With William well on his way to his workout goal, and me lagging behind a bit, I decided to take it to the next step.\u00a0 I had a couple of assessments done at the gym to make sure I maximize my workouts and balance out my eating.\u00a0 I took two tests.\u00a0 The first one was an Anerobic Threshold Test.\u00a0 I bascially had to walk on a treadmill at varrying inclines and speeds with a mask that measured my oxygen output.\u00a0 Yesterday, after 12 hours of fasting, I took a Resting Metabolic Rate test that told me how many calories my body needs to function.\u00a0 This test required me sitting in a chair in a dark room for about 20 minutes while again breathing into a mask that measured my oxygen output.\u00a0 I was expecting for the trainer to tell me my metabolism was poor, but it was actually pretty good.\u00a0 I burn a lot more calories during the course of the day than I thought I did.\u00a0 So, the two tests have given me a good baseline on how to plan my exercises and my meals.\u00a0 I have a workout plan for the first couple weeks that consists of interval training in specific zones, and since I know how many calories I burn each day, I am planning my meals better so I can both make sure I get the nutrients I need and can loose a few pounds also.\u00a0 I need to learn to eat more meals during the day than just the typical breakfast, lunch and dinner…. something I already knew, but this only reinforced it.\u00a0 Anyway… the tests were intersting and I will seewhat kind of results I get from this new direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
