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!

Phew - ok no jumping and no cardio but boy this one works you at times! I'll be glad when I can stay in those squat and lunge holds and pulses for the full time because today I could not - the burn OMG!!!

Insanity Cardio Power and Resitance

Insanity Cardio Power and Resistance

I had 2 days off (hard but my body needed it) and I'm back at it today with Insanity Cardio Power and Resistance and I love it - it was tough don't get me wrong, especially all those moving push ups and floor sprints but I loved it ;)

Those V push ups were tough and so were the tricep dips - I'm normally ok with tricep dips but after the V push ups my tri's were toast before i started the dips!

My HRM was messing about today for some reason - I think it need to batteries!

Chalene Extreme Wk 3 Burn Intervals

Chalene Extreme Wk 3 Burn Intervals

Went well tonight and I pushed as much as I could. Shoulder presses felt stronger and I managed a few more over head tricep extensions before having to take a break. I should probably drop down the weight but I'm trying to match Chalene with the 5lb'ers!

Been feeling a little tired this week even after 9 hours sleep last night, so I think my body is asking for a recovery week. I've been going hard for 4 weeks now, so I think I will have a different/lighter recovery week then move on to push phase (6-8 rep range) - that should be new, fun and heavy!

Chalene Extreme Wk 3 Burn Circuit 2

Rested yesterday or should I say didn't do any extra lol, after lacking sleep and feeling like I needed the rest I listened to my body.

Today I smashed Chalene Extreme Wk 3 Burn Circuit 2

Upped most of my weights again and boy oh boy my biceps!! That set of extreme slow ones had me moaning and groaning!!!
My push ups are getting stronger every session though ;)

Loving it!
