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!

From yesterday - tried to post last night but server failed.

Didn't do a WOD today - silly crazy day but tried to grab a few mins where I could.

Did some monkey hangs & swings from chin up bar - as per pullup progressions vid. Was going to try some tarzans but realised hanging off just one hand is harder than I thought but it was a bit too much too soon I guess lol.

Attempted some knees to elbows but knee lift (ie just about stomach level) is still my limit at the moment.Didn't doa WOD today - silly crazy day but tried to grab a few mins where I could.

Did 8 u/h pulldowns @ 30kg, tried wide lat pulldown at same weight and erm managed about 3 , tried narrow o/h grip pulldown and err yep lats defintely need more work!!! I guess the biceps really do do most of the work in a chin up movement compared to a pull up.

Did 10 push ups against hip high bar. When it feels a little more comfortable I'll will drop it down about 6 inch.

Had a look at my bench to see if I could make it work for hip & back extensions but nope. Will try stability ball I think as the AbMat ones don't seem taxing enough anymore.
