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!

Home R Wk 1 Day 2

Natacha Oceane Home Rebuild Wk 1 Day 2 Upper Body and Core.

Some new moves again for me including Cameleon to plank - different but I can see its place at strengthening my upped body - which I desparately need.

Good to lift some proper weight again in traditional moves and some band moves that worked well and some not so much but thats mainly down to getting the right band.
Rest must have done me good because the 3rd set of curl to overhead with 5kg felt good.

Crab to knee and tow touch was much harder than I expected and tough on the wrist too after the two moves before it. Pike to kick thru went better than I expected.

The other thing with this program its at my pace, so short rest or long rest, get time to make my notes and not rushing to keep up with the cast of the screen, makes a real difference.

Not been huge calorie burners yet but its amount learning the moves in the first week and also getting back it to and not going crazy. Also strength work doesn't always burn a tons of cals any way. Its the strength gains that come after at rest too remember.

See how we go :)

HIIT tomorrow and only 20 mins so see what that brings.
