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 Back and Biceps

X Back and Biceps

I enjoy this workout  

But tonight the 2nd of 3 bands of chin up assist broke  
Thankfully I was only just putting my foot in but it's a little annoying as with only one band it pretty useless and I wouldn't trust it now anyway  

So I had to resort to do the 1 or 2 unassisted I can manage (although it was about half way through, I was pretty tired and couldn't manage another unassisted chin up at that point) then used the pull down bar that I have as part of the lat pull down pulley I have on my rack.
Much easier to add/check/increase weights than with bands I feel. So I will work along those lines now and see how I get on. I don't really want to fork out for another assist if I can help it.
So I'm planning a mixture of chair help up and negative down plus the pull downs to help me get stronger, to be able to do more unassisted chins and hopefully some unassisted pull ups soon.

Was really pumped up in the arms at the end, struggled to lift my shake to drink it
