My new health club membership came with 2 sessions with a personal trainer. The first visit involved a little chat with the trainer, filling out a questionaire, weight, BMI, fat measurement and analysis of flexibility and of course my personal fitness goals. (Over the past few weeks I have been asked to write goals for work, health, finanacial, and now fitness.)
The weight part was fairly easy just stand on a scale. The BMI is a calculation that can be done manually or with the help the web site http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/.
The body fat analysis involved putting my hands on this little machine. I have no idea how it works. How can one measure fat content from holding a little machine for a few minutes?
The last section involved testing my flexibility and strength. I did pretty good for a boomer. He seemed to be pretty impressed that I could touch my toes and bend in most directions. I was quite reluctant to meet with the trainer but I came out of my comfort zone and put together a work-out program to meet my needs. Now I have fitness GOALS.
