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!

LMC HIIT Power

Day 2 HIIT Power

Phew this was good but tough towards the end. I thought this would be easier after X3 but I just couldn't suck enough oxygen  

Mixture of more traditional style weight training by comparison to Tony's stuff - Cleans, Bent over Rows. Deadlifts, Press, thrusters and lots of squats!!! Then throw in some plyometrics and some more squats ooh and don't forget the burpees lots of burpees!
Oh and some plank / core work at the end  !

Looking forward to getting better at this one  

I used a mixture of 2 x 3kgs, 4.5kg and 15lbs/6.8kg. 
Not sure about upping them next week or not? 
Should I try the same weights all the way through? 
That seems a bit a crazy because you are working different muscle groups - deadlift / row I can do much heavier than the press as they are larger muscles.
They only have two different weights but this makes some very easy and some very hard grrrrrr
Also to go straight into heavy weights seem wrong without a warm up set first??
