Just received my most recent fitness results, which I'm measuring over time via hydrostatic analysis, the gold standard and most accurate method for measuring body composition.
I'm publishing the results here, because a public commitment is a great motivational tool for staying on track to my goals.
In future posts, I'll talk more about how I accomplished these results, with some suggestions for how YOU might achieve similar results.
