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!

Back Progress and P90 Sculpt A

So after weekly physio and doing my physio stretches daily I'm finally getting there. It been a hard 6 weeks, like really hard, but we push through and get better little my little thank goodness.

I'm still not 100% by any means but I'm moving normally now and I can start some light workouts and build up the endurance in the muscles. ie I can only move around at work normally for about an hour and it starts aching :( but the spasm has 100% gone and the sharp pains have 99.9% gone too.

I managed to gently get most of Sculpt A done this evening, I subbed in place of the pull ups/chin ups - weighted bridges and goblet squats as prescribed by my physio (which I have to do everyday). Need to get my glutes strong again to help the SI pain I had. No lunges for me at the moment either. I also did standing curls in place of rocket launcher curls.

I had to do some assisted deep squats to make sure my hips sit in the right place with my stretches for lower back during my cool down.

It felt so great to do something after all his time and get my heart rate up a little too :) So gently does it but I'm finally easing back in.
