Health Benefits

Had a really great start to my day. I had another Health MOT at my gym.
The results are below. The black numbers = 4/3/12; pink = 10/6/12; green = 18/10/12.


Hip to Waist ratio = 0.90   0.82   0.75
Aerobic fitness = 30   39   56
Resting heartbeat = 56   55   69
Cholesterol = 4.55   4.83   4.63
Blood Glucose = 5   5   2
Health score = 58   69   85 (out of 100. The higher the better)

Weight loss = 26lbs   20lbs (weight lost between MOTs)
Blood pressure = 137/88   126/76   128/82
TOTAL BMI reduced by 7.7 points

I'm really pleased with my results for aerobic fitness, hip to waist ratio, glucose levels & health score. I was actually not expecting the results to be this good. I've been feeling a bit unmotivated recently but this has really made realise what a difference I have made to my health, and helped give me the kick I needed. It's not just about wanting to look slimmer now (although still pretty high on the agenda), but about improving my health even more. I want to be around for a long time to watch my son grow up and enjoy many many more healthy & happy years with my husband. 

I wonder how many years I have added to my life?
