I'm so glad I took the time to do a body age assessment and speak with her a little while. It really helped me to understand more about my body and fitness in general. She told me I was on the right track, but since I've hit that plateau she gave me some things to consider that will push me right through it.
My body age is 27. I'm 29. My fitness goals will put me at a body age of 18 once I meet them. ![]() ![]() ![]() She said I should be able to meet my goals in 10 weeks. I will have another assessment in 12 weeks. I'm looking forward to that. I can't wait to see how much I've improved by then. |

You can do it, Naomi. I was the most inactive person out there. I'm sure of it. I didn't play sports in school and I was really clueless entering in to all this. It took awhile to get where I'm at, but I've only been working out for 9 months and I've come so far. I'm way past the point of having to make myself go to the gym everyday. I actually look forward to my workouts every morning. It's always a challenge no matter what I try to do and I love a challenge. ![]() You have to start somewhere. Everyone does. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I wish I could find the time to do regular workouts. I try to fit things in here and there. I would love to go to a personal trainer just to get assesed ( which would be embarrising) and get a workout routine so when I do have time I can do it on my own. I am so happy for you it sounds like it is going very well for you. Keep up the good work.

Where do I sign up? ![]() That is awesome Aimee, your excitement really does make me think of getting my tail to a gym too. Doesn't mean I'll do it, but to even consider it is big for me! You're doing so great, you must be very proud of yourself, and should be! ![]() |

That is awesome Aimee! Sounds like you were already doing a lot of things right.
I learned a lot from our trainer too, even though he didn't go into as much detail as the trainer you met with. I think the target heartrate is key... I feel so much better when I work out now. I used to get so light headed and feel bad afterwards, but after meeting with the trainer, I get that "work-out high" that everyone was talking about. I just want to say thank you to you and some of the others here that motivated me to start working out. You've really changed my outlook and gave me that extra push I needed. ![]() -------------------- |

All of the machines that we use have the heartrate monitor so I don't have to get one separately. Plus, you can calculate your pulse and go by your pulse rate. Just take your pulse and for 10 minutes and multiply by 6. I prefer to use the monitors because they are more accurate and I don't have to figure anything out. ![]() -------------------- |
