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!

WOD from Thursday, October 8, 2009

Complete as many rounds in 10 minutes as you can of:
Row 250 meters -
I subbed elliptical trainer level for 0.24 miles followed by seated cable pully row 12 reps @ 15kg / 40lb
Sumo deadlift highpull 10-25 pounds, 15 reps -
I did 7kg bar only / 15lb
Pull-ups 10 reps (beginner or assisted okay) -
I did assisted with black woody band stretched across rack

Completed 2 rounds

This was def a metcon workout for me - I was puffed out - I managed 2 complete rounds with about 40 secs to spare but I spent that catching my breath before I could even contemplete walking to my elliptical trainer in the other room!
I enjoyed it though. I know the two subs I subbed for the rows probably made it take much longer but I felt I worked as many muscles as I could that I would have done in a row but without the rower. I suppose the other thing I could have done was gone up a few more levels on the ell. trainer and really pulled on the bars????
My pullups felt great - I they were easier than last time I tried the same move this crossfit stuff really works doesn't!!!! I think I'l try my next ass pullups with the black band again then try for green.
