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 100120

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

from Wednesday 100120
Pack:
50 Burpee pull-ups
The bar should be at a height that you don’t have to jump to to reach it - I can reach my powerrack bar with feet flat and arms bent slightly ( a downside to being tall )

I have trouble with burpees ie the thrust part - jumping my feet forward and back I find troublesome for some reason grrrr so I thought I would try this. I timed it but didn't exactly rush through ( I didn't take any real breathers either) it as such as I just wanted to see if I could complete it and I did. First 20 pull ups were chins, then 10 pulls, then 10 chins then 10 alternating.

Done in 23.49mins

Did a burpee then walked to rack and did blue band assisted pull ups, then burpee then pull up etc etc. I got a few reasonable burpees I felt at the start - then as I tired most were with feet stepped up and back. But I kept going so pleased overall. I nearly skipped this one (first wod I have even thought about doing that with but it's because the last two wods with burpees I have suffered with lower back ache afterwards) but Im hoping by doing them I will get better.
