Out of Shape

My first training session at Fitness Factory today!

Corinna (my trainer) had me get my body composition analysis done by a machine, and it came as no surprise that I'm underweight, malnourished, and altogether in need of a drastic change in diet and exercise habits.

I might have osteopenia, a condition where bone mineral density is lower than normal, so I'll be needing a lot more calcium. And my muscular mass is vastly inadequate as well, so I'll be needing more protein and weight training. One thing I'll be needing to cut down on is fat -- because right now, I have 10.7 kg (?!) of fat on my 55.1 kg body! Figure I'll need about a year to get back in shape.

For the remainder of the hour, Corinna had me go through 15 minutes on an elliptical trainer, and then we did some stretching exercises. Exhausted already!

Next session Thursday. :)
