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!

BodyPump 89

Was slightly rushed today grrr seems to be a new thing - sometimes people do everything they can to stop you working out dont they??? But I will not be stopped!!!
I skipped the lunge section today and did the core (which I skipped last time).

Got my weight choices better this time and it made it more challenging ;)

BodyPump 89
Warm up weight:- 7kg emtpy bar
Squats - 10kg I think I got every rep, either way much better than last time.
Chest - 10kg - made it through and didn't bring arms in this time so pleased yay!
Back with no Overhead Press - 12kg and all good - all good this time and I thought I'd increased but clearly not at 12kg again (culprit of rushing grrr) try 13 or 14kg next time.
Triceps - tricep push ups on power stands this time all knees but got all reps in first set and shoulder feels good thank goodness. 5kg plate for all o/h extensions this time but didnt manage all the reps. Dips I on power stands with mostly straight legs - partial range meant easier for a start but still didnt manage all the reps.
Biceps - All curls with 2 x 3kgs this time and got all the reps. Then used 7kg bar and OMG the pump and burn - I think I got all the reps - just! Left bicep feels it more than the right but I guess that is to be expected as it seems to be the weaker bicep.
Lunges - skipped for time.
Shoulders - Push ups on Power stands and did the first 8 on feet in the first set and 6 on the second. 2 x 3kg and realise too heavy after first rep so I went 2 x 2kgs and just about manage the rest butonly just. 10kg Barbell and it was tough but doable - same again next time. Press's were slightly better this time but the push presses felt harder and I really had use my legs = phew!
Core (crunches and rotating hovers)- good core section only stpped twice for crampy burn but could probably do it all next time if I pushed. Also better when I haven't done similar core in Bodycombat 69 yesterday!
