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!

H&C Max Hammer Strength

Max Hammer Strength today and Lunges and Squats @ 28kg / 62lb phew!! Only just manged my Sumo's with a 16kg / 35lb Kettlebell.

I increased my Pull overs and managed more assisted Pull ups, Chin ups and more full push ups too ;)

Loved it!

Thought about adding Glute Chisel but decided less is more and stretched out feeling accomplished.

H&C Max Hammer Strength and 15 MIn Leg Hammer

H&C Max Hammer Strength and I went heavy!

Maybe a little too heavy with 24kg / 53lb lunges straight out the blocks but you don't progress if you don't push do you?

Really enjoyed it but it was a little short so I chased it with 15 Leg Hammer - phew I forgot how good that 15 mins is a Leg and shoulder burner with some bicep burn in there if you curl the ball every time ;)

Really can't decide on tomorrows workout ..... CdF Dynamic Strength or Power Sculpt or Max30 Tabata Strength?? Suggestions welcome.

MHC - Max Hammer Strength & 15 Min Leg Hammer

This was tough but good tonight. Upped my weights to 2 x 9kg / 20lb for reverse lunges and just made it through phew!
Bench press at 2 x 25lb again only just after all those push ups. Squat was 2 30lbs again but my shoulder is not happy holding that while squatting ;(
Pull over up to 10kg / 22lb that was good. SLDL up to 2 x 8kg / 18lb. 35b rows still only just especially after an extra rep on pull ups.
I managed the 7th rep on 2x 7kg / 15lb Military press too so more progress ;)
Calf raises with 2 x 40b tonight was very doable except that they felt heavy in the hands!

Leg hammer went well too ;)

MHC - Max Hammer Strength

Another good one, legs were quite tired and the one arm rows felt hard tonight after chisel balance yesterday.

Enjoyed though as usual.

MHC - Max Hammer Strength & Hammer Abs

Upped my weights and pushed on this tonight - had to pause a few times to put weights away and track stuff but really enjoyed it.

The weighted steps up after those bulgarians OMG!!!

MHC Max Hammer Strength

This was a really great workout tonight but I started off way too cautious on the weights. I should have previewed before hand and got my max weights ready!

I pushed more towards the end but will up it next time to get more out of it ;)

I held the weights at my side instead on my shoulder for the squat - holding 10kg/22lb on each shoulder while squatting was pretty hard, it affected my balance and I felt it my back from the weight pulling me forward so after 2 reps the weights were at my sides.

My 35lb single rows were about right after getting fatigued on the chin ups though!

The seated calf raises I did standing with 30lb in each hand - I find it more effective than the seated version. But needs 35s next time!

Looking forward to doing this one again.
