Some Baselining

Tim says i'll be sorry if I don't get some baselines down before I start this. I believe Tim. Without further ado...

Weight this morning - 196.8 lbs
Body fat % (by bio impedance) - 25.5%

4HB Total Inches - 152
Biceps - 14
Stomach - 41
Hips - 41
Thighs - 21

I also measured chest - 41
(I am apparently a rectangle)

I'm not really sure what my goals are yet, but hopefully we can get some inverted triangle action happening.

Workout

25 mins run/walk intervals. 6.0-6.5/3.0-3.5 mph. Peak HR 165. Calories burned according to iPod about 250.

Half-hearted core, shoulders, biceps because I'm still a little sore from Wednesday.

Post The First

I've decided to document some of my adventures in body hacking and what better way to do it than in what the kids call a "blog".

Two days ago, I downloaded Tim Ferriss's 4 Hour Body to my iPad. I read, according to his instructions, the sections that most interested me. In my case, mostly nutrition and some strength conditioning stuff.

I put some of the tips into action right away. In 48 hours, I've lost 2.5 lbs. A good start, but only a fraction of what I want to do. So, stay tuned and we'll see where this ends up.
