Back To The Fitness

I’ve decided to start going to the gym again. I think it’s about time I did too. I had my fitness test today.

The results were at the same time tragic and rather splendid. Odd huh?

My blood pressure is perfect, which is good. My body fat sits at 26%, which is bad. My general fitness level is above average, which is good. My weight is 102Kg which is bad. My resting heart rate is very low, which is good. Life’s a roller coaster, huh?

I also learned from my instructor the ideal, in body building terms at least, is that your biceps should be the same size as your calf muscles. In my case this would mean I could rip the head off a donkey. Suffice to say I’m not aiming for that.

As part of this ongoing health drive I’ve put up a new page. It’s a gallery of pictures of me and it’s going to run for a year. Hopefully we should see a fair amount of change.

    Thanks for the show of faith.

    I take the photos every day, I just don’t get a chance to upload them.

    You’ll see.

    My most ‘umble apologies, no offence intended.

    Sausage, sausage! Ahem, not a bit on the ‘fatty’ side?

  8. Mummykins | September 16th, 2008 | 7:31 pm

    Is it just me, or are we slipping a little on the 365 photos?

  9. Crackerwax | September 16th, 2008 | 11:56 pm

    Just how many days are there in September? (In your world).

  15. Crackerwax | October 9th, 2008 | 9:28 pm

    31 clearly! That’s what you get for doing two shots in one day and not looking at them for a week!

    Mong!
