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!

P90X+ Intervals Plus

This is one of the best cardio routines I think Tony has ever done. 42 mins and you only get water break at half time! Don't think many people have seen it but its a great one! I max out in this every time!

Was cautious with shoulder again today as what ever Shaun had me do yesterday really upset it - I think it was the pike presses grrrrr.

Happy New Year everyone - lets make 2017 the fittest yet!!

Max 30 Tabata Strength

First time for me with this one and woweeee!

Typical Shaun T all out but the calorie burn surprised me because of the Strength in the title. But going at that pace with no breaks certainly does the trick. 311 cals in 33 mins is pretty good going for me.

It was pretty brutal I have to be honest - I was toast half way through and then afterwards I recovered pretty quick and thought 'Shall I go again?' but sense prevailed as it is recovery week and so I just stretched out.

Love it!

P90X Core Synergistics

This one made a nice change today - nothing crazy but got it done.

Recovery weeks are necessary I know but sometimes they are tricky when you just want to go for it!! Roll on Monday lol

P90X2 Recovery & Mobility and new gym space

I had an active recovery morning and lugged some stuff about and made more room in my new gym space and most of the equipment in at last.

It's not fully complete as still some weight plates to come in but its getting there. At least I'm ready for Body Beast/Core de Force Hybrid now starting on Monday ;)


Then this evening as it was just too cold in the gym for rolling around on the floor I got X2 Recovery and Mobility done at home in the warm. Long time since I've been to the pain cave with my foam roller but I felt better afterwards.

This is a great workout! Didn't go crazy with the weight but worked hard and loved it!

CdForce Dynamic Strength (half of) & P90X3 MMX

I wanted try out Dynamic Strength so I did the first 6 rounds which I really enjoyed just as a taster ahead of the group hybrid start in the new year, but then wanted a cardio high without too much more leg work as I have tender glutes from yesterdays Legs and back!

So I hit MMX and crushed it as best as I could!!

Happy Christmas Everyone!!
