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 4

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 again - 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 are getting better  ;)

Reverse Crunch went well and tried 5 partial range push ups today, I put my knees down a couple of times trying to set my shoulders and core better again.
My pulls are definitely getting stronger still.
 
When I was done and before my warm up I spent a few mins on push ups, doing some standard, wide and tried a diamond one from knees. Better than I thought. So fo P90X I think I will do wide push ups on floor on knees, others on the push bars on steps.
Tried a full push up on bars on floor and didn't make it but was tired so I'm hopeful it wont be long.
I also tried a chin up with Pull up rev. and it was pretty easy ;), tried a wide pull up and that wasn't so good as I expected. But my back does feel stronger.
HRM = 1 Hr 9m 507 cal Max 173 / 93% Ave 127 / 68%
 
My heart rate was not high for as along this time so I'm definielty getting fitter. I recovered quicker and didnt sweat as much either. MI really feel much better and feel I'm not fighting myself at last.
4 more days next week of Rip 60 and then I'm gonna stat P90X wahoo!!
