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!

P90X Chest, Shoulder and Triceps

I was really rushed today so did a quick warm up and skipped a bit of Tony Talk to speed things up but got it done ;)

Really pleased with increases in nearly every set on this one and even a good example of failure leading to progress. Lying tricep extensions - which I do in a few of these moves as some of Tonys crazy Throw the Bomb and Front to Back bother my elbow. The last but one tricep move in the workout so I'm usually pretty toast by them but
Week 1 I tried 6kgs/13lbs ( I can do 12 reps with 5kg/11lb so seems like a good time to increase) I only managed 1 rep and failed, took a few breaths and failed again.
Week 2 with 6kgs/13lbs again I managed 3 reps then failed, then failed again
Week 3 with 6kgs/13lbs again today I managed 4 reps before I failed, then managed 1 more rep before I failed.
That to me is good progress?

Love it!!
