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!

Insanity Core Cardio and Balance and Cize Crazy 8's

I couldn't face Sagi and Cardio/abs tonight so I did Insanity Core cardio and Balance, paused before the stretch at the end and wanted a little more so did about 15 mins of Cize Crazy 8's, then finished with his stretch plus my own = great fun!!

P90 Saturday Special & Cize Full out

So I couldn't face Sagi shouting at me today and needed a bit of Tony H - so I did P90 Saturday Special which I've never sone before but is a gentle cardio but core centric workout. It was something a little different and a got a bit of sweat going. No weights and not as intense as Sagi but got the blood pumping - not a bad replacement for cardio and abs but not the best either.

Afterwards I wanted more so I decided to try another Cize routine and went for Full Out - wow this one moves quickly but I pretty much got it!

Good fun and lifted my mood that I needed, pretty down about trying to find a property every time I think we've found the one there is something wrong ;( it can become very disheartening.

Bodybeast Bulk Arms and Cize Crazy 8's

Enjoyed Bulk Arms tonight, really got pumped up and had the right amount of struggle on those last few reps ;)

Needed something else and so did Cize Crazy 8's and I think I nailed it (for me anyway)- wahoo!!

Bodybeast Build Shoulders and Cize You got this.

Bodybeast Build Shoulders and Cize You got this.

Upped some of weights again on Shoulders and was pleased with progress. 10kg shrugs - who knew the traps were so strong, def try 13.6kg/30lb next time.

My shoulders have always been week so looking forward to improve on my 2 x 5kg shoulder press for 8 reps tonight.

Fancied doing something else tonight so had to try the 2nd Cize routine 'You got this' and it's crazy!!! Really fast paced compared to crazy 8's but good fun. One part I couldn't get my head round at all but will try harder next time.

Cize Crazy 8's and Body Beast Build Shoulders

Cize Crazy 8's and Body Beast Build Shoulders

I had to do Crazy 8's again to see if I could get it right..and I did it ;) I'm no dancer thats for sure but the last move had me beat the first time but this time I think I nailed it :)

Straight into Build shoulders and got the weights spot on this time where I only just managed to finish some of the sets. Except the shrugs, they were that easy I had to stop counting at 9 when I was supped to be doing 8!!! Lets add another 3kg and go for 10kg's next time ;)

My mum patted me on my leg/thigh today and said "Oooh you got some muscles coming in those legs!" Yay for beasty legs :) :) :)

Cize Crazy 8's and Body Beast Build Legs

Cize Crazy 8's and Body Beast Build Legs

So I couldn't resist it any longer I had to have a go at Cize. I tried the first Crazy 8's tonight and it was good fun.

It was harder than I thought i.e. more complicated and yet easier that I thought because Shaun breaks it down so well and I'm really surprised how much it made me sweat!

I was taking it easy because its new but also to conserve some energy for Build Legs and even though I had to take a few mins to sort my iPhone (that videoing me - it was full and stopped recording grrrrr - I had to fetch my iPad instead) I still burnt 274 cals!!!

Then went straight into Build legs and upped most of my weights from last session had a great session that made my legs scream a little lol.
