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, knee highs and side to side lunges with overhead press up, 5 abmat situps with arms cross chest feet unachored, then 5 with 1kg weight on chest, 5 abmat back extensions, then 5 with 1 kg held at chest, 10 push ups at mid thigh high bar, 1 full push up on the floor just to see if I could - yay me I'm getting there, 10 o/h squats with dowel. + 3 Empty 7kg barbell front squats to see how it felt - it was much easier than I expected so thought I would try some weight slowly to see how I got on.

Front squat 3-3-3-3-3 reps

10kg-12-14-16-18kg All PR's Wahoo
All power cleaned

I'm so pleased with this workout - about 6 months ago I tried a front sqaut when I was doing maxworkouts and I was wobly and basically couldn't do it and decided they weren't for me. Been crossfitting for 2 months and WOW not only can I do them I got easily up to 18kg wahoo!!! I love crossfit and I love BrandX forum!!!
I'll up the weights next time but I didn't want to push too much too soon.
Also my wrist flexibility is getting better too - kept 3 fingers on bar on right hand and 2/3 on left hand. Struggle to get the bar back into hand to safely lower the weight as it got heavier but a little bounce helps.

Cash out:- some chin up /pull up skill work with least assistance as possible - some 1RM's if you like to see what I could do. I'm def. getting stronger.
Also tried for some more max tuck sits as I felt I short changed them yesterady because I was so wacked!

Thoses Kelly Starr journal vids are awesome - he knows his stuff and talks lots of sense!
