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!

WEDNESDAY 091216

Warm up= arm swings/rotations, knee highs and side to side lunges with overhead press, 10 abmat situps with arms cross chest feet unachored butterfly - 5 of them with 1.5kg on chest, 10 abmat back extensions - 5 of them with 1.5kg on chest, 10 push ups against thigh high bar, 10 bench press at 15kg, 5 OHsquats with dowel, 5 OHSquats with 8kg bar. HSPU progressions on knees on floor then tried a few with knees on 4 inch box - never done these before!

WEDNESDAY 091216
Buttercups:
15 Pull-ups (Beginner or assisted oaky) - I did blue band assisted chins, only using a little jump for the last few reps
15 Handstand Push-ups progressions - knees on 4" box - head to floor
12 Pull-ups (Beginner or assisted oaky) - I did blue band assisted chins, only using a little jump for the last few reps
12 Handstand Push-ups progressions - knees on 4" box - head to floor - tried a couple with nose to floor - phew its much further lol
9 Pull-ups (Beginner or assisted oaky) - I did blue band assisted chins x 4, then 5 pull ups using a little jump (don't usually do pull ups but it worked ok - I had to rest my forearms they were screaming)
9 Handstand Push-ups progressions -knees on 4" box - 5 head to floor 5 nose to floor

Done in 10.44 mins
Trying to do as much as a dead hang as I could (I can reach my pull bar from the floor!!!) it was tough especially only just going to blue band and probably lost a little metconness because of it but I was pleased with my progress. My forearm were really aching so tried some pull ups - strange but it worked ok with a little jump assist to get done. HSPU prog's are brand new to me today so that was interesting. A little clicking in my right shoulder noticed at the bottom but will see how it goes.

Cash out:- although my upper body was fried I still wanted to do something so I got on my elliptical for 1200 meters level 4 - slowish speed 8 - 8.40 mins - also wanted to see how my five fingers worked on there! Cooled down/slowed for a min or so - total of 10mins = 1320 meters.
