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!

Macro Hacks Wk 1 Day 1 The Leg Destroyer

So week 1 properly starts now and I have my barbell home with some weight plates so here we go...

Really good fun. Nice activation moves at the start with bands really wakes everything up and gets the mind body connection going.

Then the workout with compound sets work really well. Hip thrusts with my barbell felt much better than the dumbells. I started with 12kg and it was good. I had a few issues with the box I'm leaning on making a bit of noise as I really need to get a decent bench but since the Covid stuff no one has any in stock!!!

Balance lunges were tough as always and I only went with 2 x 3kg after legs were fairly tired by this point.

Hamstring curl was weird as the band tried to cut into my leg so need a different band for that I think or an ankle attachment.

Didnt have much time left for the Core burner at the end and only did one round but still felt it.
