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 2012-8-20 JT Tabata Row/SDHP


Brandx Ramona vis Strength Diary 2012-8-20
JT
21-15-9 for time:
Handstand Push-ups s/s to Heavy DB press @ 5kg / 11lb
Ring dips - s/s to bench dips on bar
Push-ups - on bar @ pin 5
Done in 16.23 mins
I think I got the scaling wrong on this one as it was a real slog - but checking my time I was similar to others???
But it was heavily broken and really tough on my shoulders.
DB’s broken into 15-6, 6-4-5, 6-3, Dips into 10-8-3, 7-5-3, 6-3, Push ups into 5-5-5-4-3, 3 then changed bar up a position 5-5-2, 5-4.
My intention was to compare to my last time which was May 2010..
100522 “J.T.”
Pack /puppish
21-15-9
HSPU (If you cannot do HSPU choose the hardest progression you are able to and use that) - Knees on 8” box
Bar dips - bench dips at bar at pin 5
Push ups - scaled to 15-9-6 bar at pin 5
Done in 10.10 mins
Doubled up to catch up but as soon I started JT I realised it was a mistake! I planned to do all in the 21-15-9 rounds but after the first few push ups I realised how fatigued I still was from yesterday and I was not going to make 21 so decided to drop to 15-9-6 and just slogged thru to the finish.

Tabata Row
Record meters s/s to SDHP with 8kg KB (I was gonna do 12kg but after 3 warm up reps and my arms were smoked from JT I dropped to 8kg) Also first time using KB's for SDHP.
11-10-10-10-10-10-10-10 Total reps 81 reps bigsmile
Compared to last time
Tabata Row - Self subbed/scaled to SDHP @ 12kg / 26lb
8 rounds
10-9-9-9-9-9-9-9 Total reps 73 reps
It actually felt tougher than last time and my quads started cramping towards the end.
But if I’m right with my power calculations then my power output was higher doing 81 reps @ 8kg vs 72 reps @ 12kg wink
