The 45 Day Fitness Challange

December 18th, 2009 | By customizedworkoutplans

Just yesterday all the details were finalized.  Many would consider this event “a match-up for the ages”.  Two trainers took the plunge and challenged each other to a 45 day body fat reduction challenge.  However the contenders share very different body types.  Joey, who is rather lean, would have a distinct disadvantage from Kenny, large and muscular.  To even the playing field, we have decided to use, the percentage, of total body fat percentage as the determining factor.  On Wednesday, December 16, a 7 site skinfold test was used to measure body fat.  These measurement sites include: chest, subscapula, axilla, tricep, suprailliac, abdomen, and thigh.

Contender: Kenny

Statistics: 250 lbs (24.16% body fat)

a

Challenger: Joey

Statistics: 181 lbs (7.2% body fat)

It’s on like Donkey Kong!  Come February, we will crown our winner with the help of our visitors.  We will follow Kenny and Joey throughout their 45 day fitness challenge journey.  Stay tuned to observe the progress, workout routines, and eating habits each body fat slasher.  And before you go… we want to ask, “Who do you think will be crowned 45 day fitness challenge winner?”
