Nearly 2 months into my more active lifestyle and it is about time I provided an update on some of the baseline stats I recorded when I started.
Weight: 17st10lbs (previously 19st0.6lbs)
BMI: 30.2 (32.5)
Running: able to run 3 miles at an average pace of 9 minutes per mile. (Previously 1 mile/9mins per mile)
Cycling: no road cycling undertaken since start of year.
Static Exercise Cycling: 5km in 11'56" (improvement on start of February, 5km in 12'38")
Swimming: no swimming undertaken since start of year.
In addition, working out at the Gym has enabled me to monitor my heart rate whilst exercising and this has shown that my heart rate decreases as it should (by around 25bpm in one minute after exercising) showing that my heart is fairly healthy.
I am really pleased with how things are going, especially as illness and my hectic schedule have prevented me from getting out as much as I might have liked.
I am writing this blog to promote an active lifestyle for the residents of West Norfolk. I will be posting updates on my progress throughout the year as I try to improve my fitness. I will also be using technology to track my progress and this will be posted on my twitter feed @Gary_McGuinness
