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 7 Day 3

Still lots of concentration on stronger core and form.


Muay Tai Knees stayed at 4kg DB, and 4kg DB for Vsit with rotation as touching the floor. Stayed at 7.5kg for KB swings.
Single leg Hip raises were still tough but better again. 

Burpees same as yesterday - I tried much harder to hold core and set my shoulder to concentrate on push up part also did them on push up bars on 2 blocks and a step = a little above knee height.Push ups felt a touch stronger,

Reverse Crunch went well and tried 4 partial range push ups today, I put my knees down a couple of times trying to set my shoulders and core better again.

Since adding more carbs to my PWO shake and little to non in my evening meal and drinking more water through the day , I feel so much better. I just need to get more sleep - last few nights have been warm and very restless so I hope for better tonight.
 
Heavy pull - I did two today from very low - nearly horizontal (compared to one last time) so really please with that/ My pulls are definitely getting stronger at last.

HRM = 1 Hr 1m 465 cal Max 174 / 94% Ave 131 / 70%
Seemed not so hard today, I pushing like crazy as concentrating on form more but overall the workout felt better. My body seems to be really converting to this workout more regular which is awesome - I actually feel I'm getting fitter and benefiting from it all at last instead fighting myself.
