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!

Monday 100418 DB weighted pull ups, Sprints, Ring HSPU

Warm up= arm swings/rotations, knee highs, side to side lunges with overhead press, kstarr's over'n'unders.
Shoulder press @ 2kg x 10, @ 4kg x 5, 7kg x 3, blue band at pin 4 assist pull ups x 3, 150m elliptical walk, jog, run, tried a walk for the first time (planted hands and walked feet up the walk)

100418 DB weighted pull ups, Sprints, Ring HSPU
Puppies:
Complete as many rounds in 10 minutes as you can of
Pull-ups (assisted or beginner okay) , 3 reps - I did blue band at pin 4 assist
Sprint 50 meters - elliptical at level 4 x 50m
3 Shoulder presses with heavy (for you) dumbbells - I used 2 x 7kg DB's
1 Handstand hold on the wall (scale and use progressions if you have to, but try to get upside down) - planted hands and walked feet up the walk and held as long as I felt confortable

5 rounds + pu's + sprint + press's.

This was a quite a different wod it seemed. First time I have been nearly inverted - walking feet up the wall felt strange and yet invigorating at the same time. I did try to move my hands once - interesting - will try these next time handstand holds come up - much better than knees on 8" box that I was doing previously. Tried something I didn't think I would be able to do and managed it  :cheese: I know I didn't get completely vertical but it was further up the wall than I thought I could / would do and certainly a new sensations that I feel like I am progressing in and that's good progress.
