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!

P90X Day 1 Chest and Back + Ab Ripper X

Ok so I decided today that to sit around doing nothing for another day wasn't very helpful, I still had minor doms in biceps but getting them to work is probably the best thing for them right??

So I did P90X Day 1 Chest and Back + Ab Ripper X wahoo!

I went fairly light and easy on everything not knowing how it would all play out on the first round and upped the reps and the weight on the second round. Really enjoyed it.

I probably went too light and low on some reps but I want to ease into P90X and not go crazy too soon as I dont want major doms to set me back. Slow and steady wins the race? I really like to be able to take a drink of water with pain

Military push ups I did on a raised surface in full plank, the others I did on the floor on my knees. The decline I had my knees on the raised surface.

The chin ups I did on bar with Pull up Rev. and the pull up varieties I did cable pull downs @ 20kg (too light but its a start).

ARX wow I now know why people say what they say about it phew. I did 10 reps of everything, again trying to be cautious, apart from one near the end which was crazy and I could hardly get my butt off the floor (roll up v ups i think?). With 20 each of the last one.

Awesome 1 down 89 to go
