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!

22MHC Fit test and H&C Hammer Build Up

So after much deliberation today I've decided not to do hell week for 22 Min Hard Corp.

I'm really pleased I completed the 8 week program and I'm really pleased that I've lost the fat that I have off my thighs and my hips. But I'm really missing the weights and I actually feel weaker in my arms. 
Core and leg wise I know I'm stronger and my chin up/pull up strength has improved (I'll know how much for sure when I do my fit test tomorrow) but I don't think a week of doubles is going to do much more for me! Can you believe I weigh exactly the same as when I started!

My general fitness has massively improved and I think it's a really great program for leaning out and getting "military fit". But I want more so I'm going to do my own hybrid for a while and see how I get on.
Lots more packing to be done too as hopefully we will be finally moving home and business in the next few weeks, so busy time coming up but I still want to get my workouts in when I can.


Fit test results  from 22 MHC..
Push ups in a min - Day 1 I managed 20 all full push ups and pretty good depth, slightly shy of parallel towards the end  - today I managed 28 ;)
Squat Thrust in a min - Day 1 I used 2 x 2kg and did 29 reps - today I did 2 x 3kg and 32 reps :)
Pulls max reps - Day 1 I got 1/3  of a pull up, 2 Chin ups - today I got 1 and 1/4 pull ups and 4 and 1/4 chin ups = Major New personal best for me!!
Jumping jacks - I did full touch at the top and bottom and managed 72 reps day 1, today 75.
Forearm Plank Hold max time or 1 min max - Day 1 I managed the full minute and today I did 1 min 30 secs.


So really pleased with results :)

Today I did Hammer Build Up for a nice little intro back in to weights  and used the same weights as I used last time I did it and everything was good and stronger except biceps and lat raises were tough. 
Loved it :)
