Day 1 of my fitness journey
Day 1 so time for my weigh in and measure
.
The scientist in me wanted to record my baseline body measurements so if my weight loss plateaus I can hopefully stay motivated with some recordable inch losses.
I chose 9 points to measure on my body which I’ve shown on my photos. Point A is at my biceps and point B across my chest. I’m never sure exactly where to measure for hips and waist so I’m going to measure at the thinnest part of my waist (D), level with my navel (C), across hip bone (E) and widest part of my bum (F). The final points are the widest part of my thighs (G), above my knees (H) and across my calves (J).
I’m also interested in measuring my improvement in fitness not just changes in weight and body inches, so I am also measuring my resting heart rate.
- A Bicep 11 1/4 inches (L) 11 1/4 inches (R)
- B Chest 36 1/2 inches
- C Navel 31 inches
- D Waist 28 3/4 inches
- E Hips 35 1/4 inches
- F Bum 39 inches
- G Thigh 23 3/4 inches (L) 23 3/4 inches (R)
- H Knee 19 inches (L) 19 inches (R)
- J Calf 15 inches (L) 15 1/4 inches (R)
- Weight 9 St 10lb (136lbs)
- Height 5 ft 2
- Body Mass Index (BMI) 24.9
- Resting Heart Rate 63 beats per minute (BPM)
Looking at these measurements I’m a bit concerned that my BMI is so close to being overweight and my waist and bum definitely could lose some inches. But my priority is to concentrate with strengthening my right leg so I can move on to more intensive cardiovascular and endurance training.
Hopefully we’ll see some changes in these numbers next few weeks.
