Hello

 

My name is Kerim (26) and I'm from Germany. I really like this site because it digs deeper than most of the the other sites. It starts were I struggle.

I have to rethink about my goals, my mindset as a whole but it lets me enough freedom.

 

My height is 1,69 cm (5''7') and my weight is 66 kg (145.5 lbs).

I'm totally fine with my weight, I don't want more or less weight. Just spread it out a bit differently.

 

My goal is to be very fit and I want to start with parcour. My focus lies on body control.

I don't like to exercise with extra weights. So I started bodyweight exercises.

 

So until the end of 2015 I have different tasks I will complete.

• First I start (I already started) to eat Paleo. I make two exceptions, I drink dairy and I occasionally eat chocolate with 70% chocolate.
• I have a lot to learn about food and be aware of what I actually eat.
• I started before I arrived here with drinking water mainly and drink only sometimes a soda. So the transition from a bit soda isn't that hard for me.
• The next task I already do are the bodweight exercises. I started with level 2.

 

Ok now the task who lies ahead.

• So next month I start my first 6 week challenge.
• After that I want to join the assassins.
• I also want to start the 28days handstand challenge and accomplish a 15 sec handstand till the end of the year.
• And the last challenge for me for this year is to accomplish 10 consecutive pullups.

 

Next year I want to participate in an Urbanian Run.

I hope my goals are all realistic, but I will do my best to work on them.

So let the level ups begin.

 

 

 

PS: Some questions:

 

Do I have to eat more calories to get more muscles, so I can complete my tasks?

I dont want in particular a big biceps or want to lift XY amount of weight. All I want is a flat belly and body control in terms of parkour and bouldering.

 

Is it ok to stick with bodyweight exercises or is there a point where it's just way more efficent to use extra weights?

Any other hints you have for starters?

All good questions and the answer is, you gotta find what works for you.  Try both body weight and free weights, try a combination, and mix it all up.

Sadly I failed my first challenge. I got sick and I'm wasn't able to workout .
