Today I went for my Bod Pod assesment for the start of my Get Fit For Life course. I had a rough idea of my body fat (31% ish max 34% I guessed) so wasn't too worried. I know I have 2-3st to lose so anything she said wouldn't be a shock.
MAJOR mistake. HUGE understatement.
39.7% fat that's approx 30kg of fat or 66lbs of fat or 4.5st of fat
that's a lot by any stretch of the imagination.
the lady was very nice and said she sees a lot of peeps over 50% fat but it didn't help really.
The Facts:
It's a 15wk course after which the exercise will be repeated (includes taking 5 difference measurements too) and she would like to see me drop to near 30%
GOAL:
Drop by 5-10% getting as close to 30% as possible
This is a major shock, upset me actually as I was expecting up to 34% (knowing I am fat!) but 40% near as damn it
not nice
misserable pixie now who MUST do some hard work
I will get my info pack and stuff next week and will try to attend the 3 "lectures" which are exercise (includes the use of a gym ball to improve core posture), nutrician and then finally stress management.
40% - oh help :-(

The Facts:
- 23-30% <- fat level is acceptable for good health
- 31-40% fat is excess fat <- indicates an excess accumulation of fat over time!
- >40% risky/ high body fat
