Body Scan and week 2 of F45

InBody 570 body composition scan gave me total score of 78/100 which i didn't find that awful. So the numbers were:

Weight: 84kg
Skeletal Muscle Mass: 30 kg
Body Fat: 36.5%
Body water ratio: 0.375
Basal Metabolic Rate:: 1524kcal

There's a suggestion of losing 14.7kg of fat which would bring me to target weight of 69.4kg. Other numbers show that i don't have to worry about osteoporosis and that my cells are nicely hydrated.

It did get my measurements in cm a bit wrong, probably due to bigger than average bust and smaller than average waist. For same reason I suspect the fat % is a little bit off but I don't really expect this body scan to be 100% correct. As long as it will show the progress at the end of week 8 challenge, it has done it's job.

Yesterday we also took pictures and I did not enjoy looking at those! Well, push hard in a gym and get better pics next time!

F45

Monday session in F45 was tough! 45 minutes of cardio, fast paced, most of the time felt dizzy. Tuesday and Thursday was more of a weight session which was great. Next class on Saturday which is 1 hr and should have cardio and weights in it.

I have really enjoyed the sessions and the studio is so close to home so I will stick with it for now. On Monday 8 week challenge starts, they provide the food plan and there's an option for body composition scan before and after the 8-week challenge. Not sure how accurate it is or anything but hopefully will show nice change in fat % and muscle mass. I don't care about winning it etc. just hoping it is a great kick-start towards my general health. I'm a bit scared to lose lots fast - don't want to end up with saggy skin.

Juicing has been good too. Every day 1-2 big glasses, no fruits usually in there so it doesn't spike blood sugars. To get fiber I prefer eating the fruit. This way it is also easier to control the portions. This morning had glass of orange juice with my brekky which was probably first fruit based juice this week.

So Sat checking out the session in gym and Sun body composition - it probably doesn't look too good so hopefully is not going to cause any set-backs mentally.

Before each class I have been quite nervous as i haven't been out there for a long time. Worried about meeting new people and that they are very fit, just being embarrassed of myself, or feeling out of place because the trainers are so young and fit etc. In reality the trainers are young and fit but they are very friendly and welcoming. Also there are other women just like myself huffing and puffing through the sessions. I am sure very soon I am really going to look forward to my sessions.
