Ok, this is another attempt at logging, because my fitness has gotten so pathetic, that I need some encouragement to dig myself out of rock bottom. I'm fat, lazy and really, really out of shape. I finally have time to make some goals though.

*5 pullups/set
*5 dips/set
*10 L-Sits/set
*Run 400m without getting winded
*QM, 30m
*Handstand, any length of time.
*Touch my toes without bending my knees

Medium Term Goals (Within 4 months):

*20" vertical leap
*Run 1 mile without getting winded
*15 pullups
*15 dips
*20 L-sits
*QM 90m
*Handstand for 10 seconds
*Side and rear splits

Long Term Goa (Within 1 year)l:

*30" vertical leap
*5 muscle ups
*25 dips
*8 V-sits

Looks like a good start, bud! How about a short personal statement with your personal stats (height, weight, body comp, etc) and a plan that you've come up with the achieve the goals you want?

I want to see what you think will work first before I start making suggestions.

Personal Goal: Must become more fit for parkour. Too many injuries as a result of lack of fitness.

H: 5'10
W: 170 lbs.
Body Composition: Jello-like, inflexible. Some problems with sore knees. I have godawful hand-eye coordination and body awareness, and I would like to work on that as well.

2/9: Well, I got a solid 8 hours of sleep, so I'm pretty happy about that. I'm going to try and improve my sleep schedule this semester.

2/16: Regularized Sleep Schedule. Sleeping 8 hrs. a night now. Feeling goooood. My acne's gone down because of that too.

Awesome work! Keep it up!

Oh noes! I locked myself out of my apartment by accident. Didn't want to pay locksmith $50.

Only shelter seems to be the school library.

Sleep schedule messed up again. ARGH.

Computer died. Letting you know that I'm still alive.

Gotten a bit more flexible though. Lost 5 lbs. Should endeavor to lose 5 more.

The greatest builderer in the world started that way. He didn't go to the library, he went... up.

"In 1982 he suffered two accidents, the first in January at the age of 19 and the second in September at the age of 20. He fell 15 metres (49 ft) on both occasions. He suffered multiple fractures and now suffers from permanent vertigo [1]."-From Alain Robert's wiki page.

I'm not quite in the mood for multiple fractures and permanent vertigo.

Crap. Looking back on this, none of this ended up panning out.

Anyway, reassessment of my goals.

Recently, I found out that I was terribly out of shape. Maybe it was because I haven't really done Parkour in the last year.

Height: 5'10
Weight: 180

So I started exercising again, because I wanted to start doing Parkour again now that I'm (mostly) out of school and have more free time.

Recently, I did the WOD for Monday and Tuesday of this week.

Monday:
-Managed to scramble over a 4 foot high fence. Good sign. Didn't get over it too quickly though, and dropping 4 feet seemed to hurt a bit. Note to self, don't drop.
-Did some cat hangs on a handicapped ramp, that was nice.
-Did some QM. Was hard because I couldn't really balance myself or get low enough.
-Noticed I had about no endurance whatsoever.

Tuesday:
-Couldn't do 1 hand pushups or pistols at all. Did regular two legged squats instead, 3x20.
-3x10 pushups. Because I'm weak.

I will keep at the WOD and formulate a list of (more realistic) goals to work towards.

Current Short Term Goal: 50 total pushups.

Current Long Term Goal: Handstand pushup. Pistol.

Just a question, in the goals section, what do you mean by 10 L-Sits/Set? I'm pretty sure an L-Sit is a static hold...

Fell asleep early yesterday. Might not be getting enough of it.

Yixin (pronounced ee-shin) · « **Reply #13 on:** June 25, 2010, 05:37:10 AM »

Practiced QMing last night in bare feet. Need to get lower in QMs.

Painful.

Yixin (pronounced ee-shin) · « **Reply #14 on:** June 26, 2010, 06:59:34 AM »

Did balance training yesterday. Need to get better at that too. Don't quite know how to. Barefoot again.

Yixin (pronounced ee-shin) · « **Reply #15 on:** June 29, 2010, 06:36:20 PM »

Danced for 36 minutes?

Why?

Because I could.

That's why.

Bike Riding (2 hrs.)
The Natural Method (Unspecified Amount of Time)
Ping Pong (30 minutes).

Burpees! Whee!

Yixin (pronounced ee-shin) · « **Reply #18 on:** July 14, 2010, 05:46:04 AM »

Update: Lost 3 lbs. so far. I also feel way, way better than I've felt in months.

Yixin (pronounced ee-shin) · « **Reply #19 on:** July 15, 2010, 05:58:57 AM »

I think there might be a flaw in my basic jumping/squatting technique. I make a lot of noise when I land.
