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 6 Day 4

Muay Tai Knees stayed at 4kg DB, upped to 4kg DB for lateral raise, 4kg DB for Vsit with rotation 6.5kg DB for bicep curls with single leg squat and stayed with 6.5kg DB for KB swings.

Burpees done on floor again in the hopes of strengthening my push ups and for hands release, cant do that on my bar!!

Pikes were hard again, two leg oblique crunch was hard too, forearm plank again for some of it again but still tough!!!

Glad this week is done - looking forward to Week 7 as I feel a bit of a plateau this week and have order P90X to give it a go to try increase my strength!!!

I also put my heart rate monitor on today - I remember 5 minutes into the warm up and when I'd finished 1hr and 4 mins = 603 Calories!!! Pheeew
Max HR was 174 = 97% of Max and Ave 144
Using my Polar HR zones 30 Mins was in Hard Zone, 21 mins in Moderate and 11 in Light.

I also learned when I'm struggling to keep going at a good pace and seriusly sucking wind and I feel like I have to slow a little it's actually when my heart rate is above 155 so I guess its my body telling me slow down for a reason. Very interesting!
