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!

21 Day Fix Upper Fix + Tai Cheng Day 4

Upped my weights again on second round and it felt good. Push ups weren't as good but considering my chest hurt last week I'm pretty pleased with no pain with 9 push ups on feet and 9 on knees ;)

4 days to go and I'll have finished 21 day fix - really looking forward to extreme arriving!!

21 Day Fix Lower Fix + Tai Cheng Day 3

21 Day Fix Lower Fix (I swopped with upper to give my chest another couple of days after resting it completely yesterday) + Tai Cheng Day 3.
The thigh leg lift and the quad raise felt much better today. I upped most of my weights on the second round and it felt good. 
To get enough weight to work my legs I have to let the weights hang as I struggle to hold them up at my shoulders? Any one else?

21DF Total Body Cardo fix + Tai Cheng Day 2

I was out for 9 and half hours yesterday travelling 100 miles for a 3 hr meeting and 100 miles back wow long tiring day so no workout for me.

Today felt good to get 21DF Total Body Cardo fix + Tai Cheng Day 2 done. Subbed in a weighted squat in for wood chop and I went a little heavy but all good.

At work today I had to push a trolly with 150kg on it, on the bumpy concrete uphill in the rain - it was not fun but got done no prob but this evening oh wow I'm so aware of my chest and sternum I think I pushed a bit too hard!! Time for bed for me! Keep pushing play everyone.

Tai Cheng Day 1

Well today I just wasn't fully recovered enough for Leg and back so I did the function test and Day 1 of Tai Cheng with my mum. (She found the foam rolling and plank a bit much for her which was a shame has she's lost a lot of strength in her shoulders)

It was good to rest and the few stretches we did in warm up was just a little and I felt pretty good and relaxed afterwards so really looking to properly attack Legs and Back tomorrow .
