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 Week 10 Day 5 Legs and Backs + ARX

My pull bar arrived, had a bit of Krypton factor to put it together but got there in the end lol.

It actually works on only 3 doors in this house. But hey it works lol. I can do jumping pull ups on it very easily because it so low compared what I usually use.
I tried a blue band wrapped round it and my knee and only got about half way but I was pretty cold really ie no warm up. I felt it in all kinds of places too! (In hindsight I think this was a good thing as I think it got things firing correctly that maybe weren't before )
Tried the black band and wahoo I managed 3 chin ups.


Week 10 Day 5 Legs and Backs + ARX

I tried the new bar with black band and managed 5 chin ups just and then the other positions were really hard ie only 2 or 3 reps and also my knee didn't like being squished!
So from switch grips on I went back to my normal bar with pull up revolution.

So I may have to try the chair option and see what that's like?
Because it's much lower ie I stand with my hands on it in chin up position and my arms are 90 degs so I can't really use my PU revolution/chin up max because I need to put a foot in??

After I'd finished I wondered if I could get it to hang on my normal bar/rack and its about 2 inches to narrower = bummer!

Will have to have a play and see what I can sort out for the best scenario!

A few Pr's on my leg stuff today so that was good. But abs were tired as usual on a friday. Tony says don't work abs everyday but ARX followed by yoga belly 7, followed by ARX is abs everyday in my book!!
