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!

Insanity The Asylum Strength

Insanity The Asylum Strength again for me today - I love this workout!!

I warmed up with 1st round at 7.5lb /3.4kg this time again and 2nd round with 4kg / 8.8lb.

Then I did the rest of the workout with 4kg / 8.8lb except the 2nd and 3rd round of shoulders which I used the lighter ones so more progress yay!!

I managed lots more push ups on my feet before dropping to my knees today too ;) 

I'm loving the progress that I keep seeing workout to workout with this (sorry I'm not used to such noticeable progress)

Chased it with  Insanity The Asylum Relief for a nice calming stretch.

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.

Insanity The Aslyum Speed & Agility + Relief

Insanity The Aslyum Speed & Agility + Relief

It was nearly as brutal as last time lol.

But I loved it, maybe not ideal with post leg day doms but I chased it with Relief for a great stretch and got a nice burn!

As usual the plank work is tough for me but I felt I improved here and there and small bits of progress is still progress right?

Insanity The Asylum - Vertical Plyo followed by Relief

Insanity The Asylum - Vertical Plyo followed by Relief

Om my word - this is a bananas work out!!! Needless to say a didn't smash it by any stretch of the imagination but I gave it a good go. I had to take lots of breaks but I'm pleased with what I did and surprised myself with some of the stuff I managed ;)

I'm really pleased I chased with some nice stretching in Relief too - need it after all that crazy jumping.

T25 Lower Focus + Insanity The Asylum Relief

T25 Lower Focus + Insanity The Asylum Relief

This was good tonight and tough as usual ;)

I had to come out of the slow squats for some reason as they were burning!!

But I'm pleased I managed all the way through the lunges/lunge pulse/lunge hold section on the left side (first time ever I think) and had to take a couple of knee downs on the right.

Followed it with Relief which I needed - a bit more of a stretch was definitely needed and appreciated. On of the stretches I struggled with as my quads were shaking so I modified it but still got a nice stretch.

I have to say I feel pretty tired tonight and not really sure why - early night for me I think.
