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!

Shift Shop Wk 1 D6 Strength 25 and Shift Core

I nearly moved on to Speed 35 today but decided to stick to the schedule with Mona.

Increased some weights and decreased others as I was using KGs instead of Lbs.
Used power stands again for floor work where I could.
In the Renegade Rows my plank felt stronger than last time so that was good.

Shift Core - I noticed significant improvements on almost every move so that was really surprising and exciting.

I won't lie my muscles feel a little tired today so I am looking forward to just Shift Mobility tomorrow before the start of Week 2 and the 35 mins workouts on Wednesday.

I'm never sure where to pitch my weights for these types of workouts - I always want to go as heavy as I can but that can slow things down and I feel then I can't keep up with them onscreen. Should we aim to go as heavy as poss or should we go lighter to keep up with them - is less weight more reps better??
