A Pleasant Fitness Surprise

Heavy but FitI re-joined my favorite gym last week and went for a fitness evaluation.  Much to my surprise, I’m not in as bad shape as I thought.

In addition to being “fit” except for my below average flexibility, the evaluation print out, said my body weight is “ideal.”  The evaluation actually said “Felicia, your body fat score is in the ‘Ideal’ category. No weight loss is recommended unless you want to change your appearance or improve athletic performance.”
