Fat Free Contributing Factors

Because of the many comparisons to make, and standards to set, I've listed below all of the contributing factors to my Fat Free Challenge.

From the Marine Corps Weight Chart (Females)
Height: 65 inches
Maximum Weight: 150
Minimum Weight: 114

Body Fat Standards (Maximum), Age 27-39: 27%

No, I'm not a Marine. No, I will never become a Marine. But aren't they the best of the best (in many people's minds)?

From the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test Chart (Females)
Flexed Arm Hang: 15 seconds, minimum
Crunches (2 minutes): 40, minimum
3-Mile Run: 32:00, minimum

There is also a point system, but again, since I am not planning on becoming a Marine, I will just use these basic minimums as factors in my final standards.

According to Sport Fitness Advisor, there is a range of standards for body fat percentages. The only sports I've played in the last year are racquetball, rugby, and running (it's been an R year), and according to the chart, I should be in the 15-22% (racquetball).

The Body Mass Index is pretty much the bane of my existence. A normal BMI is 18.5-24.9. An overweight BMI is 25-29.9, and obese is 30 and over. According to the official BMI chart, for my height of 65 inches, I need to weigh less than 150 pounds.

And finally, CrossFit's workouts. I am not sure if I will be a "big dawg" by then (the term they give to individuals who complete the workout of the day as prescribed), so to be "safe," I'm going to choose five workouts that they use for benchmarking and competition (descriptions to follow): Angie, Annie, Cindy, Nicole, and the first workout I ever saw on their site, Murph.

I will post my "Final Standards" next, and, again, my current statistics on September 19.
