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!

Les Mills on Demand - Grit Strength 6 + Relief

Les Mills on Demand - Grit Strength 6 + Relief

First time doing Grit and it was awesome! Very quick pace and pretty tough most of the way through but I loved it ;)

I warmed up with a 3kg DB which in hindsight was a touch heavy for a warm up for those shoulders. Go for 2kg next time.
I used 2 x 4kg DBs for Squats/shrugs and Lunges sections. These were tough but doable so stay here for next session.
The lateral section was really tough on my upper arms with the 3kg def. try a 2kg next time - my shoulder just couldn't hold it up over head for that length of time after the presses tired them out ;(
All the barbell section I used an empty BB @ 7kg and it was ok to on the light side so don't go crazy but up it to 8kg next time.
The core section was so much harder than it looked. All those hovers ouchy! and I used the 2kg for the crunches and do this again next time but get more reps.

Overall I struggled to keep up with the pace and maybe compromised form a little especially on the burpees which I really shouldn't have done - Form before Speed remember!! Get it right then go faster!

Chased it with Asylums Relief just to stretch and cool down as there are no cool downs in these 30 mins workouts.
