Hello reader,
We are approaching the end of the year and soon you would be creating fitness goals for 2023; considering you haven’t already started 😉
When it comes to goals, we usually associate goals with numbers. For example, a fitness goal might look like ‘I will lose X kgs per month next year.
Our fitness progress is linked to our fitness goals and thus we end up tracking our fitness progress in terms of such numbers as well.
So, today, I will walk you through some accurate ways of tracking your fitness progress:
Taking Measurements
Take body part measurements such as chest, waist, hip, forearm, and quads either in inches or cm once a week or 10 days. Changes in these parts will show a decrease in body fat, which is the real measurement of losing weight.
Track your Activity (Count your Steps)
Keeping a track of your daily physical activity along with a planned exercise routine. For example, you can count your daily steps (recommended average number of steps per day ~7000 to 10000 steps).
Fit in your Old Clothes
As a person loses body fat, even if there is no difference in the weighing scale, the way clothes fit also can also indicate progress.
Strength and Fatigue levels
If there’s an increase in strength levels with adherence to the daily exercise routine, you are in the right direction.
Keep these factors in mind while tracking your fitness levels.
