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!

100605 Northeast Regional Qualfier Event 1

 Warm up:- 10 arm swings/rotations, 10 knee highs, 10 side to side lunges with overhead press, 7 band dislocates with ohs, 10 abmat sit ups un-anchored butterfly, 10 abmat back extensions, 10 push ups against bar at pin 4 (unbroken and feeling easier), 3 chin ups blue band at pin 5,

Cash in:- push ups @ pin 3 x 5, pin 2 x 5, pin 1 x 5 (PR for that pin as failed 3rd rep back in may), kip swings sort of (feet touch the floor so dont think I can really kip in my set up), Tripod attempt x 3 (very strange never done these before - head on abmat and tried but felt very strange with so much weight on my head/neck)

Empty 7kg bar dl's x 5, shrugs x 5, hang clean, power snatches to OHS, OHS x 3 then tried 9kg power snatch to OHS, OHS x 3 (I did them but knew there was no way I could do 15 so stuck to buttercups)

I also was trying out new NewGrip glove equivalent - works well but my rings work loose grrr

100605 Northeast Regional Qualifier Event 1

Buttercups:
Three rounds, 15-12 and 9 reps, for time of
PVC-15 pound Overhead squat - I used 7kg / 15lb bar only
Pull-ups (beginner or assisted okay) - blue band assisted @ pin 5 - all chins broken 10,5-6,4,2-9

Done in 8.32 mins

2nd round 6th OHS lost it and had to reset grrrr - I'm still finding OHS hard but its getting better slowly - I think it's shoulder flexibility as I need my hands really wide to get down and that in turn is hard on the wrists! - any good stretches please ??? - I'm doing band dislocates during warmups every session - is there anything extra I could do to help???

Cash out:- Hanging Knee raises x 3, KTE's attempts x 2, Hanging L Tuck x 10 secs
