NSV - results of my first assesment with a personal trainer!

patssarah

It has been about 4 months since I started my new lifestyle, and I have never had any type of assesment done. I have been doing everything at home, running, weights, and we finally broke down and purchased a gym membership and it included a free 1 hr. assesment thing with a trainer. I was so nervous, because I have no clue what I have bene doing, and if its correct, or what type of progress Ive made besides lost inches and pounds.

I have one of those fancy digital scales here at home that shows body fat %. It fluctuates everyday between 21-26% And my biggest goal was finding out how to get that lowered to anything below 20%.
Well today, the trainer did a fat test with those white pinchers! (calipers I think) and my body fat is 15.4%!!!!!!!!
I thought she did it wrong!!! She said, I was already in really good shape!!!
I am so proud of myself!! I try to make healthy choices, and I feel like I do make really healthy choices about 75-80% of the time, but I still really wasnt sure if I am really as healthy as I think I am. Turns out I am HEALTHIER than I thought!!!
And my body age is 5 years younger than my real age! She said usually people's bodies are older than their real age!!!
Just had to share my excitement somewhere!!! I was so concerned I would get depressed after meeting with her, but I am on cloud 9!!!!!!!!!

What a nice surprise! And look at those muscles in your profile pic.....you look awesome! And you did all that from home? That is really impressive. I would like to know what you did. I haven't hit any strength training yet because I have no clue where to start or what to start with.

Thank you!!
I really had no clue where to start either! I started with Jillian Michaels 30day shred, and then after 15 days quit! But I used some of her moves that I liked. For my regular routine I do dips, pushups,plank poses, different moves with handweights to hit all the muscle groups, lunges, squats, (not all in one day, I split them up and do 3-4 days strength) and my trainer showed me what machines to use at the gym that are the best and showed me how to do them with proper form.
