I've started working out a bit recently, basically because I'm back from another trip to Mt Arapiles and nothing makes you feel pathetically weak like rock climbing.
It's not the easiest thing to work out for because grip strength is almost always the thing that gets you, if you can do a chin up you've basically got the arm strength (except campusing, and I'm not a boulderer).
I've always done chin ups, but they don't really seem to help grip strength much so I took the fairly obvious option and started doing them on my fingertips, as well as trying to gradually remove fingers. I can't wait till I move to the city and can find an indoor gym to train in.
Other than that I might do a bunch of push ups or sit ups when I roll out of bed, but I'm not particularly motivated. Now that I've stopped playing soccer my cardio fitness is pretty deplorable for a 18 yr old dude.
