This is officially going to be my fitness blog for me to track my progress. Hopefully it'll add a greater sense of accountability for me to reach my fitness goals.
A few of my fitness goals are :
1) To decrease my BMI by atleast two points by the end of the semester. Right now, I'm about 27, which puts me in the slightly overweight range and by losing 2 BMI points I will in the normal range. However, a quick caution with BMI - individuals with muscle have an increased BMI, and it makes them not look as healthy as they are. I have done a lot of resistance in the past, so that could be a reason for my seemingly too high BMI.
2) To run a 5K by the first week of December! Running has been one of the more difficult things for me, but I know it's so healthy. So let's see how it goes.
3) To take 2 inches off of my waist. In order to aid with this, I'm going to start eating a healthier diet and also do resistance training exercises, as well.
What I did this week:
1) I am in an aerobic conditioning class, so the majority of my aerobic conditioning of the week happened during the class. For the first day, we did twenty minutes of calisthenics. The second day we did fitness testing and did the Cooper Fitness Test, which is a 12 minute running fitness assessment. I ran about a mile, which I was super proud of.
I felt liberated knowing that I could at least run that much, and I cannot necessarily use the excuse that "I can't do it again."
2) Twice last week, I did weight training. Each time I did 15 minutes. t I performed were 3 sets of 12 reps on the deltoid, lower back, inner thigh, abdominal, oblique, biceps and triceps machines.
