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!

Max 30 Friday Fight Rnd 1 & Core de Force Core Kinectics

Tried a new one today as I needed a bit of intense Shaun T! Friday fight was pretty good and pretty tough and I broke in some new trainers too lol.

Loved it and chased it with Core Kinectics which I still find a tough routine to do but there the ones we need to do more often right?

I plan on not doing much this weekend now as I need to chillax. Have a great weekend everyone.

MMA Shred and Core Kinetics

Crushed MMA Shred today - shoulder was fine and I gave it my all!! Loved it!!
(Had to take a phone call during it too = that's the dip in heart rate down to green about halfway through :(  )

That of coarse meant I struggled through Core kinetics again lol - It is tough one for me!! I did the first round mostly modified except for Hip to Escape thingy, then did I my best to not modify in round 2 but I was toast!!

Those leg check ones in forearm plank early on (move 2 I think) - even on my knees just make my abs/obliques scream!!!
I'm sure it will get better but doing it straight after Shred I can only do my best and forget the rest!!!

Day 2 CdF/BB Hybrid - MMA Speed and Core Kinetics

Gave it some today with MMA Speed but was toast for Core Kinetics - I find this one really tough especially straight after Speed!

I thought about doing it first but I felt I would be better twisting and punching with a fresh core than a tired one so that I didn't get injured. I modified where I had to and collapsed on the floor when I could do no more. I did the best I could and hope to do better next time.

CdF Core Kinectics and BOD Yoga Full Body Flow

Late up this morning (but I got some sleep yay :) ) then technology let me down causing me a later than hoped for start but none the less got something done. Tomorrow will be better.

It was cold in my new space this morning and with bare feet for yoga they were like little ice blocks :( but CdForce Core Kinectics followed by BOD Yoga Full-Body Flow was completed to the best of my abilty.
Some of those core moves are brutal - I thought I had built up some good core strength but that workout is a whole new ball game.
Yoga was gentler than I expected from the title - nice little stretch and strengthen - ideal for a little wake up your body routine not a full on go for it one than I was hoping for. I'll know for next time.

Core de Force MMA Speed 2.0, Core Kinetics & BOD Yoga Wk 2 Stretch

So for H&C/Max30 hybrid day 6 it should have been Tabata Strength but after a hard strength week for me including push ups everyday I couldn't face what would have been a half hearted effort with more strength work so after much deliberation I chose something else.

I went with MMA Speed 2.0 and then Core kinetics but I have to confess that half way through Core kinetics I was toast so I gave it best and stretched out with some calming yoga.

I'm still really undecided what to do with my sleep being very disturbed/restless....do I try week 2 of the hybrid (as I'm really enjoying it) and see if my body gets used to it or do I change it up?
I'm thinking either P90X/Max 30/Core de Force (subbing Max 30 for cardio days and CdF for Kenpo days) or may be P90X3/Max30 Hybrid?????

I'd appreciate any thoughts???
