Good luck, Morgan.
:10:02
Hi, there. I'm Eric Rowley,
our exercise physiologist.
:10:05
Great.
:10:06
Rowley:
the official weigh-in...
:10:11
1851/2.
:10:13
We'll go through
the cardiovascular assessment,
:10:15
and then I'll be able
to calculate
:10:18
how much oxygen
your muscles can utilize,
:10:20
and that's also an indicator
:10:21
of what type of condition your
cardiovascular system is in.
:10:24
All right, good work.
:10:27
Im gonna use
these skinfold calipers
:10:30
to estimate
your body density.
:10:32
You're 11% body fat.
that's great.
:10:34
We're gonna
measure your flexibility
:10:36
of your hamstrings, your hips,
and your lower back.
:10:38
Good, good.
very nice.
:10:40
38 centimeters
was your best.
:10:42
There's a basic
old-school test
:10:45
for muscular strength
and endurance.
:10:47
36. Good job.
:10:48
You're above average
:10:50
above average fitness
for your age group,
:10:52
definitely, I'd say
you're at a good spot right now.
:10:55
More than 60% of Americans
get no form of exercise,
:10:58
so for the next 30 days,
neither will I.
:11:01
But I'll still have to walk.
:11:03
How much does the average
American walk a day?
:11:06
We have these pedometers
that we put on people,
:11:08
step counters.
:11:09
You could very roughly
estimate at about 2,000 steps,
:11:12
because 2,000
would make a mile.
:11:13
And we know that people
that work in office settings,
:11:16
who drive a car
to and from work,
:11:18
who take an elevator
up to that office,
:11:20
may take as little
as 2,500 or 3,000 steps
:11:23
in their entire day.
:11:24
If you wanted to feel physically
like a lot of Americans do,
:11:27
then you'd limit yourself
to about 5,000 steps a day.
:11:30
Us New Yorkers --
we walk everywhere.
:11:34
We walk to work,
to the park, to the store.
:11:36
Most of us don't even own cars.
:11:38
The average New Yorker will walk
four to five miles a day --
:11:41
a day!
:11:42
That's a lot of walking.
:11:44
Ill also have the blessing
of being close to a food source
:11:47
almost everywhere I go.
:11:48
I walk past three golden arches
just on my way to the office --
:11:51
three in just over a mile.
:11:53
There are more Mickey D's
in Manhattan
:11:56
than anywhere else in the world.
:11:58
This tiny little island
is less than 13 miles long
