A little story plus my training program

I thought about sharing my fitness programs with you guys, i never had a camcorder, i might get one someday but until then why not sharing with you what i do to stay in shape? Before i write it down, i'll tell you a little more about myself. I'm a autodidact, i've been one since i was around 15 years old. The way i've learned most of my english is somekind of unusual, for those who did'nt know, i'm french Canadian. I've learn some of it at school but much of it i've learned by buying 'The Source' magazine and 'XXL' magazine. I've read them no mather if i understood or not what was written, i knew that as time would go by, i would understand words that would make me understand other words that would make me understand sentences. Of course, i always liked to search into the dictionnary for complete definition. And then i started reading books, watching movies, and more i consumed english material, more i understood the language. But a language is not only about understanding it or being able to write it, you have to be able to express it verbally, and that's where i'm lacking skills since all my entourage are french Canadians just like me. There were a period of my life where i had a music studio with some friends and i was or could i say trying real hard to rap in english, i thought this could help me to develop verbal skills, it helped a little but it helped me more to realize that rapping was not my thing, most of my texts were good until i expressed them. So, i wanted to make a parallel with my studies of english and my studies of fitness. I've been studying fitness for years on my own, i think it's a very interesting subject to study and practice. I always created my own programs, and i keep learning about my mistakes and keep improving for the better. Now i create a new fitness program every two months. Here's the one i'm working with right now, i started it the 22nd of December 2012, i will end this one and make a new one around the 22nd of February 2013.I train at home. I will insert below the program a picture of myself i just took minutes ago with my old cellphone. As for the intellect training, eat books for breakfast; 10 pages minimum!...i mean read..  :)
