Played ping pong with my dad. He's way, way better than I am.

New Goal:
*Learn how to serve a curveball.

Learned how to serve a curveball.

Sweet. I did something. Too bad it's not parkour related. I think my lateral explosiveness has gotten better though.

what do you mean by QM?

What did you mean with the L sits?

Congrats on getting back on the path to good health and fitness.

I've been working out quite a lot these past few months. My company offers workout sessions Tuesdays and Thursdays, basically high impact general bodyweight exercises, free weights, running, medicine balls and resistance band exercise.

Also, I started doing Krav Maga, with classes 3x a week.

Current Height: 5'10
Current Weight: 185

However, my paunch (which I had at the end of my senior year in college) is noticeably smaller, and I'm feeling healthier. I no longer have a muffin top.

I have eradicated the paunch. I've cut back on Krav Maga classes to 2x a week to give my body time to recover, but I'm thinking of going 3x a week again in order to get my cardiovascular endurance up.

My next goal is increasing my cardiovascular endurance. I have to get a great deal more of it if I want to pass my Level 1 belt test. I'm giving myself 6+ months to be able to run a minimum of 5 miles without stopping.

Ok, I have a quantifiable goal now. The average class at my Krav Maga gym lasts for one hour, and although the material differs from class to class, the relative amount of work done is the same. I will measure my strength and cardiovascular progression in terms of the Class Unit (CU).

Currently, I can work at 50% of what one class expects me to do in terms of athletic output (0.5 CU). I need to make it to 2 CU at minimum before I can do the belt test.

That means cardio. A lot of cardio.

Other goals:
-Touch my toes from standing position without bending my knees. (I still can't do this for some reason)
-Kick through all the way to the top of my head , I can currently get up to collar bone level (Increases the power of kicks to the groin)

Diet: I'm headed back to school either this fall or next spring. Either way, I'm going to be exposed to my school's readily available soda machines again. I've been avoiding the stuff, but I need to not fall off the boat with regards to the sugary nectar of the gods.
