Steve Maxwell 300 workout

I've been contemplating as to what exercise programs I should use to improve my fitness. I decided I wanted to develop overall fitness i.e. stamina, strength and speed. The aesthetic will come into play as I progress. As I'm still broke I will not be doing a weight-lifting programme, although I will incorporate 49 kg squat and a 49kg benchpress.

I wanted to do the crossfit workout, however I am looking a for a more total body workout. I used to do the navy seal workout with great effect. I have given myself 1 month starting from today to be able to do the 300 reps required for the exercises. I shall play basketball 2 times per week and football once a week in order to improve my stamina.

The programme is broken up into 3 parts. Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. I shall start with the Beginner today and hopefully begin with the intermediate by next week. I shall record my progress every day on here. I shall start with the Navy seal workout in order to be able to do the intermediate Spartan workouts. I shall start with a warm-up session.

I shall start my exercise today at 12.40pm GMT.

My name is...

M but I have several aliases that I go by; Toothbrush, JamesDevoe, Gouwan, Ashley Bufount. I realise how ridiculously retarded each name sounds, however due to my equally ridiculous sense of self I think they're cool. I'm 21, been so for about a month now so I'm pretty pleased with myself. Why am i doing a blog exactly? No idea..lol...sounded like a blast. So i gave it a try. Nah, I'm just joking. This is more of a personal log, where I can keep progress of certain things like fitness goals, films I've watched, current interests.

Now I'm going to be perfectly honest here. I have loads of goals that I wish to attain, however the main one is to go from a 21 year-old virgin (HA...it's true sadly) to a fully fledged ladies and mans man. I have 1 year before I finish my degree, I hope to resolve this problem before then. Can you blame me?At the start of each week I shall set myself small goals which ultimately lead to the main goals.

I have all the tools necessary to reach this goal and because its a new year I consider 2008 the year of my rebirth. I shall assess myself every week to see whether I've reached the goals I set for myself. Before I start this experiment, I am going to first cover all the things I wish to improve. Some of the things will be ongoing others will be temporary. My goal is to be a completely improved version of myself by the end of this year. These are the areas I am going to improve.
