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!

Push and chin up goal challenge

Start of my personal challenge to achieve 2 of my goals by sept 2010 - at least 1 full push up and 1 unassisted chin up

I will have been crossfitting a year by then and I want to start focusing on these two goals as I feel they are holding me back - push ups have really stalled and chin up progress has slowed.

Found various stuff on progressions around the net but most people say just keep at it - which I find sort of not helpful grrr I need a bit more of a structured plan.

And thanks to Mastroj of Crossfit BransX community he suggested a 30 day challenge - so as of tomorrow I'm going for it....

Push ups against bar at pin 2 in my rack (just above knee level) x 5, then day after 6 and day after 7 etc
Chin ups with blue band assist and feet together x 5, then day after 6 etc
for 30 days on top of normal wod's done at anytime of the day

I'm aiming at sets of 2's for a start and see how I get on.
