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!

Puppies:
Complete five rounds of:
On the rings, lower from an inverted hang, slowly, with straight arms and tucked legs, 3-5 reps
5-10 Push-ups

No rings so did something similar but slightly different
I did..
5 Push ups @ lower thigh high bar
5 Invert attempts - mainly knees to elbow attempts
5 DB Bench Press @ 2 x 5kg
4 Push ups @ above knee high bar
5 Invert attempts - mainly knees to elbow attempts
4 DB Bench Press @ 2 x 7kg
3 Push ups @ below knee high bar
5 knee raises with pause at the top
3 DB Bench Press @ 2 x 10kg
2 Push ups @ no more rack positions so tried small platform about 4 inches from floor - failed miserably, tried on atoher plate ie 6 inches high and failed miserably again
5 Invert attempts - mainly knees to elbow attempts
2 DB Bench Press @ 2 x 11kg (couldn't get 12kg safely into position) - 1rep went well but failed 2nd - left arm gave in and I I partially dropped the DB on my pec - grrrrrr
1 Push ups @ floor - failed miserably
5 Invert attempts - mainly knees to elbow attempts
1 forget the the DB's and went for 2 reps push ups on the 'below knee high bar' just so I could finish on a high.

Enjoyed the challenge - dissapointed with my failures but made progress by 2 lower positions on my power rack. Also was starting to get higher on the knees to elbows - started to get a little bum tuck upwards and a little pull from the arms/lats - felt like progress anyway.
