Another fitness assessment
I had another fitness assessment at the university's Recreation- Centre today. Here are the results.
Overall, my weight loss has plateaued but I'm definitely fitter. I think I need to adjust my diet somewhat. It'll be interesting to see what the doctor says next. Most-interestingly-was how poorly I did on the sit ups—my boxing training has done a lot to improve on my "abs' but it didn't show on today's test. I'll have to think about that (is it the test itself?).
Anyway, the results were:

Weight | 99.08 | No change |
Height | 176 | I've grown … nearly 3 cm |
Blood pressure | Not done | |
Resting-pulse rate | 60 beats/minute | That's an-improvement … |
it's down from 70 bpm | ||
Body composition | ||
Triceps | 24mm | Same |
Subscapular | 37mm | Same |
Suprapsinal | 26mm | Big drop from 41mm. So, I'm losing fat |
from somewhere. Maybe it's getting converted | ||
Medial calf | 27mm | Same |
Sum of skin folds | 114mm | Down |
Hip to waist | 0.92 | Was 1.02—I'm now in the moderate group. |

Estimated-VO2-Max | 33 | Better. The fair range is 31—39 |
Flexibility | ||
Sit-&-reach | Very good | |
Thomas test | Left quad a little tighter | |
than the right, hip flexors good | ||
Shoulder-assessment | Okay | |
Strength | ||
Push ups | 19 | Well that is over double, but not quite |
in the "good' range (21—30) | ||
Sit ups | 9 | Fair … argh! I've been working hard |
and I expected more |
Of course, this is all age dependent.
