Sleep: My sleeping pattern is fucked to be honest and it is really affecting my training so i have now set a time which i try my best to stick too which is at 11pm 8 hours sleep wake up 7am on paper sounds easy, the main reason for me not sleeping well is TV, My Mum is addicted to those quiz shows try's to work out the puzzles for hours on end so the only time i get to watch TV is after that around 1 then either not get any sleep at all or go to bed at 9 in the morning which ain't healthy.
Fitness: I set up a fitness training programme for Parkour and my training for the Army this consists of a basic Warm-Up & Cool-Down, Steady Runs certain days of the week, Squats, Press-Ups, Sit-Ups, Calf Raises, Suicides, Circuit Training and a Brisk Walk on Sunday for 40 Minutes, each week i add more repetitions on and make it harder week by week to improve my fitness.
Personal Hygiene: Keep my body clean avoid diseases, after a hard night of conditioning and a jam going to have a cold bath.
Drugs/Alcohol/Smoking: This is a NO GO i don't smoke or do drugs and wont in the future. Alcohol i have cut down I'm sticking to 2 pints max at Football on Saturdays and only drinking on special occasions and a night out once a month.
Diet: A healthy diet is a must, but it's another thing I'm not very good at maintaining.
Breakfast: is the most important meal of the day, after sleeping the body needs good food to get you though the day if you exercise and train without breakfast, your body will start to eat your own muscle which is not good.
Pure orange/apple Juice, fruit smoothie, yoghurt, weetabix with sliced bannana strawberries, semi-skimmed milk, celery sticks.
Lunch: Chicken/Turkey/Tuna salad sandwich in brown bread, Grapes, Vitimin Water, Smoothie, piece of fruit, pasta
Dinner: Fish, salad, apple slices, potatoes, rice, green veg
Im going to have six meals a day. This doesn't mean overeat, this means cut all your usual portions in half and eat twice as often. This allows your body to digest the food easier as there is smaller amounts and since your never more than a few hours from more fuel, your body will always have energy.

Snack - 10:00
Lunch - 12:00
Snack - 2:00
Dinner - 5:00

Conditioning: Im fairly new to conditioning but know how much it will benefit me over time and important it is so im spending more of my time building up my body for Parkour, I'm going to try my best to attend and arrive on time lol at Bottom Level in Canterbury every Thursday, and set a night of alone training to focuson myself in Ramsgate Monday night best bet.These are my aims to complete by the end of March 2007:
Press-Ups:
I really suck at push-ups and every time i try the bones in my left arm click and pop out feels wierd and puts me off, I can do 20 in one swift repetition and my aim is 30 by the end of the month adding 10 on each month.
Sit-Ups:
Another thing i aint really good at i will try to improve the quality of the sit up as well as the quanity i can do around 40 in one swift repition aiming for 60 .
Chin-Ups:
My upper body is very weak at the moment and im quite new to chin-ups i can do 10 in in one swift repetition aiming to double that so 20 Chin-Ups the target.
Pull-Ups:
Can do 5 same with the chin-ups aim to double it so 10 is the target.
Muscle-Ups:
In the gym when fully warmed up can do 5 nice ones, but ouside on scaffolding i stuggle to reach 2, im aiming to do 3 outside.
Climb-Ups:
From a arm jump position hanging from a roof i can do 8 swift reps aiming to double this so 16 is my target.
Pistol Squats:
I think i'm pretty good at pistols i can now do them on my weak left leg ok. My aim is to attempt 1 to 10 on each leg while on a rail so that will be 55 on each leg 110 alltogether.
