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!

P90X3 Cold Start & Total Synergistics

Did cold start first, because I was cold lol and every 50 odd calories helps right!

Loved this today, modifed the crawly plyo push ups to look after shoulder but smashed the rest!!!

Flip Flop Crunch was so easy today so I have to say thanks to 80 DO for that awesome core strength I now have!!! Totally amazed myself lol

Also I manged two unassisted chin ups today which I thought I'd lost the strength in, doing 80 DO, but thankfully not so I'm over the moon about that.

Absolutely loved working out with Tony H again and considering I haven't done this one in almost 12 months I crushed it!!! :)

80 DO - Day 23 Cardio Core + X3 Cold Start

X3 Cold Start first as I feel better going to cardio a little bit warmer and it burns another 50 cals :)

Cardio Core felt good today, I felt strong in the core sections and I even smashed the standing mountain climbers today ie my pace was much faster, knees were higher and I didnt stop before time wahoo!!!

I had to take just 2 mini breaks in the long core section but overall I think crushed it as best as I could!! Does anyone know if this one stays the same for phase 2 (only longer version like Cardio flow) or does she change it up a little??

X3 Cold Start, 22MHC Cold Start & 80 DO - Day 20 Cardio Flow

I wanted a little bit more today and needed my Tony fix lol so I did X3 Cold Start, then 22 Min Hard Core Cold start before going into 80 DO Cardio Flow.

Felt stronger overall but legs were tired from leg day which meant the jumping diamond squats were tough today!

I can't believe its the end of Week 3 already!!

P90X3 Cold Start and Total Synergistics

Had a long day again, been at our soon to be property with a building surveyor and all went pretty well. But I ate more food/flapjacks than I should have done (even though they are homemade).

Recovery week for me this week from my 8 weeks P90X hybrid so I thought I'd change things up a little and do an P90X3 week because a change is as good as a rest right???

I quite enjoyed Total Synergistics - ages since I've done it but some great moves in there ;)

That gives me this week to decide what I'm going to do next....
a) Do P90X3
b) Do Bodybeast with some extra cardio (poss try 30 days BOD Beast up Calendar)
c) Do Hammer and Chisel
d) Continue with my P90X hybrid with more X2 thrown into the mix
e) Something else like 21 day fix/extreme for longer rest then go back to weights

Any thoughts or suggestions please guys???

22 MHC - Cold Start and Cardio 1

So I had to try Cold start as I was expecting nice little stretching warm up like P90X3 Cold Start...How wrong can you be! This is a little mini workout all of its own lol (Unless you are used to insanity of coarse)

Around 11 mins and you pretty much jog/high knees for the whole time apart from taking mini breaks to stretch - I did over 80 cals just for cold start lol! But I have to say I did actually enjoy it and it got me really ready for Cardio 1.

Cardio 1 is pretty awesome and if like me Burpees drain the energy right out of you then its pretty tough too! The Squat, Lunges in the last round had my legs screaming for mercy!
The pace is pretty swift and for some moves I struggled to keep up - When I can keep up with them I will definably be Boot camp fit!!!

Having previewed a few of the workouts I think I'm going to really love this program!

Cals 414 in 53 mins avg HR 131 bpm
