It all fits together, it seems to me. Of course, I'm only barely beginning.

And now, I'm already semi-sidelined because my left knee seems to be inexplicably sore for two days. I haven't done anything drastic at all - pushups situps, some supported pull-ups, and short-distance runs (literally just 1/10th of a mile between every one or two exercises, no long-distance running), and I even ran mostly on earth rather than hard concrete.

I intend to do bodyweight and Paleo as my plan. So, if anyone else here has experience with bodyweight exercise as one's overall physical fitness plan, please chime in!
