I have worked hard! Darn hard over the past 6 months. Sweating buckets and climbing the stair way to heaven on the stair master, jogging to the ends of the earth, tread millin somewhere. I got my results from my 6 month test. Drum roll please.....
My VO2 at the beginning of the study was at 27.5 and it is now at 31.4. I have gone up. It is so hard to tell how you are doing with out the 6 month test. No more tests until the end of the program now. I hear that is more difficult to improve much after this point so that is probably why there isn't another test until the end.
This week I feel like a guinea pig. I have two devices monitoring my every move. I have the activyPAL3 glued to my right front thigh and I have an accelerometer strapped to my waist. Who knows what this will tell. I have to wear them both for 7 full days but you take them off when you go to bed at night or into water but that's the only time.
Back to my regular program at the gym again. Not sure if I want to put any to my program but I might decide to practice for my 12 month test. I think I might have to start now and do a bit every week. That's really only 24 weeks. Not sure as I really don't like the treadmill at all. Time will tell if I can psyche myself out enough to do it.
Well done for getting to 6 months already...I've just started my third week! I'm enjoying hearing about your journey through the BETA-trial...thanks for sharing! Best of luck as you work towards the end of your year!
