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!

Rip 60 Week 3 Day 3

After some Knee pain I have decided the jumping jacks and ski jumps are not good for me so I will still continue with Rip 60 but with less impact ie no jumping jacks - keep moving arms and walk the legs instead of jumping and see how I go.

I did that today and it went ok, I did the running on the spot and that seems ok but not the 'hit, ' hit' parts where you twist as I had pain up my left knee on the second one. Cardio side obviously isn't as much on that section but still get a good workout none the less.

Not sure how burpees will go but I keep trying those.
I actually it more energy left for the mountain climbers so that went better today.
I went lower on the push ups today so felt good and remember to put feet on the handles to do the elevated hip raises - no pain from the handles digging in my ankles/legs.

I have to do whats safe for me and buggering my knees from doing impact stuff with my tibial torsion I think would be pretty stupid so I will do what I can that I feel is safe for me. I want stay fit and healthy and means not in pain.
