how do you figure out your body fat???
I did a bmi test & it was like 25 (I think??) is that the same??
keep up the good work... now that you have me to inspire (sorry for the pressure  )!!!! |
I'm blessed to have a lot of support through my employer (Raytheon). For one, there's an on-site fitness center with a couple of certified trainers; they have a hand-held device that, once programmed with an individual's height/weight/and maybe age, sends some kind of signal through the person's body (it's held by both hands at about chest height for just a minute or so) that allows it to determine the body's fat, muscle and bone composition.
Just an FYI, the trainers don't like the BMI usage, due to its inaccuracy, and actually asked me to stop tracking it. Weight, inches and body fat are your best measurements.
Lay that pressure on!! LOL! I went to the gym today as scheduled and did my thing; lats, shoulders, back, triceps, biceps and abs. *whew* I've got a nice little burn going on, in my arms especially!
A random piece of info: I love the lat pulldown. There's just something about that exercise that really feels good. I'm up to 45 pounds, ten reps, 3 sets. (sshhhh, don't tell my trainer - she thinks I'm still at 35 lbs, 8 reps, 2 sets! LOL!)
