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!

P90X3 The Warrior & Yoga

The Warrior was tough today but went better than I remember lol I had some internet issues whcih slowed things down a little grrrr but got it done.

Chased it with Yoga after changing over to cell reception, from annoying wifi, just because I couldn't hack the stop start stop start any more grrr.

Now I just have to decide what I'm going to do next week..decisions decisions.

Have a great weekend everybody!

P90X3 CVX twice

Evening one for me today due to going out this morning.
I did P90X3 CVX with a light weight (1kg) and enjoyed it that much, I skipped the burn out and did the whole thing from the beginning, but with a slightly heavier weight (2kg)!
I had to pause for a shopping delivery, but I loved every single second!!!

I remember this one being torturous in the past but tonight it was just so much fun. I clearly have got stronger both physically and cardiovascularly. As Tony says Aging is for idiots!!!!

P90X3 Cold Start and The Challenge

Really pleased with how this went today :) Modified Miltary ones and did standard for Vaulter Push ups to protect shoulder but overall loved it!

Not done that many push ups and pull ups for a good while so I think I maybe need to embrace the DOMS tomorrow and/or Saturday ;( 

Haven't done CVX in nearly 12 months so be good to see how I fair in that tomorrow!

LMOD BodyBalance 68

Really enjoyed this today - nice tai chi inspired warm up, some warrior poses, hip openers, balance work, twists and a lovely 10 min meditation at the end.

The meditation was lovley apart from the workmen that were around causing a knock on the wall about 2 mins from the end - you can even see the small spike in heart rate from them making me jump grrrr. (I'm actually suprised how low my HR was during those 10 mins)

Other than that it was a superb way to calm, stretch, work on flexibility and really destress.

P90X3 Cold Start & Total Synergistics

Did cold start first, because I was cold lol and every 50 odd calories helps right!

Loved this today, modifed the crawly plyo push ups to look after shoulder but smashed the rest!!!

Flip Flop Crunch was so easy today so I have to say thanks to 80 DO for that awesome core strength I now have!!! Totally amazed myself lol

Also I manged two unassisted chin ups today which I thought I'd lost the strength in, doing 80 DO, but thankfully not so I'm over the moon about that.

Absolutely loved working out with Tony H again and considering I haven't done this one in almost 12 months I crushed it!!! :)

P90 Sweat A & P90X3 Yoga

Rested yesterday, well semi active, building some shelves and desks at work and moving some stuff about for around 2.5 hrs.

Today some gentle cardio with Sweat A from P90 - nothing crazy but got the blood pumping and the body moving ;)

Then straight into P90X3 Yoga - I needed me some Tony time to help me recover :)
