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!

Love it!!!!

Joels 8 x 8 and P90X+ Intervals plus

Monday was Joels 8 x 8 which I enjoyed as I increased most of my weights from last time and I love to Deadlift. Also added my own superset just to finish the total body off with Tricep kickbacks and lat raise.

Tuesday should have been B4Lift4 HIIT but I wanted a bit more so I went with P90X+ Intervals - needed me some Tony time :)

Rested yesterday and today is B4Lift 4 Legs and I need to go much heavier than last week to make it work :)

P90X+ Intervals Plus

Needed something a little shorter than Plyo X today so I went with Intervals Plus. It goes by so fast as you only get one break phew!!

I was gasping for air on this one OMG!!!

P90X+ Intervals X Plus and IMax 30 360 Abs

Was unsure which workout to do today but I went with Intervals Plus - great cardio, if not the best cardio, workout from TH!

Chased it with Shaun 360 Abs - Happy Sunday!

P90X+ Kenpo Cardio Plus and 22MHC Spec Ops Cardio

I went for P90X+ Kenpo Cardio Plus tonight for a slight change of pace, enjoyed it but when I was done I wanted a bit more of something so I went for 22MHC Spec Ops Cardio.

I was very cautious on the burpee rolls (not getting all the reps at all) and still find the crawl jacks really tough to get all reps but crushed the rest as best as I could. Apart from Burpee rolls which need a heavy weight to help get upright I used an increased weight for each round 😉

Great end to my third week back at it!! Get Some!!!

P90X+ Intervals X and BOD Yoga Day 5 Flow-on-the-go

I was really undecided on today's workout but in the end went with Interval X from P90X+ and loved it!! I needed a cardio high and this gives me one without too much crazy jumping.

Chased it with a slightly shortened version of Flow on the go yoga as I was short on time. But it gave me a nice cool down and stretch.

I'm going to rest my back over the weekend to get ready to start a new calendar/schedule on Monday to slowly get back what I've lost and I have the weekend to finalize what to do lol. So many choices can make it more difficult sometimes.

P90X+ Intervals Plus

This is one of the best cardio routines I think Tony has ever done. 42 mins and you only get water break at half time! Don't think many people have seen it but its a great one! I max out in this every time!

Was cautious with shoulder again today as what ever Shaun had me do yesterday really upset it - I think it was the pike presses grrrrr.

Happy New Year everyone - lets make 2017 the fittest yet!!

P90X+ Kenpo Cardio Plus & Asylum Relief

Woke with DOMS today - ouchy and thats very quick for me - not sure if thats a good sign or not??

Spent most of the day refreshing my memory of lots of workouts and calendars as still tinkering with my hybrid. Deciding on recovery week workouts and then then next 3 weeks. It's so much easier when you just follow one program!!

Really enjoyed Kenpo Plus tonight, it was good fun and reasonable burn too. Chased it with some Shaun T stretching - just what I needed.

P90X+ Intervals and 22MHC Core 2

Tried some Pre workout tonight to give me an extra boost - I only took half the recommended scoops as I don't really have much caffeine and didn't know how it would react.

Did't feel much to be honest, a little more alert maybe?

But I got my workout in and loved it - Intervals+ really works me phew!!!

Chased it with Core 2 and that was tough too but I got done as much as I could but after poor eating yesterday and very restless sleep with nightmares I was toast at the end.

Better eating today so should be fine tomorrow providing I sleep well tonight, its warm again.

P90X+ Intervals X & Ab Ripper X

So instead of Plyo today I did Intervals X and its a really great workout - burnt a ton of calories in 45 mins and still had time to burn a few more doing Ab Ripper X afterwards ;)

P90X+ Kenpo Cardio Plus and T25 Stretch

I didn't fancy Kenpo tonight so I went for Kenpo Cardio Plus and it was good fun. Was a little restricted in my small space but still got a good sweat on.

Chased it with T25 stretch - but I forgot this one isn't one of my favourites :(

I should have foam rolled but with the doms that I have I couldn't face the pain!

P90XPlus Intervals X

Needed a cardio high today so went for Intervals with Tony and the kids!

Loved it - energy was a little low, been low carb for 48 hours and feeling it but got it done and loved every second of it.

