I’ve decided to get back in the gym.  And there isn’t a better gym on the Central Coast than Athlon Elite.  I’ll be keeping a running tally of what I accomplished each week and a photo to track my progress.  I’ll always link the photo so it’s not like anyone has to look at my rippling, or as the case may be today jiggling, abs.  Turning 30 does seem to make getting into shape a tiny bit more difficult than it used to be.I remember sitting on the couch playing video games and burning about 500 calories.  Unfortunately I think those days are gone.  I’ll pour out a little Fluid in memory.This week I started it off with some measurements:

  • Max pushups
    • I think I maxed out at around 32 or 33… I can’t remember.  Maybe because the number is pitiful?
  • Broad Jump
    • I got a “Wow” from Travis Harwood but again fell a bit short of what I used to be able to get.  I think I jumped about 96-98″? Somewhere around there.
  • 60s situps
    • Around 40 was what I had I think.  I’ll revise this when I get the actual numbers.
  • 2000m row
    • I started off at a great pace of 1:50 per 500m and then steady dropped off to 2:10 per 500m.  I think over all I was around 7:40 or so?  Again I’ll revise this when I get the actual numbers.

And after a brief 10 minute work out:

  • 10 thrusters
  • 10 blast strap pushups
  • 20 hanging knees to elbows 

Athlon Elite also took my body fat measurements, height, and weight.  I weight 175lb and I’m just under 5’11″.  Body fat measurements will be posted later.
