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!

Grr I'm a few days behind again due to work / busy

Today managed to get back at it..

TUESDAY 091020
“Tabata Something Else”
Complete 32 intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by ten seconds of rest where the first 8 intervals are pull-ups, the second 8 are push-ups, the third 8 intervals are sit-ups, and finally, the last 8 intervals are squats. There is no rest between exercises.
Buttercups:
Do three rounds of work:

PU 14-11-9 - assisted with black band
PU 7-6-6 - against thigh high bar
SU 5-6-6 - abmat with arms across chest, unanchored
lost a bit of time as downloaded rocky tabata music and after 4 mins it went strange and wasn't sure where I was ie 10 or 20 secs so restarted the track and carried on
S 10-8-8

Total 96

Then after a few mins rest and set up..

Friday 091023
“Tommy V”
For time:
Buttercups:
pvc-15 pound Thruster, 12 reps
15 ft Rope Climb, 6 ascents
pvc-15 pound Thruster, 9 reps
15 ft Rope Climb, 3 ascents
pvc-15 pound Thruster, 6 reps
15 ft Rope Climb, 1 ascents
*You can sub beginner rope climbs if you are unable to climb a rope yet.

I did a buttercup-ish as I used a 10kg / 22lb barbell for thrusters. I tried some beginner rope climbs for the first time (rope hung from chin up bar of rack) - so laid on the floor and pulled myself to vertical as per pull up progressions vid (she is awesome by the way - very inspiration lady ie I want to be that strong wow)
Done in 9.12mins
The tow rope I used was terrible and chewed my hands up which really hindered my progress but overall I was pleased with my pulls ie better than I expected. Must get a better rope.
Tough day at the office phheww
