So I’ve been a Gym member for 2 weeks and 2 days now.
I’ve signed up a for some Personal Trainer sessions at the Gym as there is an offer on these at the moment. The offer is, If I visit the Gym 20 times in my first 8 weeks, I will get these sessions for free. I’ve already visited eight times in just over two weeks.
Part of this Person Trainer session is getting a health check. The health check was quiet interesting, it turns out I’m in ok shape at the moment. You remember on the last post when I said I was going to focusing on my Body Fat Percentage. My Body Fat Goal on 40 things to do before I’m 40 is to get my body fat down to 15%. I’ve been measuring Body Fat using my cheap little body fat reader I’ve got. When I started the diet it was just over 25%. The week before I started the Gym the little body fat reader said I was down to just over 20%. However when I got my Body Fat measured properly during a health check at the gym, it was measured at a meagre 15.5%, which was a massive surprise. So I’ve almost inadvertently hit my Body fat goal for 40 things already.
The plan now, is to start putting on more weigh and build a bit of muscle. Lets see how that goes…
That’s some awesome progress you’ve made. It’s a tricky balance putting on weight and increasing muscle. About that picture you posted… I would have to say 15% doesn’t look drastically different from 8%, pretty much toned muscles is what does it.
Cheers!
