Gym: 20/08/07
OK, so first visit which meant I was taking it easy as I get back into the whole exercise thing. I also need to strengthen my fingers. I have a very powerful breaststroke stroke (I am actually a bloody good swimmer, even if I do say so myself) so my fingers are facing a lot of resistance against the water. It was only 150 meters before they started to ache. You’d think they’d be stronger with the amount of typing I do. Plan is to increase the amount done by half a kilometer/5 lengths per week (well, 4 then 6 so I can get out the side the changing room is on 
). Not sure what I’ll stop at, depends on time, but possibly something like 2km on the cross trainer, 10km on the bike and 100 lengths in the pool, or whatever I can fit into about 2 hours. So, currently we stand at:
Cross Trainer: 0.5km
Bike: 3km
Pool: 30 lengths (540m)
And, just to prove this is doing me good:
Weight: 85.9Kg
Body Fat: 23%
Body Water: 56.2%
Basal Metabolic Rate: 1938 Calories
Muscle Mass: 41%
Hopefully these numbers will move in the relevant directions (and no, I don’t know why I’m 120.2% fat, water and muscle 
).
So what’s 85.9Kg in real money? My brain seems to have given up on metric for people weights since I left the UK.
(Yes I could google, but…)
Erm.. 13.5 stone - I set my scales to Kg because otherwise it would upset me. I need to loose 1.5 stone
