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 15 Chest and Back + ARX

Day 15 Chest and Back + ARX

I worked hard today trying to do more reps and more weight and I pretty much did with most of the moves.

Lawnmowers up to 8 @ 20lb from 8 @ 7.5lb when I started so pleased with that and looking to improve that further.

10's and 12's for push ups at pin 5 so will try down to pin 4 next week. My wrist is holding up great so I really want to get to the floor on those push ups.

1st set of decline push ups I did 4 declines only with feet up ie negatives - before I was doing them from knees and I dont think its helpful as the angles all wrong and my knees dont like it.
2nd set of declines I did full push ups on bars decline only (negative) x 5.
Trying to build up more strength.

Pull down variation started at 20kg, now on 30kg and into the 10-12 ranges so I think try 35kg next session?


ARX is still very very tough to keep up with them and do all the reps but I'm trying.



HRM 1Hr 26 mins 642cal 50% fat Max 167 90% Avg 127 68%

Plyo tomorrow and I'm still aware of knees so I think I will avoid the twisting stuff as much as possible (as hard as it will be because I really enjoy plyo) to see if helps things further to get pain free.
