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!

Today..

“CrossFit Total”
Back squat, 1 rep
Shoulder Press, 1 rep
Deadlift, 1 rep

I didn’t want to push too hard at this as I haven’t done any heavy deadlift (PB = 56kg x 5 reps) or squats (PB = 46kg x 3 sets of 3 reps) since Jan but I thought I’d see what I could do…
I did BS - 12kg x 5, 17kg x 3, 22 kg x 2, 27kg x 1, 32kg x 1, 37kg x 1, 42kg x 1 and lastly 47kg / 103lbs x 1
SP - 10kg x 5, 15kg x 3, 18kg x 1, 20kg x 1, 22kg x1 (equalled my PB from 22nd Sept 09 wod 090921) and so tried 1 better and got 23 kg / 50 lbs x 1 NEW PB
DL - 17kg x 5, 27kg x 3, 37kg x 1, 47kg x 1, 52kg x 1 and to see if I could get near my PB - 57kg / 125lbs x 1
Giving Crossfit Total of 127kg / 280lbs

I’m pleased with my lifts especially as I haven’t done any 1 RMs really before (except for SP,PP,PJ wod 090921) so I didn’t want to be stupid but I progressed slowly to see how I felt and did what I thought I could without causing injury. My lower back knew to the last DL hence I stopped there. But it gives me a good base to work from and something to compare future workouts to.
