Notes:

Week 1 was about understanding my current state and logging starting point for a number of health markers. Weight, RHR, strength, and cardio fitness are being measured through means that are easily accessible to me. Weight and RHR through conventional measurement devices. Strength through my deadlift and squat numbers. Cardio Fitness through my rowing times.

Traditionally, this type of body recomposition is measured by body fat and muscle percentages. I'd rather think about my recomp in terms of functional numbers aligned to my athletic goals. It's important to me that throughout this journey, I reduce fat while losing minimal strength and improving my cardiovascular system.
