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!

21 Day Total Body Cardio Fix Wk 2

So this time I used 2 x 7.5lb / 3.4kg for the surrenders which was doable ;) so up that next time.

I had to skip the wood chop because of my back so I did normal squat with overhead press (with 7.5lb) which of course was a mistake because we then go straight into X country skiers which has the overhead press in it ;(
Second round I did straight arm /front raise to overhead i.e. straight up wood chop lol. My shoulders were fried for the x country skiers so had to take a couple of breathers phew!

I started the weighted jog with 7.5lb but after 30 secs changed to 5lb as my shoulders were burning!
I did the first round of knee pulls with the 7.5lb again but could keep up any pace and even skipped a few reps for the pain in my shoulders grrrr
Did round 2 with 5lb and it was still tough but better.

Frog crunches went better than last time but still tough, obliques were fine but my neck was aching. Round 2 was tougher but a couple of breather and got through it!

Less calls burnt this session which surprised because I upped the weights where I could. I guess this being cardio as well especially on the knee pull I should go light and fast instead of heavy and slow??
