I've been sitting my days through for as long as I have a personal computer. The last time I did anything seriously physical was almost a year ago, in the university physical education classes; as soon as those ended (I quit university), ended any resemblance of healthy physical activity in my life. I'm starting to accumulate fat I can live without, I can't run for shit, run out of breath in a minute of any serious physical activity, and even kneeling creates a bit of difficulty.

So, starting tomorrow, I'm starting to get myself to physical fitness to the best of my capabiltiies.

It means that I start running. I can't handle breaking down after a minute of running. I'm going to train for endurance first and speed later, so that I'd be able to both run for a long time and to chase people running away from me. I'll start with a minute of running per minute of taking a breath for ten straight minutes, and build my way up as it becomes less of an agony. I endure discomfort doing my running in front of many others, so I'll do them around 6 AM in the park nearby; which is good anyway, because it will force me to wake up earlier, thus maintaining a much more productive timetable.

It means that I start doing muscle-building. I don't have money for gyms, so I'll do it using my body weight plus any additional weights if I ever stumble upon those. Push-ups, pull-ups, planks and anything else I fould enough evidence for being useful will go into this. If I come up with enough materials, I'll do my best to build my own set of weights.

It means that I start endurance exercises. Mainly, burpees, using this chart as a guideline for the first month. If I finish it, it would be incredible; I can only imagine how much energy I will gain as a result of such exercise. Given that it's meant to be a challenge, I'll separate it from muscle-building during the day, thus having two sets of workouts, one closer to morning and one closer to evening.

This will probably be an agony for my body. Still, I will do it, because I don't want to become a physical wreck by the time I have a family of my own, and I'll use the public promise I'm making right now as a motivator to get me started and keep me going at first. I'll lay out more specific plans tomorrow, in a separate post. Follow #tfgsworkout for more info.

For now, I'm going to sleep, because I have to run in the morning. I'll make a selfie in the park to prove my start.
