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!

Warm up= 8 abmat situps, 8 abmat back extensions, 8 o/h (dowel) air squats, 1 burgener type lunge/hip flexor, arms push up stretch each side, 8 push ups at upper thigh high bar, 4 u/h pulldown @ 20kg, 4 o/h pulldown @ 20kg

“Fran”
Puppies: scaled further

12-9-6
thruster 27lb / 12kg
15-12-9
Pull ups - subbed o/h pulldowns @ 22kg

Done in 6.52mins
Not great as I did same reps but with 10kg thrusters and u/h pulldowns at 20kg and it only took me 5.50mins!

The thrusters were tougher than I thought they'd be for only 2kg increase and the o/h pulldowns almost killed me - I did o/h as I wanted to mix up my grips but I guess it wasn't my best choice. I did it this morning about an hour after breakfast ie much earlier than normal - normal around 5pm - and my energy levels were pretty low compared to normal all in all quite dissapointed.

I was reading about chinup/pullups in other threads and thought mixing it up might be best but maybe I should stick with chin up/uh as it's my goal and it feels more confortable to me till I have achieved my goal then try o/h???? or becuase for long time I have been favouring u/h - I should work with o/h until I get it to equal the strength of u/h and then mix it up ooohhhh I used to be indecisive but now I just can't make up my mind grrrrrrr
