The slow kind.

Hi PM!

I started doing 15 minutes of cardio only...because any more just about killed me. After a couple of months i was able to build up to 45 minutes of cardio, including some bodyweight exercises. More recently, i started getting a little more serious and am going to the gym (off there in a minute actually).

So,i have lost some weight and put some back on again. Off with the fat and on with the muscle(a little bit anyway). Before i stopped losing weight i had already lost 10 kg. I have since put 2kg back on again - hopefully mostly lean body mass.

I started with a body fat % of around 19%. I am now around 8%. My FFMI(free fat muscle index) is 20.7

My cardiovascular fitness has improved out of sight, and i have stacks more energy. Is that the kind of progress that you mean? Gotta run for gym now....never thought i would hear myself saying that!
