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!

2011 Goals

New year and all that - thought I'd look at my goals, their progress and see where I'm aiming at......

2010 look back - First 6 month of the year I made good progress and hit some goals ie Full push up, DL my bodyweight pr of 72kg / 158lbs, and pr back squat of 58kg / 128lb, chin up blue band at pin 3 but then I damanged my foot pretty bad. My injured foot caused me to miss so many wods and loose so much strength it's a bit scary and quite disheartening but I can't beat myself up I just have to be grateful its mending and get back to it. It's getting stronger everyday and providing I don't push it too hard with burpees too soon I aim to get back the strength I've lost and go beyond!

My chin up progress (1RM's) was the only thing that didn't go backwards because I could work them on 1 foot so although I definitely lost endurance ie 5 reps and up I did gain a little 1rm strength with my current pr at red band at pin 5 back in aug but have since lost that too it seems!
This is still a big goal that I really want to acheive this year so incorporating harder levels ie less resistance into wods even if it slows some wods down sometimes ie a fast time is no good if I neglect the strength building part right?

So my 2011 Goals....

1) Box jumps, skipping and then burpees again as foot strengthens
2) Full push up - again
3) Keep full push up and do consecutive ones (dont get there celebrate then back off -stay with it)
4) A chin up
5) Start running outside (weather permitting)
6) Run 800 meters
7) Run 1 mile
8) BW DL again
9) DL 1.5 x BW
10) Seated MU (straight legs)
11) Ring Dip
12) BW Squat
