to using my Barbell. But after first block was done I double checked and the 2 plates on by dumbbells that I thought were 5kg plates were actually 2.5kg plates so the 12kgs/26lbs were actually only 7kgs/15lbs doh!! 😳
6kgs/13lbs went ok for side lunges and pulsing squat and I was pleased with my increase to 22.5lbs / 10.2 kgs for Bridge. I'm pretty sure I could bridge way more but the weights are awkward to get onto my hips 😔
Really chuffed with my Sumo squat with a single 50lb/22.6kg as it was only 5lbs under one of the muscle men in the cast lol 😍

Oooh yeah PR to share - during the HIIT section I actually successfully stayed up for the three sets of twisted mountain climbers - first time ever for me!!!! Nothing for some I know but my shoulders just screamed at me and all through the first round of LIIFT 4 I just couldn't do but 4 weeks later and today lots of progress wahooo 😝


Sorry for not posting more often - life is just crazy right now. So much going on with work and life OMG 😩
