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!

Les Mills BodyPump 89

Loved this today - nice heavy back track and a great tricep and shoulder burner!
I skipped the core section at the end as I was short on time.

Really enjoying working my muscles in different ways and at different tempos - my body is changing almost before my eyes so I guess it likes the change of pace!

Anybody not tried it - I recommend you give it ago.

BodyPump 89
Warm up weight:- 7kg emtpy bar
Squats - 10kg I think and just managed it - may have skipped a rep or two due to being slightly slow.
Chest - 10kg - made it through but brought arms in when he said under the bar and I dont think I should have - change bench direction next time to see the screen.
Back with no Overhead Press - 12kg and all good - lower back felt it more than anything but could increase next time I think.
Triceps - tricpe push up on bench for a few then dropped to knees. 4kg plate for o/h extensions, then 5kg on last on jsut to push. Dips I did on Bench with bent knees - didnt manage them all.
Biceps - Hammers with 2 x 4kg DB's, then changed to normals and it was too much so dropped to 2 x 3kgs. Then used 7kg bar and OMG the pump and burn - I think I miss one set while I took a breather.
Lunges 2 x 3kg - and do same again next time. I just about maanged it but may have missed a couple due to be being slow again ;( 
Shoulders - 2 x 3kg I think and it was a push but I did my best. 10kg Barbell and it was tough but doable - same again next time. Press's were tough and had to give a bit of push.
Core (crushes and rotating hovers) - skipped it for time.

Don't like this app so going back to my old one.
