New training regime

Basically I'm trying to compile a good training regime for myself. Im 5'9 and slim, not much muscle but I'm stronger than most of my mates. I am however extremely fast.

So i want to improve my strength for ops and other purposes. I want to get my whole body up to a reasonable strength. So far this is what i've got.

5x20 Ab Crunches
2x Flutter kicks until my body cuts out.
100x pushups
100x raised pushups
4x20 tiger pushups
4x50 neck nods
2x20 pull-ups
2x20 chin-ups

So I'm going for core strength at first but I need something for my lower back (preferably body-weight). And please give advice on the above regime. Also could anyone recommend some good speed/agility/flexibility training aswell as I want to maintain my current levels in those.

For lower back do back crunches.

Lie on your stomach and lift your upper torso of the ground. Have a hand on your back at first so you can judhe what point your back tenses.

I agree you can shred yourself just by doing pull-ups. They are probably the best thing for your body besides running.

If you do only one thing and you have access to a large body of water, SWIM. It'll work everything, strength, agility, endurance all that.

THIS. Running takes more energy, but you get just the same results from swimming. I Don't know why I didn't think of that. Swimming is the best thing for you.
