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!

Reasses of PU & CU Challenge

After struggling with over training and thinking about it while recovering ......

my chins ups are still improving slowly so I will continue with them as I have been doing I think - not sure to aim at increasing reps per set or stick to 2-3's - I think as I'm aiming at increasing strength I'll stick to 2's actually to see if that helps the progress (as I was fatigueing trying to do 5-6 reps per set! and I think the endurance will happen naturally in wod's)

My push ups are struggling and I think it's because I'm so close to my max so I'm thinking of....
-Trying pin 3 instead 2 to make it slightly easier and see if that helps build the strength better also try sets of 2-3's
-Take rest days off to allow recovery

Try to spread it out thru the day unlike doing all 20 odd in one session in the morning - not the greatest idea I don't think ( like a 2nd wod per day = silly me) - so 2 pu's and 2 cu's here and there thru the day

Suck it and see for 10-15 days and see how I feel - if all goes well go till 30 days if not re-asses again!
