Fitness assessment
It's been awhile since I've had a fitness assessment. The last times were in 2002 and 2004. So, here we are, about 10 years on from the first one. Let's compare today's results with history.
Today | 2004 | 2002 | |
---|---|---|---|
Weight (Kg) | 79.5 | 99.08 | 111.25 |

Of course, this is all age dependent.
So, my body fat is 17%. This is in the good range, but I'd like to loose another 10Kg. The trainer (Aimee) reckons that with the weight (muscle) I'll put on from training, I should only get a 5Kg reduction, and that—in combination—will take my fat down to about 10% (and apparently, we don't want to go much lower than that).
So, some interesting changes and improvements. Clearly running has had a good impact, but I've been neglecting some parts of my body.
I wonder what I might do about my shoulders.
