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 97

BodyPump again and wow it makes your muscles scream! Low weigth but so many reps = ouch.
I couldn't even keep up in the lunge track for the burn!

But it does feel great to be throwing a barbell around again ;) Had to drop to crazy light weights for the shoulders track as they were burning up!

Great workout - love this one!

BodyPump 97
Warm up weight:- 7kg emtpy bar
Squats - 8kg - up 1kg from last time and got most of the reps - same for next time
Chest - 8kg - screamy and just about made it = same next time
Back/Overhead Press - 9kg for first 2 sections then 10kg for that last section. go all 10kg next time.
Triceps - 7kg bar and made it but didnt manage all the push ups.
Biceps - 7kg bar and managed all the reps I think ;) try 8kg next time.
Lunges 2 x 3kg - ok through the squats but got the lunges and after 2 reps I dropped to no weight and could not make all the reps. Took breaks and just back in but missed quite a few. The bottom halves make my thighs scream
Shoulders - started with bar (empty I think), then dropped to 2 x 3kg, then 2 x 2kg then 2 x 1kgs as my shoulders were on fire. Try all 2kg next time to see if I can get the reps.
Core (all crunches/upper core work) - didn't quite manage all the reps but better than I thought.
