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 Complex Lower

X3 Complex Lower

Wow more P.A.P stuff as I understand it and it was quite tough but I have to be honest I was quite conservative on my weights as I really want to walk comfortably tomorrow and after I watched this last night I decided not to be stupid!
I did do Triometrics yesterday after all  

So I did the first round of Knee drop squats, Bounding Split Squat(alternating plyo lunge with a press during the jump), Triple speed skater, DS Double L (deadlift, squat, right lunge, left lunge) and The Stabilizer (forearm side plank hold with leg raise if you can) with no weights to see how it felt. 

The 2nd round with 2 x 10lb / 4.5kg for knee drop squats, and DS Double L, dropped to 2 x 6.6lb / 3kg for the 3rd and 4th rounds.
Bounding Split Squat I tried with 2 x 1.25kg in 2nd round but I find these really tough still so went weight free for the rest and tried to concentrate on just doing them.

The Stabilizer was ok modified but was really tough with foot in the air so only did a few of them but completed all the reps.

Overall I enjoyed it, pacing it pretty intense but doable. Assuming my legs feel good tomorrow I will up the weight next time or rather try higher weights for more rounds.
