Welcome to Week 2 of Justin Roethlingshoefer’s 30-day OWN IT challenge! This four-week fitness journal is about illustrating the impact of consistency and lifestyle on results. After purposely gaining 15 pounds, I took the opportunity to test the effectiveness of the OWN IT system. My personal coaching practice focused on creating lifelong, substantial change based on long-term habit formation.
As a reminder, here are my personal starting numbers:
- 187.2 lbs
- 231.75″ total body inches
- 12.3% body fat
And here are my numbers from Week 1 where I saw immediate improvement.
- 186.4 lbs
- 229.8″ total body inches
- 11.2% body fat
Finally, here are my numbers from Week 2 (Day 16) where I continued to see improvement.
- 185.7 lbs
- 228.1” total body inches
- 11.4 strain average
- 10.1% body fat
Of note during Week 2:
I showed an 11.8 strain average for the week which is up from the previous week.
My sleep total was down but all recovery scores stayed in green and yellow, no red. This is a major finding as so many of us say we need more sleep but in actuality, it is the quality of the sleep that matters. Figuring out how to get the optimal sleep environment and routine will help with the recovery numbers which are confirmed here.
My heart rate variability (HRV) increased by 4% on average. If you look at the recovery numbers, there were no red days, which indicates a recovery of 33% or below. Prior to this month, I would have one of those every 9 days on average. This is all while having the total amount of sleep time down as mentioned above!
