The survey results are in! Thanks for taking part. An overwhelming majority of you said that your two main expectations of this challenge are that you will become healthier and you will lose weight. What does becoming healthier mean to YOU? Is it based on how you feel or how you compare to the norm or . . . ? How do you measure this? Share your thoughts on the Discussion Board.
We have a recommendation for you: determine and write down your baseline numbers in order to determine your level of health and your progress. What is your weight, body fat percentage, blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride level, waist-to-hip ratio, flexibility level, cardiovascular capacity, strength, and balance capacity?
The good news is that 65% of you know your blood pressure and 38% of you responded that you are at a healthy weight; however, most of you don’t know your baseline fitness levels. Only 21% of you know your waist-to-hip ratio, but the good news is that this measurement, along with most of the others, can be taken yourself. Don’t forget to refer to your week 1 newsletter, Assessing Your Baseline, for help and visit the E-learning course titled “Fitness Assessment” found within the Library tab.
Many of you responded that you are looking for a lot of encouragement and support from your team. The Discussion Board is the perfect tool for you to communicate and support each other. Look for our WOW Challenge blog every Wednesday.
