Professional Opinion

As a member of California Fitness, there are some perks that come along with it where there are Fitness Professionals (loosely known as FitPros) that comes by and teach u to use the machines, occasionally teaching u certain exercising techniques.

I had joined California since July 2006, and there is usually a yearly fitness assessment, that i did that day....

The good
I have successfully lost about 2.5 kg since joining the gym, has got my fat % reduced slightly.

The bad =(
I'm still kinda high in certain areas (okok, weight is still an impending issue!). Blood pressure is reducing slightly, and was told to get a doctor's opinion. I mean, totally demoralized already after doing all of that, and was told that my blood pressure reading is in the zone called Prehypertension. Haiz... made my workout totally feel so sian, though i lingered in the gym for more than 3 hours yesterday.

Just to give some information on the usual blood pressure reading. Usually it reads like this:

xx/yy

The first number (left side) is called the systolic pressure, it measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats.

The 2nd number (right side) is called the diastolic pressure, it measures the pressure in your arteries between beats.

Ok, this is a bit technical, even when i'm typing this, i'm also having some difficulty understanding totally what it is.

For your information, normal blood pressure is measured at 120/80. So this prehypertension is at approximately 120/80 to 139/89

So it's apparently that i fall under this category. I mean, i was 'cheated' by my family doctor (grrrrlll), i remembered the last time i went to visit him, it was like May 2006 (i didnt' visit any other doctor since), and he said that my BP is still quite ok, though i was concerned about it being on the high side.

So, i'm thinking of doing a body check soon. I don't wanna get what high BP or heart disease.

So frens, i'm sharing this, so that if u are on the high side of BP, get a professional opinion. Even if u have the most money in the world, but no health, is it worth it?

I'll.... do my best to get my opinion really soon.

Cheers to good health. Live your life to the fullest, in His glory!
