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!

Push up were tough again today, I've done nothing all week due to busy and lack of food = not great! Wondering if I should try more sets of less reps next session to see if helps as I feel I'm close to failure for most of the sets and thats not good .... maybe 8-5-4-3-3-2 then 6-5-4-3-3-3-2?

Pull ups felt good so maybe go for 12-8 next time

Squats were unbroken this time - pleased with that but next time do it quicker. The leg assist for pull ups still takes a little out of my legs and I don't think me knees really like the angles?

EJ Press felt good and unbroken with good speed so down to next pin next session = pin 4

Plank holds were tough - my lower back muscles were complaining, but the side planks went better nearly twice as long in the first round. 1 workout a week is def. not enough for me so more food and more workouts required.
Also this high rep stuff is good an makes a change but I'm missing the low rep strength stuff  rolleyes  wondering how much strength I'm loosing
