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!

100529 “Arnie”

Puppies:
With a single kettlebell weighing 10-15 pounds:
10 Turkish get-ups, Right arm
20 Swings
10 Overhead squats, Left arm - I just couldn’t manage these at all - tried a couple and gave up - did BB OHS with 7kg BB instead
20 Swings
10 Overhead squats, Right arm - subbed 7kg BB instead
20 Swings
10 Turkish get-ups, Left arm
A dumbbell can be substituted for Kettlebell. - I used a 5kg / 11lb DB

Done in 23.09 mins

OMG The TGU’s were tough - only second wod /time that I’ve done them - last time I used a 2kg / 4lb DB. I spent a fair bit of time laying on the floor contemplating the next one - some major cns stuff going on I think - I was so whacked afterwards.

Am I the only one that could not get my head round a one arm OHS?????? it really did my head in - I presume it’s more flexability that anything else but there was just no way I could keep that DB up in the air and get my body to squat at the same time ohh any advice please??? 

pray

My energy was zero afterwards, even after shake - had no carbs with meal and I knew to it :(

May have to incorprate a few TGU into warm ups every now and then there's more to them than meets the eye!!
