| My Current Situation |
(12/28) Large and overweight, but not altogether out of shape. 5'9, 270 lbs - strong, inflexible and average CV. A few years ago I ran a half marathon at 245, so I can certainly stand to lose. |
| My Goals |
I want to feel fit - bound up stairs, run on a moment's notice, etc. However, my real goal is to just stick with it for a long time. |
| The Best Trainer for me would be someone who |
likes to try new things, likes to experiment. Someone who mixes new ideas with sound fundamentals. No fads. |
| The kind of support I'm willing to give |
Exchange ideas, exchange techniques. Find new equipment and simple tools. |
| Things that turn me off |
Arrogance. |

Today's RedZone Circuit
Got up this morning, and decided to do a circuit. I haven't really done one before like this, but I figured I'd try it out. Equipment Used:55cm ball65cm ballJC Bands (Blue)1) 10 pushups2) 15 reachbacks (with JC Bands)3) 15 Swimstrokes (with JC Bands)4) 10 each side bends (with JC Bands)5) 20 Russian twists. To do this, I used the JC bands, one in each hand, and pinned the 55cm ball between my arms to take pressure off my shoulders (saw this idea on a Jimmy Rollins video on Youtube)6) 50 crunches, legs on the 65cm ball7) 25 each oblique crunches, legs on the 65cm ball8) 15 hamstring curls on the 65cm ball (not sure what they are called)No rest in between other than to reposition myself or the bands. Rested in between complete circuits.Did two circuits, had to go to work.

Staying Fit in the Red Z ..
Its 3 days and counting until I have my first home leave to the United States. I've been living in Baghdad, Iraq in a compound located in the Red Zone, and I've found getting back into shape to be an extreme challenge since I've been here. There is a weight room here, but its a bit dilapidated. We have a cage with a smith and a plate loaded lat tower, a bench with an olympic bar, and some mismarked dumbells up to about 50lbs. I've been lifting for years, although I've never been overly strong. If I committed to weights strictly, the gym could probably meet my needs with some creativity.Eating is a huge challenge here. I'm one of the lucky ones, in that I have a kitchen in my room. Actually, there's nothing to cook with other than the microwave, but I do have a sink, refridgerator and cabinets, so I can do some things. We have a d-fac (dining facility) that serves great sodium and fat rich food, as much as you want, all of it free - the salads aren't great and the vegetables over boiled. You can eat healthy, but it takes discipline.A few years ago, a trainer of mine mentioned the name JC Santana. I found a list of his videos on PerformBetter.com, and stuck the bookmark in my browser. Since I brought with me one set of rubber tubes (a cheapo set from Target), I thought I'd try some of his stuff.Wow.Since then, I've become a fanatic about functional training. I don't have a sport per se; I just want to be fit and energetic. The beauty of a lot of this equipment is that I can buy it mail order and have it shipped APO to me in Baghdad (obviously I can't do...
