I’ve been doing this workout routine every day for about a week. Not 3-5 times a day yet. My fat ass can only handle once a day right now, but I want to talk about it a little bit. 

Every once and a while I would get up the urge to lose weight and go to the gym, and I would go with someone who went regularly. I would say, “What should I do?” And they would say, “Just do what I do.” And I would. And then, the next day, I would be in so much physical pain I couldn’t move. And I would say, “Fuck this shit, I’ll just be fat.” So it goes.

But this time I saw this thing on the internet and said, “Let’s give it a shot.” The first time I did it I almost couldn’t finish it. In fact, I didn’t, because I didn’t know what a burpee was. Ha. ANYWAY. I don’t want you to misunderstand me. This workout is hard. For me, anyway. I am not very physically fit right now. I did this workout on an empty stomach (Well, a stomach filled with coffee, anyway) on Tuesday or Wednesday and ended up puking in the shower afterwards. And my body and muscles hurt, but it’s not the “Oh my god fuck this I won’t be able to lift anything for 2 weeks” hurt, it’s the “Holy shit I really pushed myself but not too much” hurt. And I kind of enjoy that hurt. 

Anyway, the point of all of this was to talk about my goal. My goal, in doing this, is not to lose weight (although that would be nice) or even to look good naked (which, again, would be nice) my goal is to be physically fit enough to be able to do this routine 5 times a day. Now I decided to add all that shit up because I am crazy and what I’m aiming for is to be able to do:

300 Jumping Jacks

250 High Knees

150 Pushups

150 Crunches

70 Squats

35 Burpees 

And 5 1 minute wall sits. 

Every day. 

I know that sounds crazy, but that’s my goal. And I’m going to work towards it every day. Not pushing myself too hard. If it hurts too much, I’m liable to quit altogether, so I don’t want to do that. I don’t have any sort of timeline in place. I just want to get there when I get there. And that’s it.

Also, for anyone who wants to try to do this, be wary of that 1 minute wall sit. I thought that would be the easiest part. Holy fuck, was I wrong.
