Let's Get Dunked!

My friends at East Dallas CrossFit decided to throw a Spring Body Composition Challenge.

Challenge accepted!

The competition started Monday, March 17^th and will run for 8 weeks. There will be a pre and post-test for body composition via a mobile hydrostatic body fat testing clinic. The test will tell us several fun and possibly depressing facts:

·         Your fat and fat-free body mass, as percentages and in actual weight

·         How much fat you need to lose to achieve your desired body composition

·         How many calories you burn with and without exercising

My test was at 6:00 on Monday so I showed up ready to get dunked. I admittedly was nervous…who really wants to know how much body fat they truly have, not this girl!

After answering a few questions the technician explained what I needed to do exactly….basically you just take a deep breath and lay back in the water completely submerged and then blow ALL your air out. If you have ever been baptized, it’s basically the same thing minus the prayers.

After two dunks, I received my results. Ugh, talk about brutal honesty BUT in the long run it’s going to pay off cause I’M GOING TO WIN….ok, probably not but I will put in a good girl’s scout effort!

Wish me luck!
