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!

10R Wk 4 Day 2 Lift Upper, Grit Strength 28 & BodyBalance 84 Flexibilty

Enjoyed the upper body work this morning but left a little lacking in most areas, except biceps. So I think I need to increase my weights.

Later needed something else so I did Grit Strength 28 with 3kgs for warm up and then 4kgs through out. It was awesome loved it.

Then went straight into BodyBalance 84 Flexibility which was magic. Worked well as a cool down, stretched everything out and worked on some flexibility and lovely meditation at the end.
Some new moves in there which good and effective.

Felt amazing afterwards as loved the yin yang of those two workouts together.

Grit Strength 18 and BodyBalance 79 Flexibility

Grit strength this morning and loved it, foot feeling better got some lunges in carefully. Used 3s, 4s and 5s to add some weight in moves I didnt jump in. Modified where I needed to to stay safe and pain free.

This evening I did Bodybalance 79 Flexibility and it was great, was careful in the down dogs but completed all the yoga section. Loved it.

Les Mills BodyBalance 86 Flexibility

I couldn't do the lunges in the yoga sequence and went to knee in the twist but still really enjoyed this with the meditation at the end.
Some good clunks in my back on some of the seated twists too :)
Blissful 39 mins.

Grit Strength 29

Still recovering from foot strain so had to modify this one in parts as no lunges at all so did more squats.
No mountain climbers - I did normal push ups and narrow push ups on knees.
Then for 2 min challenge of burpees I did some dumbell work, 10 each of bicep curls, chest press, chest fly, narrrow press and tricep extension.

Because of no lunges I had the oxygen so upped to 5kg (from 4kgs last time) on some sets of clean and press and squat press - just to get a bit of extra work in :)

Also some of the fast squat sets I went no weight but powered up from the bottom as no heel raise.

Felt good to get the blood pumping and the heart working :)

CX Worx 35

Did this slightly gingerly as still getting over foot strain in my right foot grrrr but overall it went well.

Enjoyed it, doing all plank work on knees. Used 2kg DBs for the laying and kneeling work and 3kg DBs for standing rows.

Good stuff.
