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!

Puppies:
5 Squats
5 Push-ups (progressions okay)
5 Pull-ups (beginner or assisted okay)
5 Sit-ups
15 Squats
15 Push-ups (progressions okay)
15 Pull-ups (beginner or assisted okay)
15 Sit-ups
25 Squats
25 Push-ups (progressions okay)
25 Pull-ups (beginner or assisted okay)
25 Sit-ups

Done in 23.19 mins (Last round took longer than the first two put together)
I did all push ups at pin 2 and pull ups with blue band assisted feet together - I knew it might be a slog but went for it and broke it up as required.
I thought about scaling it more overall or just on the hard sections but after reading Big D's reply to someone yesterday about taking longer rest to complete it without dropping to knees I went for it no matter how long it took. I even reached muscle failure at rep 12 of the 25 push ups but rested for a min or so and ploughed on!!! 2's and 1's  for push ups and chins (some jumping assist to get done, with some alternating pull ups and chin ups ) but eventual success.
All situps were Abmat unanchoured

Although I'm looking forward to rest day tomorrow as the last 3 days have been pretty tough - I feel so much stronger in myself and my legs especially that feel like I want to do something tomorrow too to keep up the momentum lol I'll do my PU & CU challenge and see how I feel.
