Decided to start a little journal here to track my workouts. I've been totally slacking the past couple of months. From the poor air quality we've had here as a result of the fires (especially the Skirball fire which is very close by) and the cold weather, I've been lazy on my own personal workouts. This journal will hopefully help me get back on track.
Really upset that I've packed on some poundage in the past couple of months. Working 3 different jobs, taking care of 9 year old and can barely fit time in for me so I need to get back to what is MOST important - my health/fitness.
Currently stats:
Weight; 184 lbs
Height: 6' 1"
Today's AM workout after 5:00 AM wakeup:
100 Air Squats for time
100 pushups for time
100 situps for time
Run 5k
Aren't you at an acceptable weight for a 6'1" man?
"Acceptable" according to who's standards? I am not looking to be "acceptable", I want to be "exceptional". Or, at the very least, to be as good as I can be. Basically, I keep my bodyfat at a low enough level for my own personal preferences and tastes.
Basically, I have always been like this dude here who is also 6' and 176 lbs.
Workout: 5 x 100 yard full speed sprints each followed by 10 burpees, 10 squats and 10 pushups
30-60 seconds rest after each rotation
Goal is to eventually work up to doing 10 sprints instead of 5. Was totally almost wiped out after 5 sprints.
Ab work:
20 bent leg hip raises
25 reverse situps
20 (each side) jackknifes
20 (each side) crossovers
25 bent knee crunches
25 frog leg crunches
30 seconds of rest after each exercise
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too cold to go running today. Was 36 degrees when I woke up at 5:00. Looks like it'll be cold like this for the next week or so, so there will probably be no running for me.

This evening I'll be teaching martial arts for 3 hours. This will be after helping the 9 year old with homework and dropping her off at her gymnastics training class that runs from 5:00pm to 9:00 pm.
