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!

Brandx Ramona 2012-08-03 Front Squat, hill sprints. Tabata Row


Unplanned rest day yesterday as I was still shattered from all those burpees.
But today I did
Brandx Ramona via Strength Diary 2012-08-03
Front Squat 3 x 3
5-5-3-3-3
70%-85% of 1rm
Post heaviest load lifted
5 @ 12kg
5 @ 15kg
3 @ 18kg
3 @ 21kg
3 @ 24kg / 53lb = 80% of 1RM back in Sept 11

Hill Sprints/Front Squats - What are hill sprints guys??? Is there a standard please???  question
3 Rounds
Hill Sprint - self scaled/subbed Elliptical on lev 6 50m
7 Front Squats, 155/115 - s/s to 12kg / 26lb
Done in 3.58mins
Splits 0.21, 0.39*, 0.30*, 0.54*, 0.35*, 0.57*
* includes 12-14 secs to walk from elliptical to weights

Tabata Row - Self subbed/scaled to SDHP @ 12kg / 26lb
8 rounds
10-9-9-9-9-9-9-9 Total reps 73 reps
Compared to last time -
6 rounds only
Reps 10-9-9-8-8-8 = Total 52 reps
Really pleased with SDHP today - I felt much stronger and fitter - I didn’t need to slow down due to oxygen like last time. I actually felt a little muscle fatigue in quads on the last 3 rounds but considering all squats earlier and I pushed through - really chuffed with progress bigsmile
