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 42 (light leg week) Backs & Bi's + ARX

Spent over 7 hours lifting, carrying, and sorting stuff yesterday out of the garage Phew. The skip arrived today so spent another hour filling it!

I was also strangely aware of my knees again last night too - not sure why, I can only think it was the push ups when I got tired and dropped to knees the day before?

Day 42 (light leg week) Backs & Bi's + ARX

Enjoyed today bicep work went really well. The pull ups not so much - I did them as pull downs and sat on the chair instead going on my knees to help them, which felt quite odd and I upped my weight too to 40kg and only managed 4 reps (they were tough in all hand positions too) but I guess that's too be expected. 4 reps and keep getting stronger quicker is the theory.
I wanted to concentrate on form more and think 'Shoulders in the back pocket' to help engage the back but for some reason I only remembered on the last set DOH!!!

I managed 10 lawnmowers at 25lb/11kg so pleased with that - up that next time again.

8 standing bicep curls at 17.5lb/8kg is a new best for me too
