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!

Barstarzz PreProgram Wk 4-2 & BOD Yoga 3-1

Very long tiring day, honestly this week feel like a fortnight already - but later than I would have liked I thankfully got to try out my new pull up mate bar at last. It's brill!!!!

So I tried a few reps with Chin up max of chin ups and pull ups. Then changed it do a dip station and chin up max also works as a tricep dip assist as well so I'm over the moon. I can pretty much do them unassisted  - much to my surprise - but the assist will help me no end so super impressed.

Skills was L-Sit kickout which I could do properly this time from my new bar ;) The bar is thicker than what I'm used to so that affected my grip somewhat and I didn't always get my legs straight but great to not have to modify.

Because I cant jump upstairs anymore, I had to carry all my equipment downsatirs grrrr
Workout was Wash Warrior Heights again - 1 min each with 1 min rest between 3 sets of..
Squat Jumps - 27, 25, 22
Bodyweight Rows - for real unmodified using new bar :) 12, 10, 8
Plyo Lunges - 70 fast/shallow, 20 fast-10-10 deep and slower, 10 deep - 10-10 faster/shallower
Push ups - 10k-2f-6-4k, 5f-6-6k, 4f-5-5knees
Burpees - 9, 9, 9 mixture of stepped back and jumps as I was toast!

Not getting started for over an hour after I planned meant my pre-workout was pretty much gone and my energy levels were low for this workout. Really tough week, not enough sleep due to burning the candle at both hands and poor eating meant I really felt it tonight :(

I was toast but after such a stressful day I knew some yoga would help be feel better and relax so I did BOD Yoga Week 3 day 1 too and although shaky in some poses, it did me good.

Plumber didn't turn up as got delayed but is coming in the morning. Time for zzzzzz's
