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!

SATURDAY 091114
Puppies -ish
three rounds for time of:
Push-jerk 65 lbs, 10 reps - scaled further to 14kg/30lb
3 Beginner pull-ups - black band assisted chin ups
1 L sit Max - I held my weight on two dumbells with feet rested on heels
3 Beginner pull-ups
1 L sit Max
3 Beginner pull-ups
1 L sit Max

Done in 12.11mins (splts were 4.10,3.27,4.34)

Not really done push jerk before so was unsure how this would go. I was gonna go for 20kg push jerks but I warmed up with 8kg and then 14kg and the 14kg was pretty heavy and I knew there was no way I was going to do 10 reps with 20kg so decided to not be stupid and so stuck with the 14kg. - Glad I did as it was pretty darn tough. But I got the movement right I think…dip, drive, dip catch and stand?
Was please with my chin ups (I did chin ups as I did pull ups yesterday and chins the day before - lots of these over the last few workouts??).
L sits were just not happening, never done them before so I figured I get used to supporting my weight first before trying to get complicated…so left heels on floor with legs straight out and lifted myself from the floor on a bar of dumbells and no parrawhatsits.


Pleased with last few days - I have kept up and not been aching like a stupid thing and not felt like I needed a rest day so I will keep at it
Doing the WOD's on the same is little disadvantaged because of the time difference - you don't get the help for new stuff but will see how I go.
