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!

100505 DB DL, Hang CL, push press, squats & 100506 Squat cleans / Sit ups

Took an unplanned rest day yesterday - due to feeling very achey, lacking sleep and my mum wanted me to keep her company as she was feeling rough from having a tooth out. I had headache all evening and woke up with it grrrr

I felt better today apart from the headache, still not enough sleep but decide I would feel better after my wod or two to catch up  wink

Warm up= arm swings/rotations, knee highs, k star's over-n-unders, side to side lunges with overhead press, 5 band dislocates with ohs, 10 push ups (5 at pin 4, then knees on floor x 2 tried full on floor nope failed twice so did another 5 at pin 4), 5 blue band assist pull ups, 10 bench dips at pin 4, 10 abmat sit ups

1 round of wod with 2kg DB's to warm up fully

From 100505
Five rounds of
5 Dumbbell deadlifts
5 Dumbbell hang cleans - hang squat cleans
5 Dumbbell push presses
5 Dumbbell squats

Increase the load each round.

5kg/11lb - 6kg - 7kg - 7kg - 8kg/18lb

Push press was my week link but glad I pushed to 8kg on the last round

Took a few mins rest then decided to do the next wod more as a do it but don't kill myself after those hang squat cleans I've just done!

From 100506
Complete as many rounds in seven minutes as you can of
95 pound Squat clean, 10 reps - I scaled to on 10kg/22lb as not done many full cleans really
20 Sit-ups - I did abmat with feet anchored under BB and hand behind head (I now realise this was wrong after reading other post regarding hand over head - which thankfully makes alot more sense how you would touch the anchor? rolleyes  )

Completed 2 rounds and 4 squats cleans (I wasnt really pushing in the 1st round but tried to turn it up a little in the 2nd lol)


Pretty tough cycle this time but all good. I'm gonna try upping my wod time / reps / levels to get from average 12 mins wod to 20-25 mins by increasing reps where I can - trying to work up to pack reps then maybe bring up the weights - depending on the wods of course lol
