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!

Upperbody only due to foot

My foot is still giving my a fair bit of grief and I'm still needing to elevate it thru the day to get some relief but I'm off the pain killers now so that's progress I feel.

The rest of me wants to do something though grrrr

I also tried to walk on it a bit more normally today and grrrrr made it ache again!!!!

I decided to try somethine but stick to the bench because by staying seated as much as possiblle I reduce the feet movement as much as poss.

15-12-9 reps of
Chin/Pull down (seated) @ 20kg / 44 lb
Bench Press @ 20kg / 44lb
Seated Overhead Press @ 12kg / 26lb

and my arms are still shaking lol so definitely know I've done it. Very close to muscle failure on BP and SP too phew.

I know being seated goes against the whole core stability whole body movements thingy but it was the safest way I felt I could at least do something with my foot being so sensitive to movement at the mo!
