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 via strength Diary 2012-08-21
Fran
21-15-9 - self scaled to 12-9-6
Thrusters - scaled to 12kg / 26lb
Pullups - scaled to PU Rev. assisted
Done in 7.17mins
Thrusters were unbroken with a few breaths here and there.
Pull ups - i started with PU rev assisted 12 (5-4-3), 9 (3-2) then knew i was taking too long so changed to beginner ring rows (feet under rings) (3), 6 (3-3)
I wasn’t going to asisted pull ups since GD said no in wods but I wanted to compare to my last Fran…
August 2011 - Metcon - “Fran” scaled
12-9-6
Thrusters 12kg / 26lb
Pull up - PU rev assist
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
But I realised when my arms were really struggling that to wait it out till my arms recovered and the set up of getting into the foot loop each time was just eating into the time and although GD has never actually shouted at me as I’ve never met him in person - I could hear him telling me to stop being stupid and so I changed to ring rows. Which if I’m honest were nearly as hard but I saved the set up time each break. So I will try same assisted ring rows next time and see how I go. Was pleased with thrusters though - I had my wrists strapped so not to aggravate anything and they went well better than I remember doing any thrusters in Fran before.
