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 100215 2009 Games final event

Warm up:- arm swings/rotations, 10 abmat situps with arms cross chest feet unachored butterfly, 10 abmat back extensions, 10 knee highs, a few over and unders, 4 push ups against upper thigh high bar, warmed up muscles with 12kg bar for squat clean, a couple of push press and 2 thrusters. A couple more with 14kg and then upped to 20kg sqaut clean.

After going for an actual slow walk during the morning I got pain in my foot after only about 8 meters  :n_angry: so I hobbled another couple and came back grrrrr so I decided to take anything out of this wod that I thought would upset it further so I did..

Pack scaled as req with omissions.
Women
75-85 pound Squat clean, 10 reps - scaled to 45lb / 20kg (NEW PR)
20 Toes to bar - 10 attempts that were more like knees to elbows
[del]20 Box jump, 20 inch box[/del]
10 Muscle-ups (or progressions) - I subbed 4 push ups against upper thigh high bar + 4 bench dips against same = 1 MU
15-20 pound dumbbell Push press / push jerk, 20 reps - I used 2 x 16lb / 7kg DB's - all push press
[del]20 Double-unders[/del]
65 pound Thruster, 10 reps - scaled to 32lb / 14kg (equal PR)
20 Pull-ups - blue band assisted - feet about an inch for the first few the wider as needed to complete
20 Burpees - I subbed 1 push up against upper thigh high bar and 1 knee-to-elbows attempt = 1 Burpee
[del]200’ Walking lunge with 10-15lb plate or bar held overhead[/del]

Done in 27.33 mins

It was quite a longish slog but I upped all my weights to my known limit or beyond and so I felt good that I had pushed myself, to sort of make up for the ones I didn't do. I daren't imagine what time I would have finished with omission added in phew I guess I'll find out next time.
My arms were so shaky afterwards!!
