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!

Lows of 9 + 9 + 7 + 6 + 7 = 38

My first time doing this one and found it an Interesting workout!!! Quite enjoyed it. Realised part way thru that I set my Ultra timer for ipod touch wrong by seting up 20 secs, 10 secs x 4 then 1 min rest which I realised actually gave me 1 min 10 secs rest each time DOH!!
Up intervals to 5 next time I think - the pull ups were really touch on my arms but I should increase the work next time.

I have no idea some guys do 20 odd reps in 20 secs - just incredible!!!

Cashout:- Chin ups with blue band assist - feet together giving least assstance x 4 and failed to get chin over on the 5th, feet 2" apart x 3 and then failed, feet 6" apart x 3
Knees to elbows attempts x 10 (3,3,4)
