Circumference Measurements

My coach has officially started giving me workouts, it's a whole new world for me where everything is based on heart rate.  It is ironic that I have given my personal training clients heart rate based workouts for years, but I have done all of my racing "by feel."



I forgot to include my resting heart rate (RHR) and circumference measurements in my introductory post:

RHR-65 *As you can see, I am OUT of shape!  

Measurements:
Chest:  32.5"
Bicep:  10.25"
Waist:  26.5"
Hips:  34.5"
Quadricep:  19.5"
Calf:  12.5"



My predictions for my measurements are a decrease in: chest, bicep and waist.  Increase in: quadricep and calf.  I believe my hips will first get bigger then smaller-biking more will increase my glute size, then running more will provide a break-even.  Of course, I am getting older; therefore, my theory could be erroneous ;).

I will post my next update in about 3 weeks; that will give about enough time for the workouts to start to affect my RHR and maybe a measurement or two.
