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

 So I have been really poor at posting for sooooo long as life has been crazy but looking back, the notes really help me so I'm going to start posting again. Might not be daily but certainly more often that I have in loooong time.

Starting LIIFT 4 again after 8 weeks of 645 - which I really enjoyed and my mobility and shoulder stability has improved dramatically but I'm still lacking strength and muscle. The third stage is fast and functional but I want strength.


Monday was LIIFT 4 Wk 1 Day 1 Chest & Triceps 50/50 

Enjoyed it, went light as didnt want crazy doms, just to see where I'm at. Used the grey band and black band to help with the tricep push ups at the end OMG!


Tuesday LIIFT 4 Wk1 D2 Back and Biceps Circuit - Good stuff, really enjoyed it. I used the TRX row for the traditional row, just to protect my back.

The rolling on the floor and the leaning forward can aggravate it so need to be cautious.


Wednesday I did Bodycombat 69 30 mins and chased it with BodyBalance 91 Flexibilty Short

Great ying yang combo and just what I needed.

-Update to this I think I twisted something in this that caused me glute pain grrrrrr so beware in future of this release.


Thursday was LIIFT 4 W1 D3 Shoulders Intervals - and it was really good. The intervals really keep the heart up when working such a small muscle group like shoulders.


Friday should have Legs but I had some glute pain in my right side when I lent forward or bent down so I was sensible and just did some LIIFT 4 Foam Rolling and wanted a little more so chased with with 645 Foam rolling lower.

Rested and gave my butt some heat and felt better for it.


- Also my knees are a little sensitive already from all the HIIT stuff with Joel already and I remembered before how much HIIT stuff he does so I'm going to do more of his 'Circuit' workouts and less of his 50/50 ones. Going to get my cardio in on my other days with combat that I enjoy much much more. :)
