Plan is to pick a target number of day to work out (I picked 3, but actually go in 6 times a week minimum) and a goal &#8211; either to lose weight or bodyfat %.  I am of the opinion that everyone would be trying to lose bodyfat, buty whatever.  I picked bodyfat, and measured at 19% for starters.  Not bad considering I was 33.5% about 2 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>My own goal was to lose 2% over that 8 weeks.  2% doesn&#8217;t sound like much, but it is when you are my age, and already working out pretty hard.  So I ramped it up.  More cardio, more intense, full body weightlifting.<\/p>\n<p>Results:  2.5% bodyfat lost (down to 16.5%), 3 pounds GAINED on the scale from 215 to 218.  What this means is that I lost about 8.5 pounds of fat, and gained 3 pounds of muscle.  Not too bad.  Next stop is 13% &#8211; where most people agree you can really start to see your abs.  <a title=\"Regularly posting since - whatever.\" href=\"http:\/\/davidgagne.net\" target=\"_blank\">David<\/a> and <a title=\"Phuking cool.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.whatdaphuk.com\" target=\"_blank\">Josh<\/a> are on track for the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Porter Valley started a contest about 8 weeks ago called &#8220;The Spring Shape Up&#8221; &#8211; so I entered.
