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!

80 DO - Day 48 Legs + BOD Yoga Stretch

Oooh I'm aware of my obliques today!

Leg day was tough but I loved it as always. Who else did the wierd front curtsy move with the heal on the slider with the first leg until she said "toe on the slider" lol = very differnet move!

It is a great leg day workout and I'm really curious to see how she amps it up for next week!!

I'm excited with just a hint of trepidation for next weeks workouts lol - I'm thinking go light (bit of a recovery week kinda) and learn the new crazy moves then go for it the next week??? Everyone else???

Chased it with Yoga Stretch with the calming Vytas as its great post leg day stretch = perfect.

80 DO - Day 47 Total Body Core

Holy shoulders batman!!! Mine were screaming today and my left is a little unhappy after a tried a few modifed spider push ups today...I'm going to have to do some cardio with no floor work at all on saturday to give them 2 full days off before the new phase. 

Good workout though and apart from shoulder concerns I'm still loving it!! 

I really hope she is a little less shoulder intense in phase 3.
I think if cardio core is still as shoulder intense with plank work I might have to skip the core/plank stuff to rest my shoulders otherwise I may not be able to complete the program and that would be really dissapointing.


After the talk of Chickpea Brownies , I watched the vid and I just had to try them and OMG they did not disspoint - they are amazing!!

I used Bournville Cocoa instead of normal and I skipped the Vanilla Essence. I only made half the amount too, just so I didnt go crazy and eat too many.

Fresh out the oven less the two small squares I've eaten already lol

80 DO - Day 46 Cardio Core & X3 Yoga

Hip flexors a little tight to start with but fine once we got going.

Felt a little stonger today but legs felt tired and shoulders still cause me to take breaks in those plank moves grrrrr

Chased it with some Tony yoga because well my body needed the self care and I miss Tony lol.

80 DO - Day 43 AAA

This was an ok workout for me today. I pushed with the weights and was pleased with my increases but I struggled with the shoulders on the slider stuff.

I had two interuptions when I had to go help out with some work stuff which made it take longer but I got it done.

80 DO - Day 42 Legs

Great leg day but it over too fast!

Pleased with weights but this quick 3 x 10 sure does burn out thoses muscles!!! I increased to match Autumn's 20lb in the bonus too ;)

Used my 52.5lbs (24kg) complete bowflex today for sumo squat - never used it before !!!!!

I can't tell you how hard, firm and solid my legs feel right now!
