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 41 Chest, Shoulders and Triceps + ARX

Day 41 Chest, Shoulders and Triceps + ARX

So after 2 days rest I got back to it today and boy it felt good

Enjoyed it and tried something new today - I did band assisted push ups all the way through
I think form wise its much better, so I started with a red band at pin 5 which gave a little assistance but especially with those slow push ups and then the plange push ups I really struggled to get many reps so I then swopped to a blue band which gave me more help.
Some were still tough obviously but for the clap push ups I was a least able to leave the ground on the first rep and then because of my wrist I just stuck to doing them as fast as I could.

Overall I'm pleased and with my push up bars used where tony used his I got better range of motion too.

ARX I got few more reps in today and the pfiffer scissors I did the holds again without the scissor as the twang in my left hip bothers me - I don't thing 40-50 twangs a week is a good thing?
