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= arm swings/rotations, 10 abmat situps with arms cross chest feet unachored, 10 abmat back extensions, 10 push ups at mid thigh high bar, 10 green band assist chin ups, 10 o/h squats with dowel. + 7kg bar deadlifts & cleans

“Linda”
10-8-6-4-2 reps of the triplet:
Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight - sclaed by 0.25 = 22kg
Bench press: body weight - subbed push up against mid thigh high bar
Clean: 3/4 body weight - empty 7kg bar only
Done in 12.33 mins (splits 3.22,3.16,2.42,1.57,1.13)

Def. change of original plan / target here.... due to logistics of room I couldn't get my bench down for bench press and be able to DL and clean so I opted for my normal level of push ups as 10 is still tough for me, it seemed reasonable - no idea on its KG equivilent but its tough enough for me.
After doing a few warm up cleans (not done many before) I decided there was no way I was gonna manage 10 x 13kg (orignal target) so left ego at the door and opted for 7kg bar only and concentrated on form and technique (Thanks again Tutel).
I felt I really had the cleans down by the 4's - wahoo.
Only got two sraight bars and a EZ bar so ended up DL'ing with ez bar - not ideal I know but it worked out ok at that weight.
Overall really good workout!
