Off-season Workout

I am starting my off-season workout to get ready for the upcoming school year.

1: Get down on to the floor and back up again ten times to each side every day until school starts.

2: Build up tolerance for restroom breaks. Stop going "whenever I get the need" and get used to waiting (That always gives me problems early in the school year).

3: Start talking to myself outloud to build up my vocal chords.

4: Start doing my work laundry that has been in the hamper since May.

5: Wake up earlier.
