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!

100309 & 100310

Day 16 of My personal push up & chin up challenge:- push ups against pin 2 x 21 reps (4,4,4,3,3,4), chin ups with blue band feet together x 21 reps (5,5,4,4,3) done in a few stages this morning - had a crazy day.

Warm up:- arm swings / rotations, knee highs, over n unders, 5 air squats, 3 HSPU with knees on 8” box then tried 3 with push up bars, 2 beginner rope climbs.

100309
Puppies/pack mix
Three rounds for time of:
1 3 Beginner Rope climb
5 Handstand push-up progressions - knees on 8” box hand on push ups bars
10 Assisted One-legged squats - assisted with rope used for rope climbs - fair bit of arms used to assist

Done in 8.29 mins.

HSPU progs were tough but did it.

after about 5-10 mins I decided to do tother WOD to catch up

additional warm up:- deadlifts @ 7kg x 5, 10kg x 5

100310
Puppies:
Five rounds for time of:
25-45 pound Deadlift, 10 reps - I went with 45lb / 20kg
10 push-ups (Progressions okay) - bar at pin 3 to help with speed and muscle fatigue

Done in 8.22 mins

Rnd 1= 1.22, Rnd 2= 1.42 but felt very fatigued on the push ups so raised the bar to pin 4 to make it a little easier
Rnd 3=1.32, Rnd 4= 1.35, Rnd 2.09! Reached muscle failure at rep 7 grrr so had to wait a few secs to finish
Deadlifts were easy peasy - prob too light for this WOD on its own but went light as 2 wods in a row!
Push ups are still hard for me grrrr I felt better after making it slightly easier but still struggled with reps 5-10, probably didn’t help having already done 21 early in the day but still grrrrrrr

I actually enjoyed the WOD and look forward to doing it again. Also pleased I got both done to catch up.
