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!

Monday 100104

Warm up= arm swings/rotations, knee highs and 2 air sqauts and squat strecth, 9 (4 from yesterday missed and 5 today) burpees = another 3-2-1 Go today

Monday 100104
Puppies:
Three rounds for time of:
5 Muscle-up progressions (Seated, Jumping or squat)
25 Squats

The other option is to sub 4/1 pull ups, dips to muscle ups.

I subbed 20 blue band assisted pull ups and 20 bench dips against mid thigh bar per round.
Done in 13.30

Rd 1 was 4.01 I did 20 pull ups (mostly chins with some pulls) broken as req (9,6,2,1,1 i think) then 20 dips (10,10).
Rd 2 was 4.00 I did sets of 4 each ie 4 PU then 4 dips etc mostly chins and some pulls.
Needed a a few breaths/ breather before I could even get to the bar to start round 3 otherwise pukie may have got me.
Rd 3 was 5.28!!!! Did 15 PUs (6 chins,5 pulls,4 chins) then 15 dips (10,5) then 5 pu's ( 5 chins) then 5 dips.

Wow that was tough!! Worse because of the burpees before hand I think - I really don't like them and really struggle to jump my legs out and back in I end up stepping but it seems to put a lot of stress on my lower back - not sure whther to carry on with them to see if it gets better or not. Real achy back tonight - slept awkwardly last night too grrrr
