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!

110202 Overhead Squat & 110204 Snatch Balance

AM had a few mins so dropped to the deck to do some Push ups 1-2-1-1-1

PM Warm up:- arm swings/rotations, knee highs, over-n-unders, 15 abmat situps unachored butterfly, 5 decline situps, 15 abmat back extensions, smason strecth and twist, burgener skill transfers
Push ups 2 (2 proper consecutive full push ups with no pause - my first time ever bigsmile = PR!!)-1, chin up challenge with pullup revoution assist 5-3-3-3-5 = 19 reps, OHS 7kg x 5

110202 Overhead Squat
Overhead Squat 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
8-10-12-14-16PR-17PR-18kg / 40lb PR

Pleased with 3kg / 6.6lb PR today. My power snatch technique felt great with that 18kg too also a PR!!! wink
My shoulder flexibily is slowly improving but I still need a wide OHS / snatch grip which can be tough on the wrists!

Couldn’t really remember doing snatch balance before so thought I’d try it and see how I got on - kind of a skill wod

110204 Snatch Balance
Snatch balance 3-3-3-3-3
8-10-11-12-12kg / 26lb All PR’s

It felt good so thought I’d see how far I could go. Really pleased with how it went - my shoulders and wrists were feeling tired in that last set.

Just checked my records and I had done this before in April 10 although 1RM not 3RM with just an empty 7kg / 15lb bar and could hardly keep the weight up there and fell on my rear so really pleased with the improvement!! lol I never lost the weight once today (good job too as not good to do in the house), nearly in the last set but I steadied it and finished! So more PR’s for my collection Yeah!! I love crossfit!!!

Note to self:- do these outside in future so that you can dump the weight if nec!
C/O foam rolling and stretching

Excellent day for Progress and PR’s!!!  party
