When I started my diet and exercise plan 3 1/2 months ago. I had a Micro fitness evaluation done at my gym. The results were pretty grim. Today I had a 3 month re-test and just gotta share the rusults.
....................................... March 8th ... June 12th
Weight .............................. 296.5 ........... 273.1 ......... -23.4 -7.98%
Chest Skinfold ...................... 44.0 ............ 23.3 .......... -20.7 -47.0%
Abdomen Skinfold ................. 44.8 ............. 30.2 ........... -14.6 -32.6%
Thigh Skinfold ...................... 17.9 ............. 18.8 ........... +0.9 +5.0%
Body Fat ............................. 31.6 ............. 23.2 ........... -8.4%
Biceps Strength ..................... 64 ............... 100
Back Flexibility ....................... 19................. 35
Blood Pressure ....................... 126/85 ......... 112/76
Resting Heart Rate .................. 91 ............... 68
Aerobic Fitness ....................... 22.6 ............ 25.5
Total Fitness Score ..................25 ................ 56
Although I lost 23 pounds, if I did the math right I actually lost 30 lbs and gained 7 pounds of muscle. I'm also surprised that my aerobic fitness didn't increase more as I've been hitting the elipticle pretty hard 3-4 days a week.
Although I don't post much, I read this forum on a regular basis and have taken your advice and encouragement to heart.
OK.
Now back to work on getting more fit.
Cheers