I can honestly say that Hammer and Chisel has most definitely made my legs stronger, legs hardly screamed at all - so much easier than last time I did it - leg strength wise - cardio element was still tough but that was the whole point lol.

P90X+ Intervals

Wanted something cardio but not too long and longer then T25 so P90X+ Intervals plus it was = great fun!!

The hardest bit either side the break was really tough as usual but really enjoyed and after a long hard day emptying sheds it was just what I needed.

P90X+ Total body Plus

I couldn't fancy Sagi with Total body tonight so I did Tony's Total body plus, it works the whole body with tons of variety and a bit of fun - loved it!!

P90X+ Total Body Plus

Wow this was excellent tonight - some transition are little fast and I had to pause to write down but really great workout - it works everything!!! Loved it!!!

Didn't go heavy with the weights but did manage to get some unassisted chin ups, well with a little toe on the wall!

P90X+ Intervals plus and Abs/Core Plus

So after last week feeing so tough and doing less well on some lifts and just stalling on most of the others for 2 weeks or so I decided I needed a recovery week, something different to let the muscles recover ready to attack it again next week.
Tony H's workouts always have a transition/recovery week in them every 3-4 weeks and my body likes or rather needs that - I've been pushing hard with Body Beast for 7 weeks now and I know to it so I'm not going to be silly and push on and get injured I'm going to listen to my body and lighten up for a week and then get back to and hit it stronger than ever to continue making progress.

So today I chose P90X+ Intervals Plus and Abs/Core Plus and wowee what a workout!! It felt great to be laughing again at Tony's jokes and push hard with the heart rate ;).
The abs/core plus really worked me in different ways than I have before - I might know to them tomorrow but it's what I needed to give everything else a much needed rest.

Really loved it and bonus I burnt 673 cal! Not seen figures like that in months either lol.

P90X+ Interval X and LM Pump Yoga Flow

P90X+ Interval X and LM Pump Yoga Flow

Great 40 workout Tony and 2 kids - 3 levels of intensity for lots of different  moves = interesting, fun and tough at times too!! Love it!!

Chased it with 20 mins Yoga flow, nice to stretch and relax after all the jumping about!

Had a hard day today including a total melt down so it was a great workout to feel better with ;)

P90X+ Upper Body Plus

Recovery and Mobility yesterday - nice to roll out the wrinkles ;)

P90X+ Upper Body Plus

So a brand new one for me tonight  

It was quite different, to do all upper body stuff in one session was different for other Tony stuff I've done, the was some new moves that I haven't seen or done before but the main difference for me was doing reps for time and not aiming for 8-10/12-15 reps?

My weights seemed really low at only 5, 10 & 12.5lbs but when you are doing lots of reps the burn comes pretty quick. I was conservative on some and will up them next time but some were spot on and really burny burny!

But overall I enjoyed it  

My chin up max came today too and that works great!



Tuesday, 2 September 2014

P90X+ Total Body + I achieved my first ever unassisted chin up Wahoo!!!!!

I just have share I've finally did it - my first chin up - unassisted - ever!!!!! 
Wahoo!!! Yahoo!!! Yippeeee!!!!!!

         

I then did another yeah!!!! I tried for it at the start of P90X+ Total Body after his warm up and wahoo I did it! I did the rest of the workout and it in total I managed 5 unassisted chin ups!! I've only been trying for 5 years and as you can tell I'm over the moon!!!!

The Total Body workout is the first time I've done it and it moves pretty quick with some interesting newish stuff in there - apart from a few rewinds to see what the moves were I really enjoyed it - especially every time I did another chin up       

This is a delayed post from Sat - I thought I had posted it everywhere but realised this morning after celebrating my 36th Birthday that I hadn't - sorry guys I must have missed it in the excitement!!! (I also got Focus T25 for my birthday, so I'll be throwing some of them into the mix too  )

P90X+ Intervals and LM Pump Flow

X+ Intervals and LM Pump Flow

Just needed a good cardio fix tonight so Intervals from P90X+ was the chosen one!

Great workout, really enjoy this - its tough and I think I did better tonight than last time (my first time) and I chased it with a quick 19 mins of Yoga and stretch which was lovely to cool down with and finish off
