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!

Sunday 101226
“Bull”
Puppies:
Two rounds for time of:
50 Double-unders (or 50-100 single unders) - subbed 25 step ups @ 13” as still strenthening foot
18 pound / 8kg Overhead squat, 30 reps - broken as nec
30 Pull-ups (Beginner or assisted okay) - 1st round blue band 10 feet together rest 12” apart mixed chins and pulls, 2nd round beginner ring rows - brokene as nec
Run 1/4-1/2 mile - ellipitcal 1/2 mile

Done in 32.30 mins
Splits 15.27, 17.01

Tough slog this one - I wanted to drop the reps very early on in first round and definetly thought I should for round 2 but it’s a Hero wod and it will build my endurance so I got it done broken into 5’s as needed - RIP Bull.

I was shattered afterwards but pleased and proud that I pushed through for a Hero.

I wanted to check my heart rate during the 800m and 1st round started at level 4 as normal and my heart rate went straight up to 170-171 so I dropped the level down and down and down to 1 but I heart rate still kept in the low 170’s! But I pr’d my 800 time by 4 secs @ 5.20mins which considering it took less effort by level / gradient (but not shown in heart rate drop) I guess it’s not really a pr lol. 2nd round I started on level 1 to see if it made a difference and my heart rate still stayed around in the 170’s even up to 174! so I guess on top of the rest of the wod - it wasn’t a good comparison trial lol so will recheck on just an elliptical day rolleyes

It also gave me chance to try some different hand position during the OHS and I’m pleased to say that my flexibilty is getting better as I can OHS with my hands closer together YAY - which is much better for my wrists - if I can get another few inch in I’ll be relly pleased.
