I got good news and bad news!
Good news: I have been accepted to take part in a bone density study at the University of MO and I am in the weight resistance group (which is the group I was hoping to get). The study is for a year and as I mentioned in my previous post, they will provide a trainer, vitamins, calcium supplements and I'll get paid to participate. The resistance training consists of squats, military presses, lunges, calf raises, leg lifts, back raises, and a couple of others I can't remember at this time. I am looking forward to it.
Bad news: I have low bone density. :(
They provided me with a DXA scan to find my bone density level. Which also had my body fat percentage of 23.3%. I believe in three months, they will scan me again. My goal now is to reduce this percentage. According to the paperwork they sent me, a highly trained male endurance athlete is typically 5 to 15%. So my goal is 10%. Wish me luck!
