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!

LMOD BodyCombat 78

This was a little slow to get started but then took off.

Not much leg work and one set of mountain climbers so good for after leg day :)

Some very fast combos but Enjoyed it.

BodyCombat 77

A new release and it was pretty fast and furious. Some great punching combos in there, a very good leg section that I struggled to complete 2 days after leg day. The short kicking section was fast and awkward with the change of directions and a weird section that was fast and you had to be very flexible to do it.

Overall I enjoyed it but not one of my fav's.

Bodycombat 68

BodyCombat 68 and loved it - did it with a bit more space than usual and it sure makes a difference when you can put in the effort as you are not scared of kicking the TV or Settee lol.

Maybe pushed it a little hard as I did get a little light headed at one point and had to take a seat for a few breaths but wow I enjoyed every minute. I always feel great, empowered and a bonus that I burnt a ton of calories while doing it.

Les Mills BodyCombat 70

Les Mills BodyCombat 70 and a few pull ups and chin ups instead of some mountain climbers in one of floor sections ;)

Prob some X2 Recovery & Mobility tomorrow or may be even rest depending how I feel so that I'm well rested and ready for Shaun!!!

LMOD BodyCombat 68

I thought my legs might feel trashed today but I felt good.
Had a frustrating day though so I punched and kicked all my frustrations out with BodyCombat 68. Love it!!!

I was cautious with the push ups and skipped some of them as my chest felt a little tender.

X3 Eccentric Lower and LMOD BodyCombat 62 Express

Eccentric Lower today and increased some of weights :) Had an interruption to go look an noisey treadmill but got back to it. Skipped the hip flexor splits to save some time and also don't think they do that much for me.

Straight into BodyCombat 62 Express as recommended by Janaina a few weeks back and enjoyed it. The guy that wasn't Dan or Rach was a bit naff but really enjoyed the rest of the workout (No legs stuff either which was great after doing legs!) . Skipped conditioning for time.

P90X3 Incinerator, BodyCombat 71, X3 Eccentric Upper

Wednesday was X3 Incinerator.
Thursday I went for a new BodyCombat with #71 which was pretty good. Not as intense as 68 (ie they give you time to breath) with some mobility stuff in there but the leg section was tough two days after Eccentric Lower = I didn't make it lol.
Rested yesterday and today although full of cold grrrrrrrrr I did Eccentric Upper. Nothing too crazy as used the bands due to being at home but slight increases on Military Press, Upright Row, Lateral/Anterior raise and Kneeling Preacher Curls so pretty pleased :)

See how my cold is feeling tomorrow and may either do Triometrics or rest.

Combat 45

I haven't done this workout in just over 2 years! It was great to do a bit of punching and kicking for a change ;) I wanted to do CdF but didn't want the cardio spikes for me knees, I wanted to do MMX but didn't want the plank work for my shoulders so Combat was the chosen one.

No plank work and no jumping for my achey parts meant I didnt get my heart rate crazy high and burn a ton but I got moving and rested what I needed to so I think that's a win.

I'm going to do Strength 45 tomorrow and I'm soooo looking forward to it.

LM Combat Ultimate Warrior/Combat 60 Live

Wanted a cardio workout that wasn't going to be bad for my knee so some punching and kicking was the chosen one and I loved it!

Not done it for ages and it was great fun and I burnt some good calories too which I needed as comfort eating/traveling eating has been a little too much with less worokuts over the last 10 days!

Les Mills Combat 60 Live Ultimate Warrior

After driving to Lincolnshire again yesterday to see a very disspointing property :( today was spent recovering and I couldn't face the weights. So I did Les Mills Combat Ultimate Warrior and it was just what I needed :)
But we did a get few minutes at Skegness for fish and chips (which was lovely) and a quick paddle in the sea which was the first time in about 20 years! :)
Will double up with Bulk Back and Shoulders tomorrow.

LM Combat 45 + Inner Warrior Strength and Stretch

Yesterday I spent over an hour strimming 4 ft high nettles and fighting brambles so I gave Recovery and mobility a miss yesterday and just chilling.

LM Combat 45 + Inner Warrior Strength and Stretch

Slow start to this one and longish warm up to get going but still good fun and pretty reasonable for a recovery week for me.
But I was aware of my lower back again a couple of times with the twisting and turning so not happy with that ;( was going to do Back to core tomorrow and now not so sure??

Nice to stretch out afterwards though.


Oh and my new set of dumbells came to day, well minus the the missing 1kg and 2kg ;( i just got empty damaged boxes for those but the rest look cool don't you think?

Les Mills Combat 45 + Inner Warrior Stretch

Les Mills Combat 45 + Inner Warrior Stretch

This was good fun, didn't go crazy as it recovery week but still enjoyed it. Immediately chased it with Inner warrior stretch which is good stuff, some of the kata moves are still odd to me for some reason but enjoyed it!

LM Combat 45 and Inner Warrior Stretch

Really enjoyed this tonight, having done a few T25's now - the cardio element of this combat was pretty darn easy  

Made it a pretty active rest day if you know what I mean lol
