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!

Core de Force MMA Power

MMA Power was good fun today, I had to push to get through some of those spikes but boy does it get the heart pumping - love it!

Core de Force MMA Power

Thought a bit of cardio might be a good fill in before Hard Labour starts tomorrow so MMA Power was the chosen one.

I was struggling with a migraine about 45 mins before and even some visual disturbance came back during it but I pushed through. I had a couple of interruptions during it also grrrr but got it done.

Still a little woolly headed but hopefully a good nights sleep should see me feeling ready for Chest and Back!

CdF MMA Power

Loved the punching and kicking today, felt great to de-stress and I crushed it as best as I could!

CdF MMA Power & P90X3 Yoga

MMA Power today, I was feeling a little lethargic to start but soon got into it and crushed it or as Jericho says "annihilated it"! The punching and kicking really helped me let go of the frustrations from a stressful week.

Chased it with some calming X3 Yoga. I think I needed my TH fix.

HRM had a few hiccups at the start like me but then settled down lol.

Have a great weekend everyone.

MMA Power

Back still playing up but total rest (laying down mostly as the only way to get pain free) did nothing for it yesterday so I decided to do a bit of something to see how it felt.

MMA Power was the chosen one as I wanted more calorie burn than shred to make up for doing nothing yesterday.

It went pretty well - a few moves made it moan so I didn't do them and just stuck to what I could do 😉

Overall pleased I got something done and it all feels a bit  freer for it 😀

Core de Force MMA Power

Well I'm still getting used to my morning workouts as I struggled again with this one and I really didn't expect too.

CdF MMA Power and it was ok, some of the combos took some getting used to and took a while for me to get the flow.  Those Spiderman climbers OMG! Ground to fighter stance is really not a favorite of mine either!

Questioning my food....
I have for while had yoghurt, oats, all bran, apple, fig, grapes, seeds and linseed oil (we went heart healthy after my mums heart attack) + Protein shake for breakfast but this isn't getting enough into my system well enough to fuel my workouts. This morning I removed the oil/fat as I know that is slow to digest in the hopes that it would get in my system quicker and it was better but still not good enough.
My workout will normally be about an hour after breakfast but this morning it was also almost two hours after which I thought might help as I wondered if I was eating too much and it wasn't fully digested?? 
Will my body adjust to the demands and process it faster or do I need to eat differently???
I'll keep trying different things but if anyone has any pointers on the nutrition front I'd really appreciate it.

The workout was 463 cal, peak 166 BPM, Avg 148 in 48 mins

Below includes the cool down with interruptions.
