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!

I did today a couple of WOD's I had added to by journal before the show and after much agonising I will skip all the missed days (instead of trying to play catch up) and start a fresh tomorrow.

“Nate”
Puppies:
Complete as many rounds in 12 minutes as you can of:

2 Squat Muscle-ups - I subbed 6 pulldowns on knees @ 30kg/66lb
4 Push ups - I did full push ups against a mid thigh high bar (lower than previously ;-) )
8 12kg Kettlebell swings
Women 8kg - I used an 8kg dumbell

I managed 5 rounds with just a few seconds to spare. I didn't rush just took a failry consistant steady pace. Considering my push ups were done lower than previous push ups I was really pleased I managed them - they were tough and I was close to failure on the last couple but I did it.
I enjoyed the workout. I wasn't sure how I would feel after being out of it for a while - would I feel weaker or stronger, harder or easier?? but I felt good, I felt strong and it felt good to be back at it.

I rested a few mins, while I set up my barbell and did
Wednesday 091028
Back Squat 5-5-5-5-5 reps

Warmed up with 12kg x 5, & 17kg x 5 then did 5 reps of 22kg/48lb - 27kg/59lb - 30kg/66lb - 31kg/68b - 32kg/70lb

I didn't push stupidly with the sqauts but that was my limit today.
I also regretted the double afterwards - my pre workout meal was chicken with salad and nuts and after my postworkout shake I was still pretty low on energy - I should have had carbs with my salad :n_angry: but I also think I should stop trying to double up my workouts - does anyone agree?????

I'll try (assuming people agree) to just do the wod to the best of my ability and try to do 3 days on 1 day off like the site - because I double up then need extra rest and it just knocks on
