I began my P90x program on Sept 20 and my goal was to lose weight and tone. I'm down to 123 lbs and after doing some research I think I need to re-examine my goals. Yes I want to tone and sculpt my muscles but, do I want to keep losing weight? Or Do I need to REDUCE my body fat percent? New GOAL….
REDUCE BODY FAT.
I look skinny enough but still I have fat around my waist and my abs still not showing. Not that I'm looking to have a SIX PACK but Yes I want a flat midsection. Who doesn't?
Maybe at this point you might be thinking, what is body fat and what it tells me? How I lower it? Well, body fat is a combination of essential body fat and storage body fat. Essential body fat is necessary to maintain life and reproductive functions and storage body fat is fat accumulation in adipose tissue. Some people just like me are in a healthy weight but body fat still a little bit high. So the goal is to maintain weight but reduce body fat because if you keep up losing weight you might be eating away muscle instead of getting rid of fat and you'll end up at an unhealthy weight. And you may ask but how???? Well you need to build muscle, which means strength training at least two days a week (muscle burn calories), do cardio and clean your diet. And by this I mean eat good healthy food not eliminating completely fat from your diet because believe or not your body need it
When assessing your fitness goals not only considers weight also consider body fat percent and body measurements. And be realistic about it…you want to be LEAN and look HEALTHY opposed to skinny and UNHEALTHY.
OK … Goal set and the program to get there…P90X.
