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!

22 MHC 39/54 or maybe 48 - Resistance 1

When the option to do Special Ops workouts has come all the way through this 7 1/2 weeks I've took them but not today. I chose Resistance 1 over Special Ops Resistance.

My cold is really taking its toll, just come back from a 2 hour business meeting lunch where I ate out and more than what I would have normally. After taking the dog for a walk and some hoovering my energy levels were rock bottom so I felt I would get the most out of the simpler Resistance 1.

Push ups I did knees first round as I felt week as a kitten, rounds 2 and 3 I mustered the strength to get them done on my feet.
Squat thrust I kept the same as last time with 2 x 5kgs/11lbs for Rounds 1 & 2 but down to  2 x 4kgs/8.8lbs for Round 3.
Pulls ups (assist) I matched just manage to match last times effort of 12,9,8I did increase the Chopper Lunge weight up to 6kg/13lb this time and to my surprise really felt it in my biceps doing that figure 8?.Sit up punch - got all reps in.Burn out - felt slow and all push on knees.

A little progress here, some backwards steps there but I got it done. 
Only 9 more workout days to the end of the 8 Weeks wahoo! Then do I do Hell week??? I was going to but I'm not sure?
