8-week GoodLife Challenge

So we've decided to have a bit of fun at work. Myself and the rest of the Management Trainees have each been assigned a personal trainer, and starting today we will begin an 8-week program with our trainers to help show the benefit of training.

So today myself and my trainer Liam had our first meeting, were Liam basically did a fitness assessment on me. This is something I really wish I had done before I began trying to lose weight because it was really cool.

Anyway, I've decided to post the stats from todays assessment:

Height: 5'5''
Weight: 217.6 lbs
Body fat: 33.9%
Resting blood pressure: 124/90
Resting heart rate: 72 bpm
Upper arm: 35.5 cm
Chest: 110.5 cm
Waist: 107.5 cm
Buttocks: 113.0 cm
Thigh: 67.0 cm
Calf: 41.0 cm

So after the assessment we decided that my main goal during the challenge will be to improve my body composition by losing 15 pounds of fat, and two improve my muscle mass by 6-8 pounds.

But besides for that the club is open and it is a world class facility. I've never been in a nicer club. Since we opened last week I've circuit trained twice, completed my first group cycling class (and that class kicked my ass hard), and a couple of days of cardio.

All in all, it's safe to say I'm back on track and can't wait till June when I finally graduate and can focus on performing well at my job and on running the marathon!
