the "Fitness Test"
Going to the gym and working out is something I use to love doing. I'm not sure what happened my senior year in college, but I just got so super lazy. I ate way too much steak and laid around way too much. Apparently running basketball games didn't help seeing as how, I usually just trotted along.
Well, I was signed up to take a "Fitness Test" at 24 Hour Fitness. I was a little bit nervous b/c I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew they were going to measure my body fat, etc. etc.... And that just sounds disgusting (despite the fact that I like pudge).
In any case, Lindsay is the woman who measured me. She use to be a body builder :D I sat down with her, and she asked me some questions. I told her I played competitive sports in high school and was very active with intramural throughout college. She was impressed! (haha, she hasn't seen me play). She was also impressed that I went to the gym after work and attempted to keep myself in shape. It was now time for her to measure my body fat. Needless to say she was shocked to find the amount of body fat on me. (It's not off the charts. I'm actually on average). However, she did say that since I was only 22 and was so active in the past, she wanted to see me reduce my body fat about 5%. (Note: the most fat found on my body was in my triceps... I attribute that to my inability to do a kick back using a 5 lb. weight. AND in my food baby that I've been able to trim much of it off since coming back to Houston).
She also had me do a squat test. When I finished, she proceeded to tell me that all my muscles were tight. (In my head, I'm thinking... awesome... my muscles are tight). Unfortunately, she said that was bad. Because I sit at a desk all day and wear heels, it doesn't help out my case.
Since, I live in Houston she told me to talk to a trainer at the club I go to so he/she could assist me with my "targets." I told her I didn't really have time for all of that, so I asked her what she recommended for me in light of my "problems." Her response:
"Girl, you need to stretch. STRETCH STRETCH STRETCH (yes Miss Jenny I remember when you use to make me stretch, and I hated it!). AND you need to FIRE YOUR GLOOTS." So, I will now attempt to stretch more and fire my gloots. And I suppose toughen up my triceps and food baby :D
