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!

100516 Clean and jerk

After 2 days of pretty much doing nothing to rest my sore quads from Karen I got back to it today after a very hard day being on my feet all day - my back isn't used to it lol

Warm up:- a few arm swings, over-n-unders, 10 abmat situps, 10 abmat back extenstions

Cash in:- carry bar and weights downstairs and outside so I could have a bit more room x 4 trips


100516
Clean and Jerk (I did push jerk)
1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

16kg - 18 - 20 - 22 -24 (failed jerk but recovered and tried again successfully) - [b]24[/b] - [b]24kg / 53lb[/b] = [b]PR[/b] by 4kg / 11lb

Cash out:- carry bar and weight back up the stairs x 4 trips

Compare to 091112.
9kg-10kg-12kg-14kg-16kg-18kg-20kg/44lb

Pleased with wod and PR - quads felt great so really pleased that I took the extra rest day - even though I'm now further behind with wods.
Clean felt better although I think I still need to be carefull I'm not reverse curling it up instead of shrugging it close to me grr - need to video myself.
