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!

Thurs 100218 Linda

Warm up= arm swings/rotations, 10 abmat situps with arms cross chest feet unachored, 10 abmat back extensions, 5 push ups at mid thigh high bar, 4 over n unders, 5 shoulder dislocates with o/h squats with band. + warm up of 2-3's of deadlifts and cleans with 7kg, 12kg, 17kg and then deadlift only 27kg & 34kg

"Linda"

Puppies:
Drop the sets doing 10-8-6-4-2 and use the following guidelines
Deadlift:  up to 50% body weight - I did 50% = 34kg / 75lb
Bench press:  up to 30% of body weight - subbed push up against mid thigh bar due to lack of space (lower than last time by 1 pin I hope)
Clean: up to 25% of body weight - 25% = 17kg /3 37lb
Done in 11.40

Compared to 28 Nov 09
“Linda”
10-8-6-4-2 reps of the triplet:
Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight - sclaed by 0.25 = 22kg / 48lb
Bench press: body weight - subbed push up against mid thigh high bar
Clean: 3/4 body weight - subbed power cleans with an empty 7kg bar only
Done in 12.33 mins

This is my second Linda and I'm really pleased with my compared progress - not so much on push ups (a real goat got to really start pushing on them now getting near and nearer the floor) but my deadlift weight increased, my squat cleans with good weight over power cleans with hardly any weight and quicker to boot - overall Awesome - How can anyone not love crossfit!!!

Cashout:- Chin ups with blue band assist - feet together giving least assstance x 4,3,2,2
45 deg decline situp ghd style x 8
