Fitness Assessment results
Well the results are in and to be honest after 9 weeks of workout plus one week off not much has changed.
I feel different but it’s almost like because I’ve increased my mass somewhat everything else has followed in it’s wake. My fitness age still stands at 30 (which is good news being 34) but I can’t help thinking I wish I had done better.
My trainer today told me not to worry as I’m not in a cutting phase which I agree with, so this next cycle will be focused on 2 things:
1. Fix the strength
It’s been a while since I’ve seen significant change in the weights I’m lifting and I haven’t sen much growth in my chest. So this cycle it’s heavier weights and lower reps.
2. Try and reduce the body fat
This time I measured in at 19.4% That’s 0.4% higher than last time and I wasn’t happy. Granted I did take the assessment after having the week off which means my metabolism has been slowing down over the last week and to be honest I’m not surprised with that result. Next time fitness assessment comes before the week off.
Hey I’ve been told my BF% isn’t too bad. Ideally I’d like to be 15% and I thought it would be easier shifting that value down. But to be honest my eating habits (not my diet) have been a bit on the erratic side and I haven’t been sticking to a strict routine with my eating.
So after having my first boxing workout this morning I’ve decided 2 boxing session a week:
* Tuesday evenings for 30 minutes on my own
* Saturday mornings for about an hour with a class
This should give me the balance I need with and without a partner to workout with.
And that is one thing I’m beginning to realise - I’m going to have to start working out with a partner. That’s something I’m going to have to sort out!
Anyway, leg workout tonight (which should have been morning but boxing prevented the morning leg workout) and onto arms tomorrow.
