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!

P90X3 The Challenge and Grit Strength 17

Been missing Tony and pull ups so I decided to go for the The Challenge - was fairly pleased with my numbers and to find that I'm still feeling strong.

Chased it with Grit Strength 17 - good routine even though I skipped the push ups having done 80 already! Lunges with weights, clean and squat, rows, jumping lunges, squats jumps, lunge and press and burpees sure do put the heart rate up with very little recovery time- wowee!!!

I used 12kg barbell - front squats were tough but doable - felt the quads working even though I was slower than them but saftey first and I was concerned with wrist holding the front squat etc.

5kg plate for others but changed to a 3kg or 2kg when nec. and even went to 1kg for snatches which were actually a fast front raise and very odd. I eventually went to a front raise and squat seperatley as I was aware of my lower back - as I struggle with the range of motion/mobility in my upper back.
I didnt enjoy the overhead squat moves so went heavier and just did squats.
Not my favourite routine.
