Results Day - Week 10: it was no fluke!

Another week, another check in...

10 weeks of using feedback to determine my success, feedback (in the form of measurement) is so important in the journey and without it you just don't know where you are.

The data:
Weight: 92.2kg down 1.3kg from last week
Body Fat: 8.6% - SMASHED IT! down 1.1% from last week
Waist: 84-88cm - 1cm dropped from "guts out" measure
Muscle: 80.2kg - steady

I checked in with the heart rate monitors "OwnIndex" as well, a VO2 Max equivalent on Polar watches put me at 53... "elite", ha!

So, now it is time to look at the regime and make sure I don't plateau: the human body is a magical thing, muscle memory and adaptation to name but two wonderful capabilities of the body.

More resistance training, but changing the weights and the types of exercises. A change to the cardio routine too, mix it up a bit, less time on the bike and get some other multi-limb programmes into the schedule. Bring in the Swiss Ball and the BOSU to challenge the core and the next 10 weeks may just be positive results laden.

As always, make sure you are having fun. The first part of the weight loss journey is understanding that you WILL feel so much better, even with the hard work, the sweat and the aches and pains that come with the exercise territory, in weeks to come.

Want to get to the gym but you are worried about what other people think? All those fit people with good body's... a high proportion of them were probably just like you at the beginning of their journey, they don't care about you and if you look unfit. They DO care that you are now trying to change and that you ARE making the effort. Go on, take the first step to a new you and find what it is like to be fit, healthy and full of life.

Cheers, and have a good week,
