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!

Insanity Fit test

Rest week for before I start 21 Day Fix Extreme but working crazy hard, much harder than normal as we are so amazingly busy.

Yesterday got in 21DF Yoga - very nice to move and stretch my body for the first time in 4 days.

Today I wanted more and been wanting a measurable way of testing my changes between programs on top of measure and weighing. The P90X fit test isn't really that great if I'm honest so I thought I'd try the Insanity Fit test.

It went pretty good, enjoyed it, push ups and power jumps were hardest but everything else went ok.

Results were..
1. Switch kicks I counted 113 kicks but the card says 2 kicks = 1 rep so = 56.5
2. Power Jacks 35
3. Power Knees 95 and I did them all on the same left side - is that right or should I switch side half way??
4. Power jumps 22
5. Globe jumps 7 rotation (28 jumps) a couple of the forward jumps in the last few rounds were more of a step.
6. Suicide jumps 12
7. Push up jacks 11
8. Low Plank oblique 42 or 44 not sure if I skipped on the last count.

Not sure how that ranks me but I thought it would give a good guid to see how I improve or not from program to program.
