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!

P90X3 The Challenge

X3 The Challenge

Push ups and pull ups!! What more can I say it's sets of Push ups and pull ups in various different hand positions and only Tony could make it fun!.

I really enjoyed it - I started off with low reps to see how I went as you have to keep the same number of reps all the way. I surprised myself  which is never a bad thing lol 

Will up my pull up numbers next time as these didn't tire me out, much to my amazement.
Push ups I will keep the numbers the same and just aim for less on knees as I managed at least 2 full push ups before dropping to my knees each time, which was a total of 17 full push ups for me (nothing for others I know:blush: ) which I'm quite stoked about. Looking to improve this next session.

Slight aside- for standard width and wide push ups were a real bitch for me where as I got stronger at military but I noticed today a huge improvement in those two movements and that can only be down to Pump and Combat  

Great stuff!
