I'm starting it tonight! Like most everyone else, I USED to be in shape. I've never been big or cut, but I used to be in shape and have my six pack and I was tone. Well, it's official. I'm the skinny guy with a gut 
. I'm not happy with me and I'm changing it. I'm 6'3" tall and weigh 175 or so, I'm looking to tone up first and then hopefully add some weight later. I don't want to lose much weight b/c I'm already pretty skinny.
Here's my plan: (to start)
Nightly Jogs - Starting with 1 mile and working up.
Crunches - At least 3 variations per night
- 3 sets of 20 of each variation
Push-ups - At least 25 per night
Pull-ups - At least 15 per night
Back-Stretches? - As many as I can daily
I currently take the stairs at my office everyday and we're on the fourth floor so that's going to continue to be my leg work out. I skip steps to get good extension, like doing a lunges uphill.
Does this sound like it's a good start? I plan on increasing reps every couple of weeks. I could use some good variations of push-ups and crunches that will reduce love handles. I've heard that working some types of crunches actually build the love handles. I plan to do push-ups with my feet on the couch.
I'll try to post pics every couple of weeks to see any progress, but I'd love to get some feedback. So what do ya think?
