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!

Rest Day / PU & CU Challenge

Rest Day for me today

My pecs and shoulders feel tender today from the last few days and mainly overwork of many reps yesterday but decided to get my challenge reps done and then maybe go for a long walk later on.

Day 9 of My personal push up & chin up challenge:- push ups against pin 2 x 13 reps (4,3,3,3), chin ups with blue band feet together x 13 reps (4,4,4,1)

I also found a uk supplier of powerbands at London Kettlebell so have ordered #2 band - the next band down (in assistance level) ready for my next step of my chin ups ;)

I've found power bands really great for getting stronger at chin ups - they are listed as follows

  • The maximum resistance provided by PR Band #1 is approximately 35lbs.
  • The maximum resistance provided by PR Band #2 is approximately 50lbs. - Ordered this 28 Feb 10
  • The maximum resistance provided by PR Band #3 is approximately 80lbs.  - then moved to Iron Woody Blue Band 17 Dec 09
  • The maximum resistance provided by PR Band #4 is approximately 120lbs. - moved to Iron Woody Green band 29 Nov 09
  • The maximum resistance provided by PR Band #5 is approximately 150lbs. - I started with Iron Woody Black band 11 Oct 09
