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!

P90 Speed Sculpt

So a brand new one for me - Speed Sculpt and I enjoyed it. Subbed the band row for pull ups and the Band curls for chin ups and it went really well.
The plank kickbacks are harder than they look - phew! Hoppy squats made my legs scream and I got a real good sweat on.

I really disliked these workouts when I first tried them but now I really like them - just what I need while recovering - Apologies to Tony H!

P90 Sweat A & Ab Ripper A

So I needed to get back to some cardio (not done any for 2 weeks!) but didn't want to go crazy so Sweat A and it was pretty good. Def got me sweating and moving about without killing me. Just what I needed ;)

Chased it with Ab Ripper A and I have to be honest considering its only 8 mins woweeee I couldn't do all the reps for the pain in my abs omg!!!! I went in thinking easy peasy but this little ripper is no joke!!!

Great stuff!

P90 Sculpt C

Still not feeling on top form but feeling better so tried Sculpt C.

More balance stuff in this and I was all over the place. I really hope its my ear infection/antibiotics affecting my balance and me because if not I have got incredibly out of condition real fast!!!

Going to try and my week back on track by doing something everyday and hopefully (only 3 more days of antibiotics) things will start feeling better and more normal because I felt during this workout a little how I felt when I first started working out and I didn't like one bit!

P90 Sculpt B

So I'm feeling a little better but still didn't want to go crazy. So P90 Sculpt B was the one. Nice little workout that got the blood pumping again.

I went little heavy on the bicep curls towards the end and one of the squat moves had my legs cramping!! Enjoyed it!

P90 Sculpt A

Been rough for a few more days so resting trying to get over whatever this bug is. Croaky voice all day yesterday and pretty much no voice at all today!

But was feeling little better and needed to do something and trying to find the balance between something and not too much. So I decided a gentle P90 Sculpt A was worth a try and I really enjoyed it. Nothing too crazy, broke a nice little sweat and a wake up for the major muscle groups so they don't go sleep while I'm mending.
