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!

Rest day

I have redone my workout schedule to just 3 days a week instead of 4 to try and give more recovery time.

So I was on tue,wed, fri, sat and now I'm gonna try tue, thurs, sat to see if it helps me recover better. Sometimes life got in the way and sometimes I just wasn't recover enough for my next session and I then felt guilty as if I was letting myself down - which in a way is silly but once you get off schedule its hard to get back on - I was doubling up and it never ever works - I have learnt that lesson with wods and its the same with the strength stuff too!!

Also only doing my squat therapy once a week iit's falling behind everything else and as per Rip' 'everyone has to squat' so more concerted effort and time to that so that I can perfect my form and get to weight on that bar!!

So 3 days a week is the goal (on a rotating 2 weekly schedule) - if I feel like a yoga session or doing more on the days then I will but not to the expense of the goal!!

I'm toying with the idea of 2 weeks strength, 1 week brandx scaled main page wods, and repeat???

But maybe I should just stick with my linear strength progression till I obtain my major goals of 1 chin up and then consecutive ones, and consecutive full push ups then maybe starting throwing in some wods???
