What are you going to do?

First game won't be until March 24. First meeting is a week from Monday, so that's really when I get into "umpire prep" mode.

I'm 5'10, 185, so I'd like to get down to about 170 by then. Really need to work hard on this.

Have had a lot of trouble with my back (I'm only 24), so I need to do something to strengthen it.

I'll spend 20-30 minutes each day looking over the rule and case books.

So really three things I want to take care of and I have two months to get to it.

Stretch your back but build your abs. Your abdominal muscles support your back but most miss this tidbit.

 

Yeah, thanks.

 

I'm really putting a lot of eggs in the "lose the weight and your back will thank you" basket. 

 

My posture overall is terrible, so I know that doesn't help.  Really try to walk and sit with my back straight.  May even help my golf game.  Haha.
