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, leg swings, knee highs, 5 air squats, 5 ohs squats with band

Puppies:
do 5 rounds of
max push ups
max pull ups or beginner pull ups

GD said push my limits so that what I did...

Rnd 1 - Push up against Mid thigh high bar x 15
Tried an unassisted chin up = failed, tried a jumping unassisted chin up = failed, blue band assisted with feet in center = 2 reps
Rnd 2 - Push up against lower thigh high bar (went next hole down rack) x 8
Blue band assisted chin ups with feet in center with a little jump = 10 reps
Rnd 3 - Push up against knee high bar (went next hole down rack) x 3
Blue band assisted Pull up with feet in center with a little jump = 9 reps
Rnd 4 - Push up against knee high bar (as before as thought sensible) x 2
Blue band assisted Chin up with feet about a 1 ft apart (giving more assistance) in center with no jump = 5 reps
Rnd 4 - Push up against knee high bar (as before as thought sensible) x 2
Blue band assisted Chin up with feet about a 1 ft apart (giving more assistance) in center with no jump = 4 reps

Cashout - tried a few swings and jumps - hoping to kip but no forget it too tired. 3 negative chin ups

Interesting WOD and great as it's working towards two of my goals - I was curious to see how I got on. So not high rep but as I'm still progressing I thought it was the right way to go??
My abs were tender from last few days but don't think it hindered me too much although I was aware of them on most of the chins/pulls!
