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!

Tuesaday 100105

Had two days off grrrrr - 1st because I felt lousy and 2nd was not planned at all - come to do my work out and family crisis left no time for work out grrrr but life happens hey!!

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, 10 abmat back extensions, 10 push ups against mid thigh bar, 10 air squats, good mornings with dowel x 5 (doh! felt a slight hamstring pull grrrrr)

Tuesaday 100105
Puppies:
Three rounds for time of:
Run 200-400 meters - did 400 meters elliptical lev 4 no arms
15 Sit-ups - abmat unanchored
15 Hip Extensions - subbed good morning with dowel +2kg

Done in 14.57mins includes walk from room with ellipitcal in it to cross landing to workout area (splits were 4.43,4.54,5.18 took a drink)

I didn't go stupid with this as my back has been touchy lately - given up with the burpee challenge as I think the excess rounding is straining my lower back - will work on form after reading about the 6 count burpee! I real feel awkward in the jumping forward and back parts

I originally planned if I felt ok after to maybe do 100106 wod after it but I thought that would be silly - two wod's in one day is just too much for me. I thought about doing another 2 rounds as I still had some gas in the tank (so definitely up weight and reps next time ie pack saling) but thinking about my back and them good mornings thought better of it and did something else instead...

Cashout:- Beginner rope climbs - floor to standing with bent knees x 8
Push ups against lower thigh high bar x 4, knee high bar 2,2 - pretty much my current max (arms shaking to get straight and all that) so had a drink and tried again. 2,2. My form felt better - good plank and chest to bar each time (not changing my angle to bring my shoulder into it like I was doing a while back )
