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!

Squat, Push ups, Ring Rows + Metcon "Barbie"

Warm up:- spealler, wallballs x 10, 5 abmat sit ups, 5 abamt b/e's

Squat
3 x air
3 @ feet 14" from wall
3 @ feet 13" from wall
3 @ 7kg BS
3 @ 10kg BS

Push ups
5 @ pin 5
3 @ pin 3
3 @ PU bars on 8" box
better than last time but still took  two breaths before last rep - think I may start bench press to try to increase strength before trying next 4" drop.

Beginner ring rows - Test 1 RM
5 @ feet under rings
3 @ -3" from center
2 @ -5"
1 @ 7"
1 @ 9"
1 @ 12" my mum was talking to me during my workout (which is very very rare) and said I was bending my knees and wasn't very plank like!
So I tried another with my heels as the pivot instead of my feet flat on the floor so
Heels @ -6" - she said my position was much better and it felt better to me too!
Heels @ -8" and that was my limit for today so will work from this as my 1RM

Metcon Wod
"Barbie" scaled to 3 rounds
3RFT
5 Pull ups - PU rev assist top
10 Push ups - pin 5
15 Situps - abmat with toe above head and to toes
20 Squats

and like a total muppet I did this without the 3 mins rest - which i remembered during the push ups of the 3rd round - DOH!!
Total time 10.32 mins - splits were 2.53, 3.48, 3.50.

Depending on upcoming wods will do this again next week with the rest and see what difference it makes!
NB The chin ups were really easy for the first few reps of each round - which shows hows much stronger I've got - which is great but my endurance is so crap - 5 reps was tough - must work on that!!
