I'm sure you've seen a zillion "day 1" posts, but this one is like no other. It's really make or break for me for personal reasons and I am keeping myself completely accountable.
I am setting myself a 10-week challenge to test my fitness to the max. Today is day 1.
My goal is to burn at least at a physical activity level (PAL) of 1.725 which a moderately active level multiplier. For me at my basal metabolic rate (BMR), this equates to buring roughly 1,052 calories each day. Sorry for all the jargon.
I wear a smart watch daily, which is a handy gadget for tracking.
I plan to go to the gym or get an intensive workout at least 5 days a week. This is on top of daily exercise (at the very least walking 10K steps a day), with workouts focusing on cardio HIIT, dotted with steady pace distance runs and some light resistance training.
I will also do three DEXA scans so I can compare my progress and composition.
Needless to say, I will to ensure diet (sticking to my daily calorie limit), hydration and sleep (aiming for 8 hours) are also the priority, as these all go hand in hand with any fitness and weight loss plan.
My goals are to reduce body fat percentage and cardio fitness.
Here are my starting stats and weigh-in. Keeping myself accountable. Here we go! Appreciate any support. Stay tuned folks!
