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!

Had a crazy day yesterday and fell a day behind but that's probably a good thing - allows for more pre WOD sort / prep time.

Warm up= 10 abmat situps, 10 abmat back extensions, 8 o/h (dowel) air squats, 1 samson stretch, 10 push ups at upper thigh high bar, 10 black band assist chin ups.

Tried a few cleans with a 7kg bar (fell over on the first on - think I pull up thing the weight was heavier and topple over backwards lol :n_blush: ) front sqaut still needs work I think so opted for power cleans after a few tries with 7kg. Which is still progress from last time as last time I did Elizabeth I did Hang Power cleans.

Wednesday 091118
“Elizabeth” scaled
15-12-9 Power cleans @ 10kg/22lb
22-18-14 (1.5X) Bench Dips on lower thigh high bar in power rack

Done in 7.07mins

I only did 15-12-9 bench dips before and boy did my triceps know to the incresed reps this time phew! But good workout.
In hindsight the 10kg was pretty light - need to up the weight to get it to feel right - if you know what I mean- it's that light that the hands are doing most of the work and the technique is less critical. Up it next time I think or maybe I should keep the weight the same but go for a full clean?? Maybe see how my front squats are doing next time Elizabeth comes up?
