I met with a personal trainer today for a free fitness assessment. He teaches the circuit training class that I take on Wednesdays. The assessment consisted of a strength test, a flexibility test, measuring blood pressure, weight, and a body fat analysis.
The body fat analysis uses a machine that sends electric currents through your body. You are supposed to be well-hydrated to make it work well. I drank plenty of water last night and today and I thought I was ready for the results. The standard BMI calculators have put my body fat at 26% which puts me "just" over the 20-25"healthy" range. However, this electronic body fat analysis put my body fat at 28.7% which is just 1.3% away from OBESE!! So, I need to work harder here, people!
On a positive note, my strength is good (one bench press away from "excellent" - had to stop because my arms went numb). My flexibility is good but can be improved.
Now I need to figure out if I want to spend the $$ to have the trainer set up a program for me (of course this is the whole point of the "free" assessment).
And exercise:
Wed Mar 4 - circuit training
Fri Mar 6 - walked 1 mile in high heels on "date night" with Stephen
