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!

100609 Front Squat, C2B Pull ups, Double-Unders

Warm up:- 10 arm swings/rotations, 10 knee highs, 10 side to side lunges with overhead press, 5 band dislocates with ohs, 10 abmat sit ups un-anchored butterfly, 10 abmat back extensions, 10 push ups against bar at pin 4 (6,4), 3 chin ups blue band at pin 5.

Cash in:- Push ups @ pin 3 x 5, pin 2 x 5, pin 1 x 5, OHS @ 7kg x 5 to practice a narrower grip as per TP (5ft bar too short, but 6ft car I can just get to depth carefully), Good Mornings x 5 @ 10kg

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010 - Front Squat, C2B Pull ups, Double-Unders

Puppies:
Complete as many rounds in 10 minutes as you can of:
pvc - 45 pound Front squat, 5 reps - I did 16 kg / 35lb
10 Pull-ups (beginner or assisted okay) - I did ring rows (feet under rings and lent back and then a little less during later rounds)
15 Double-unders - subbed tuck jumps

Done 4 rounds with 3 secs to spare

Enjoyed this wod, pushed towards the end to try to complete the 4th round as set myself target of 3-4 rounds based on others. Been doing this last few cycles and found it helps to my push myself a little more as working alone it can be easy to take it too easy and not push - especially in wods not done before - so seeing what the other on the  forum are all doing gives me something to aim at  ;-)
Ring rows - chest to rings/ past hands felt tough and very nearly reached muscle failure in rounds 3 and 4. Front squats ok - should go heavier next time. Tuck jumps felt smoother/easier - not knees to chest by a long way yet but much better than a while ago

Cash out:- Push up on push up bars - yay 1 then failed twice = too tired
