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!

Wk 3 Buld Chest & Tris

A little under the weather with cold and sore throat but pushed play and got something done.

Skipped the incline press and Fly completely as I wanted to give my shoulder another week to mend fully plus next week is recovery week so in 2 weeks when I start bulk it should be more than good to go ;)

Wasn't planning on pushing hard today but for the Close grip press I picked up the weights for set 2 in set 1 by accident and did the 15 fairly easy so I then had to bump up my weight for set 2 and 3 lol So nice unexpected increase there.

Also managed 2 of my decline sets without putting a knee down so more progress there too.

BBeast Build Chest & Tri's

Later than planned and not feeling 100% today but got it done.

All went well except the incline press - it bothered my shoulder that I thought was fine. So halted in the 2nd set and did the heavy/drop set of fly and press flat with no incline. Might skip the incline completely next week just to not stress the shoulder and hopefully get it mended at last grrr.

Slight improvement on Declines and the Military push ups so chuffed with that. I also managed an extra dip and 3 extra in and outs.

Bodybeast Build Chest & Tris

Enjoyed this tonight, was good to get back to some straight chest press instead all upper pecs. Was good to work Tri's swell - felt like I got a workout in, better than the single body parts.
Went well overall.

Bodybeast Build Chest & Tri's

Upped my DB Chest press to 25lbs and just managed it ;)

Fly and press were the same, upped my close grip to 8kg and partial chest fly to 5kg and managed more decline push ups - 12,10 & 8 so really please with that.

The last super set I kept the weights the same and did the drop set properly this time and managed more military push ups wahoo!!

Dips I did them all with straight legs this time so yay me and managed 18 with 2 breaks. Also got 30 in and outs up from 28 :)

Bodybeast Build Chest & tris

After a couple of very hard days and no workouts I managed to get it done tonight.

Went ok, upped on the chest press and incline press but my decline push ups were low, mainly because I was aware of my back. I lifted something incorrectly today and was cautious.

Hopefully good mending tonight and all is fine.
