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!

P90X Plyo

P90X Plyometrics well because I love it lol. So much fun with Tony who still makes me laugh after all these years lol.

Thought I might struggle/crash after about 30-40 mins but I didn't :)
Felt good and strong and I'm back in cardio shape and fully recovered. Soooooo pleased to be well again and I'm ready to take on the world and erm Shaun T with Transform 20 in a couple of weeks ;)

P90X Plyometrics, P90X3 The Challenge, 22MHC Core 2 & X3 Complex Lower

Sorry catch up post...

Sunday I did Plyometrics and loved it. Started flagging atound 50 mins mark but pushed through ;)

Monday rested with a busy work day.

Tuesday I took on P90X3 The Challenge and yes it was lol. I haven't lost that much strength as such as I actually fell stronger on the pull ups but I have lost some endurance as the later reps were tough to impossible.
Push ups I was dissapointed with if I'm honest, I would have thought LIIFT4 would have helped with all the Chest presses but I felt weaker in the push ups overall.
Chased it with 22MHC Core 2 and oh my abs - tougher than I remember lol!!!

Today I did X3 Complex Lower and really enjoyed it. My plank work on the The Stabilzer felt much stronger so my core is feeling good.

Couple of rest days now with maybe some yoga then back to LIIFT4 ;)

Lift and HIIT, Lift4 Preview & P90X Plyo

Monday I was so looking forward to Lift4 preview but it wasn't out yet so I did Joel Lift & HIIT and it was pretty good and I added on my own final set of Push Press/Deadlift + High Knees.

Tuesday I spent a few hours digging up turf ready for a driveway extention.

Wednesday I did Lift4 Preview and I have to say it was pretty good. Really looking forward to the program, especially if he splits up the muscle groups well - it should be great. I wouldn't normally have entertained a 4 day a week program but things are so crazy busy for me right now that I think it might be excellent for me. I can also add in some much needed yoga on the off days if I feel the need too.

Thursday I spent to very hard 2 hours shifting a ton of hardcore onto the driveway extention. That was a workout for sure. Even took my preworkout and put HR monitor on to see lol.

Yesterday as my upper body was toast from shoveling, raking and more shoveling and raking I did P90X Plyometrics. Loved iit as always.

Today I spent 5 hours mixing concrete in a wheelbarrow (yes we should have got a mixer) and laying it down in moulds to...you guessed it..do the drive way. I don't think much of me doesn't ache tonight OMG I'm totally toast!!! And there is still more to do!!!!

Great job to everyone who's still smashing it...I'm crazy busy but still checking in when I get chance x

P90X Plyo X

Needed this today - it was good to get a great sweat one!

New iWatch didnt read so well for a start so I tightened up the band and it seemed much better after that.

P90X Plyometrics

Good ol' Plyometrics for me today and loved it!

I was a little rushed so shortened the warm up and skipped the pitch and catch but got it done!!

HR monitor dropped out for a few mins around 15 mins mark but still got a good burn ;)

P90X Plyometrics

It was going to X2 Plyocide but I needed a Tony giggle and a bigger burn so I went with Plyo X.

Call me crazy but I love this workout.

I crushed it as best as I could!

P90X Plyometrics

Plyo X for me tonight and it was just what I needed after an early start for the floor fitter and then a stressful day at the office.

But we now how a kitchen floor at long last after a very long 6 months and it looks amazing - wahoo!

Doms from yesterday's back and bi's but getting the blood pumping helped that too ;)

Shoulder and P90X Plyometrics

Yesterday was Shoulder physio day = Strained rotator cuff :(
Massage, ultrasound and some strapping/taping. No pushing or planks at all. But pulling should be ok so at least I can do something. It means tomorrows Chest, Shoulders and Tri's is out of the window so might have to move calendar around but time heals all doesn't it. I've got to go back physio next week.


Today with no arm raises at all I did Plyometrics. It was hard not using my arms but I needed to get the blood pumping and it certainly did that. 

I've done a couple of workouts now without my HRM and I miss it lol. It's almost part of my preworkout ritual and I think I really like it for the accountability.

I may not bother with it for some strength workouts but I think I might stick with it for cardio ones ;)

P90X Plyometrics

P90X Plyometrics for me tonight and I loved every second of it!!

I pretty much kept up with Tony and the kids which I have to say surprised me slightly and it was such fun.

P90X Plyometrics

Went old school tonight with a great favorite P90X plyometrics. Tony always makes me laugh even after hearing the same jokes for the 20th time lol

After doing shorter workouts for a while, the hour felt long but I loved it :)

I did my best to keep up with Tony and the kids and I had forgotten how painful hotfoot can be!

P90X Plyometrics

This was great fun tonight - I was going great till about 40-45 mins in (well it was hot foot actually) and I was toast. I was down because I couldn't complete all the hops on one foot ( I remember building up to that before so a little disappointed ) but I snapped out of it and push on. The last 10-15 mins were was tough but I got through it, was dripping and loved it!

22MHC gets you better and fitter for a lot of things but not an hour long plyo!!

Since iWatch update the HR isn't playing to well - a new feature and not a bug apparently but I'm not happy. So back to polar tonight  (my old H7 has died so borrowed my mums sensor bit for tonight, my new one arrives tomorrow) - gives me a much better HR reading (except for the drop out around 27 mins) and therefore more accurate calorie burn.
