Healthy Living 101

[Vegas69]

Lance, the results of your lifestyle change speak for themselves! The blood results and now your ideal body fat results. Personally, I think 13% body fat is ideal for a healthy male adult that wishes to maintain their lifestyle and feel well. If you get much below that, the dietary restrictions will be a challenge and it won't be much fun. Sure, you can start to see your abs at 10%, but it's not sustainable long term in my mind.

Just keep in mind that if you want to build muscle, you will need to add calories into your diet. Personally, I like to set some goals when I chase fitness. Run in X time, squat X amount, ring muscle up, etc... It keeps you focused in the gym and feeling like you are progressing.

I'm on a two month sabattical with over 3 weeks of travel and I just had a minor surgery which has sidelined me. Fitness has become such a ritual for me that I miss it immediately. I know that when I'm eating well and fit, it cascades into every area of my life and helps me be at my best. I look forward to getting back after it!!!!! Great job, man!
