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!

Physio visit, Back Squat, Push ups, Ring rows, Fran

Well guys I went to see a physio yesterday about the rubbing noise/feeling in my knee and to see if he could help with my rack position and check my upper back for tightness....and apparantly I have External Tibial Torsion! Which he tell me is structural and I should wear Orthontics for with extra arch support to help with the knee tracking / alignment. This has been the reason for ITB's being so tight and have triggers in them.

Finally an explanation as to why I have never been a runner lol!
Also he checked by back and was pretty amazing how far I can't twist round and said my upper back was "solid"!!! So he has given me a twisting excercise to do and I'll see him again next week for some treatment on it!


Warm up:- Spealler, 10 situps, 10 b/e, 3 hollow body practice, 10 wall balls, 5 kick up attempts

6 @ 18kg / 40lb
3 @ 25kg / 55lb

Push ups

4 @ Pin 3
3 @ Pu Bars on 8" box - last rep was slow but form was pretty good

Beginner ring rows - "infront of center

Rediculously slow 10.08 - I didn't want to push too hard as not great eating last 24 hours and lacking sleep but still soooo much sucking wind it was untrue and the pull ups were a slog. Just shows how much conditioning I have lost over the last 2.5 weeks grrr
