Getting better at life with fitness: Recovery & Mobility

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!

B4Lift4 Shoulders and Arms, Full body HIIT & X2 Recovery and Mobility

Thursday was B4Lift4 Shoulders and Arms with an extra round of Lateral Raise and Burpees just for good measure and to make it a little longer and therefore more like the full program.

Friday was B4Lift4 Full body HIIT but I wanted a bit more so I paused at the core section, did 22 Min Hard Core Cardio 2 and then went back and finished the Core section. Great workout :)

Saturday I did most of X2 Recovery and Mobility, which was basically the warmup and the foam rolling as I was short on time. It’s been a while since I visited the pain cave that is my foam roller - but totally worth it.

P90X2 Recovery and Mobility

P90X2 Recovery and Mobility was just what I needed today. I haven't foam rolled in weeks and boy that took me straight to the pain cave. But wow did I feel better afterwards, so much looser and a great end to my recovery week ;)

I'm really ready to get back to it next week - I just need to decide what to do for three weeks before 'A little obsessed' week? Any suggestions??

P90X2 Recovery & Mobility and new gym space

I had an active recovery morning and lugged some stuff about and made more room in my new gym space and most of the equipment in at last.

It's not fully complete as still some weight plates to come in but its getting there. At least I'm ready for Body Beast/Core de Force Hybrid now starting on Monday ;)

Then this evening as it was just too cold in the gym for rolling around on the floor I got X2 Recovery and Mobility done at home in the warm. Long time since I've been to the pain cave with my foam roller but I felt better afterwards.

P90X2 Recovery & Mobility

A little yoga and then to the pain cave (that what I call it) to roll and iron out the kinks with my foam roller.
Easy session to finish off recovery week so that I can get ready to hit it strong on Monday - month two of my P90X mixed hybrid!

X2 Recovery and Mobility

X2 Recovery and Mobility

Moved room round again to gain a little more space. Then did a sped up version of R & M - just what I needed ready to get going on chest and tris tomorrow.
