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!

Snatch balance 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

First time doing these so just used empty bar 7kg and tried the movement. Failed the 2nd attempt, weight went back - I countered it a it went it forward and I fell on my rear red 
face
Curious moevement for sure - it was different - I can see why it can help other movements - very good. I need a few more tries at this one before I gently up the weight tho’.

Cashout:- Bench press with hands at push up distance (trying to get stronger at press ups) 7kg x 5, 10kg x 5, 15 x 3
3RM:- 20-25-26-27-28   1RM 30-31-32-33kg/72lb NEW PR  bigsmile - last time I did bench at normal hand width with my max was 31kg in Jan 10
