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!

Re do of Week 3 Day 1


I turned to walk out the kitchen May 11th 2012 and holy cow did I have pain!! Back went int spasm and brought me to my knees literally. After some physio treatment and lots of rest I eventually got over it but but have been very wary.

I managed a few push ups at pin 5 and few chin ups one day when I got chance and since being incredibly busy work wise today is the first workout I've done since then - scary or what!!

I was due to retest myself but it seemed pretty stupid to push to the max when i haven't done much in around 5 weeks!! So I decided to redo week 3 and see where I'm at.

7 weeks to get ripped program
warmup up: spealler

Prep lev 1, week 3, Day 1
Set 1
6 Assisted Pull ups - PU rev top - 3-2 and failed last 
8 push ups - Pin 3 - 4-3-1 
12 squats with med ball press - 5kg
14 Mountain Climbers - on pu bars
Rest 2 mins

Set 2
12 Hanging Leg Raises - 3-3-3-3 no pause at the the and rested toes on floor between reps
8 Lunges with a twist - per leg - back felt a little tweaky
8 push ups - Pin 3 - 3-3 just-2
10 reverse crunches - being careul not to lift back off the floor as I think this is what weakened me before
Rest 2 mins

Set 3
3 chin ups - 5" from top - did one and then felt very week in the arms so when to 3" and they were pretty easy 
14 Wood chops - 5kg ball
20 marching twist
