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!

I scaled to 2 x 7kg DB’s and Blue banded chin ups at pin 5.

Done in 38.55 mins big 
surprise

It was a hell of a slog for me!! I did full squat cleans and then split jerk - which I assume is correct?
I’ve not done many squat cleans - usually shy to power cleans but decided to go for it but boy they took it out of me - it made my chin ups the easy bit - go figure!!

This was close to “Joshie” for the slog and I nearly quit at round 7 but I’d started so I finished - if you know what I mean lol overall very long session and I needed a recovery drink after this one - I was a wreck and still puffing for oxygen for ages after I had finished!!
