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!

B4Lift 4 Chest and Back, Legs, Shift Shop Strength 25 and IMAX 15

Monday was B4Lift4 Chest and Back, just the main 2 sets, then I did Shift Shop Strength 25 subbing the renegade row for Assist Chin ups. Just to see how much strength I’ve lost not doing any for weeks.

Tuesday was B4Lift4 Legs again just main 2 sets and swopped the HIIT portion for IMAX 15. Then because I wanted to add a it more on as I planned to rest the rest of the week I did a few more burpees, 20 weighted thrusters and some push press just to finish it out.


Wed was shopping, Thursday went to Patchings Art Festival. Yesterday I needed something so I did X3 Yoga just move myself about. Been lacking sleep but finally managed 9 hours last night. So hoping for more good sleep over the weekend and I’m well rested and ready to hit Lift4 on Monday - Wahoo!!

80 DO - Day 28 Cardio Core + IM30 Max out 15

Enjoyed the new Cardio Core today although my shoulders didn't. They were toast from yesterday still so that made the plank core work tough as I had to keep taking a break just to rest my shoulders that were screaming.

Been incredibly stressed for weeks now but finally we took one of our pups to be rehomed as he was not getting on with the others and causing so much destress to the household its just not funny. So today our 3 dogs became 2. So a litte sadness but more relief than anything that our home is peaceful again and everybody is so much calmer we might actually get some sleep again.

To help with the de-stress I needed a bit more cardio after Cardio Core so I did a quick 15 mins with Shaun T and feel so much better.

Here's to peace, harmony and sleep.

A little Obsessed - Day 4 Cardio Core + Max 30 Max Out 15

This cardio workout was ok with Autumn and although I enjoyed the recovery bits to work the core, the pace is really quick to get all the bands and sliders in place to keep up with the cast in my small living room (at home again today).

I went to the garage and found a small off-cut of carpet and the sliders without covers worked like a dream. I wish I had it on from the start of the week! So much easier and therefore so much more do able. I even tried the move from the other day that I found almost impossible...now totally possible. Get your slidability right people!!

But getting my bit of carpet out with the sliders on to my mat and putting it away to make room for the jumping bits was a bit of a faff but I got through it (even with taking a phone call about 1/3 of the way through).

When I had done I needed something more so I went for crazy Shaun T Max Out 15 and phew maxed out about 4 mins in but loved it ;)

Core de Foce Mash up, Max30 Max Out:15 and X3 Yoga

Tried a new one today with Core de Force Mash up - it was good but not a favorite - it would be a great one for a recovery week though as there is a little bit of everything.

Because I needed more today and I chased it with Max Out 15 just to burn a few more calories and then calmed it down with some X3 Yoga.

I haven't been doing any proper yoga with Chataranguas to protect my shoulder for a couple of weeks. I wanted to see how it was doing and it's not as good as I was hoping. Knee Chat's are ok but as soon as I tried a full one it complained so I will try to build it up some more and try again.

Have a great week everyone.

One on One Butt and Belly & Max 30 Max Out 15

Tried a new one tonight with TH's One on One Butt and Belly and it was quite good. Not what I was expecting as it was easier than I thought though.

The abs sections were tough in places but apart from a few burny quads the butt part was I thought fairly easy. Tony was sweating and struggling and I'm maybe glistening a little but wondering when he was going to make me work = very odd!

The pace was pretty slow on the first round and he picked up the pace in the second round because he short on time and that was a little more fun for me. Great for anyone wanting a non plyo leg day with some good abs work then this is it lol

At the end of the 48 mins I wanted something more so I went in for a quickie with Shaun T and Max Out 15. That woke me up lol. I was careful with shoulder and still had to modify the plank work but I did try a few wall push ups. It was a little soon after treatment but I had to try. It didn't hurt but I was aware of it so I'll still take it steady and try and get it strong again.

One thing the physio did say that my upper back is tight and because of the trigger point near my shoulder playing up that might have caused my shoulder to be slightly out of position making it vulnerable that night when I hurt it. That does make me feels little better ;)
