Fitness Goal #1: Six Pack

Ok. I've been very lazy over the past 18 months and have not been exercising the way a health-oriented individual ought.

First, let me tell you all: I'm a runner. More or less. I like to run and that's what I generally do for fitness. I've run a few half-marathons, but I do want to run a marathon one day. These days, I'm good if I can crack out five miles without stopping.

Anyway, my schedule doesn't really permit any really intense training for anything, but I think I can set some reasonable goals for myself that will help me once I can dedicate more time to it.

And since I'm a person who likes to set goals, my first fitness goal is to get six pack abs by December.

So, you all will get to follow my progress or lack thereof. Here are the 'before' photos.

This one isn't SO bad. As you can tell, I'm skinny, but I'm not toned or built really. Our ultimate goal is for me to be an icon of male hotness. I need men and women alike to fall into a froth of orgasmic bliss just by seeing me. That talent will help me if ever I take to robbing banks or something.

Plain, old, 27 year-old belly here. Nothing special.

This photo looks weird to me, though. Let's analyze.

First of all, my birdy chest. What's up with that? Well, I never did the chest working out that lots of guys do in their teens and early to mid-twenties, so I need to start now... from scratch.

Look at how my abdomen is further out than my chest. That is so weird to me. And clearly, that is not a six-pack you see there.

Fortunately, I don't think I have a lot of fat to get rid of. I just need to make my muscles stick out more.

So, we begin our quest tonight! With... say 100 crunches?

I won't post on this every day, don't worry. But I will let you know about my regimine periodically and update you on my progress.

Update: I will start tomorrow because I have homework tonight. (Isn't that how it always starts?)
