Hey! I was hoping to meet some fit friends and hopefully gain some of your collective insights. My goal is to shave down to maybe 116.5lbs and hopefully get a body composition scale for a general idea of my other measurements ( BFM, ‘cause meh, why not).
One question I have is: how do you determine your fitness level? I’m hemming and hawing between
“active” and “very active”. I work at a hospital as supportive staff and walk roughly 5-6 miles over the course of a 12 hour shift while aiding patients with their daily tasks, 3x a week which I largely consider my active recovery days. My workout plan is as follows below with my current measurements taken earlier today!
MEASUREMENTS
Weight: 121.9 lbs (nearly four weeks in and I’ve lost two pounds and no loss of strength/energy. Yay! )
Waist: 27 in
Hips: 34 in
Thighs: 23 inch
WORKOUT
Training Day 1: Strength Training (Squats and Legs); Athleticism (Sprints and Hill Work)
Training Day 2: Strength (Push Muscles); WOD
Training Day 3: Endurance (Long Run)
Training Day 4: Strength (Pull Muscles); WOD
P.S. The strength training isn’t new. I’ve recently added runs and WODs (mostly AMRAPs) to make up for the utter lack of cardio training. Hoping to change my goals next year to add BJJ and a Spartan Sprint. So, right now, I have my goals set to lose a lb per week since I have no other active goal for the remainder of the year, and I've thus lost a half lb a week which I'm happy for nonetheless!
Anyway, nice to meet everyone!
Thanks and much obliged!
