Hi everyone!
I am out of shape guy who recently crossed into his 30s and finally wants to get in decent shape. Never been super fit. But I grew up in the country side and was very active doing martial arts, volunteer fire fighting, sports shooting, hiking, hunting and so on. 50-60 pushups and a decent 5km time when I trained for it. As a tall lanky guy eating junk food was never a problem either. Once I graduated college I just settled into the white collar lifestyle and slowly got fatter and more out of shape. Side effects like getting sweaty and out of breath and having a low libido included
I started just doing some calisthenics and jump rope training after New Years eve and actually stuck to it so far. On my search for things to add I came across KBs and S&S am trying to add KB swings into the mix while trying to figure out concrete goals. Getting in shape is pretty vague. So maybe something like 50 strict push ups, the 5 min swing test and 10 minutes of unbroken jumping rope while getting down to 200lbs.
With all that being said let's log the first workout here in the forum.

BW: 105kg / 230lbs
-10 Jump Rope warm up doing the bounce step
-Push Ups & Rows: (1 2 3 4 5) x 2, (1 1 1 1 1) = 35 reps each
-Air Squat, Swiss Ball Sit Up, One Legged Calf Raise: (1 2 3 4 5) x 4 = 60 reps each
Nothing special. Didn't do KBs today. And I didn't have much time because I had to help a neighbor with some paperwork and my GF wanted to watch a movie.
