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 33 Legs and Back + ARX

Day 33 Legs and Back + ARX

Well it was great to get back to it today. My knee was better but not gone completely so I didn't push too hard. Some lunges that I did weighted last session I even did unweighted today. Doing something is better than not being able to do anything.
I upped the calf raises to 2.5kg in each hand today and made it through feel the burn lol.

I tried the pull ups (well chin ups actually) with the chair - quite different and somewhat easier than I expected although knee started clicking every rep and I can't move the chair any further away grrr

I used the low side of the chair (ie the chair itself and not the back) on the next set of chins and with a push off I got up and then did the negative under my own weight. I was pleasantly surprised with these.

I did the same for the last set of switch pull ups but being tired I kept my foot on and thinking about it afterwards not sure its the best way??

In ARX today pfiffer scissors were not great after a few reps the dull thud I get in my hip every change became more of a twang so I decided to just try keep foot off the floor and not do the change over.

Finished with more foam rolling of all of my lower body to see if I can get top side of this knee pain and get rid of any triggers I had just put in and then following with my Rip60 cool down stretches as normal.
