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!

T25 Gamma Speed 3.0 and P90X3 Yoga

I tried Speed 3.0 tonight and was pleasantly surprised how well I did 😊

Don't get me wrong it was tough but I did better than I thought I would. I think I have Previous Speed 2.0's and Asylum Speed and agility to thank for that.

I can't imagine what Shaun has in store fro Speed 4.0 next week 😜

I went straight into X3 Yoga afterwards and I'm not sure it was the afterburn effect or what but wow the sweat just kept dripping off me all the way through - wowweee!

Early night for me tonight  zzzzzzz, sleep well all.

T25 Gamma Rip't Up & BOD Yoga Stretch


X3E/T25G Day 6 Gamma Rip't Up

I've only ever done this one once before so I watched it through last night to remind myself as I remember it moved very quickly. Went light weights as sore from last few days.

Chased it with some BOD Yoga Stretch with Vytas for a nice calming peaceful end to the workout week. Bring on Monday Week 2 ;)

T25 Gamma The Pyramid & MH&C 15Min Glute Chisel

Had a couple of days off as felt too grotty to workout but got stuck in today with The Pyramid (first time) - a good little workout but felt very rushed in places. Those pike ups are a bear! I used 7.5lbs for all of it except the triceps at the end I dropped to 5lbs phew!
Then I went straight into Hammer and Chisels Glute chisel (used a 5lb DB instead a ball) to get back to some glute work for my knee as I haven't done any in a couple of weeks with all the moving.

Overall felt like I got a great workout - best I've felt all week and I'm feeling a bit more like myelf again :)

Next week I'm going for some X3 and maybe some T25 hybrid action.
I want to get back to Beast or even Hammer and Chisel but no bench at the moment as I'm working out in a small space at home in my bedroom for now till we get our new unit sorted in a few weeks time, then should have my own great gym space.

I just hope my doorway chin up bar fits in these doorways as I haven't tried it yet! Otherwise I might have try and find my Rip 60 kit (suspension trainer) or even revert to bands which are buried in the garage somewhere OMG!!

T25 Gamma Extreme Circuit

My energy levels were low today but I remembered my pre workout tonight and got stuck in.

Went with light weights as first time doing this one and some of the moves made my muscles scream and for others not enough but a great little workout.

It's hard to have 1 set of dumbells for the whole workout - so advice please....do you wait till the shoulders get stronger so that you can increase your weights OR do you increase the weights and miss a few reps on the shoulder ones to enable the rest of the body to get a better workout???

T25 Gamma Rip't Up

So after moving house which has been an incredibly draining but wonderful experience I finally got a little FOY yoga done yesterday. I was feeling a little stiff from no stretching even though I've been very active and doing lots of lifting, carry and packing/unpacking.

Today I got T25 Gamma Rip't Up done but with very light weights just to get something done. I'm still recovering from the move but wanted a little something and this did the job nicely.

T25 Gamma Rip't Up

So after waiting and waiting to see if it came on offer with black friday and it didn't I gave in and bought T26 Gamma - so I had to give it a go tonight.

I enjoyed it, fast paced but you would expect that for a 25 min workout but good fun with the dumbbells and as always Shaun make you do things that many other trainers forget about and so you  get a real rounded routine. Brilliant.

I chased with 21DF yoga which was just what a needed. Shoulders didn't like the last few Chataranga's but the stretch I really needed. The sporadic workouts of late have not been good so hopefully get back to getting more in each eek until things kick off again.
