Knowing How To Track Your Workouts Is The Best Method To Improve

By Tony Gates

Most people don't know how to track their training program of haven't even thought of it. The point to tracking what you do is to assure yourself that what you are doing is working effectively. It doesn't matter how efficient you are, it matters how effectively you are. Efficiency can mean that you do the same workout every day; that can be a good thing and a bad thing. Effectiveness means that what you are doing is actually working towards your goal. Why waste time not knowing if your time is worth it? It's not, unless you record progress.

These are some of the things you will definitely want to track if you are serious about effective work outs.

Weight - Weighing your self on a regular basis, let's say once or twice a week is good. Make sure you are on a flat ground level. The best time to weigh yourself is in the morning when you first wake up since that is the time when you haven't ate anything yet but do it after you've urinated.

Body Fat Percentage - Losing body fat is very critical considering that's what you are trying do. You want to gain muscle and replace that fat. This equipment to measure the body fat can be purchased at stores near you.

Lean Body Mass - What this mean is what your body is really made of. How much fat and muscle your body consist of. Remember, the goal is more muscle.

Measuring The Body - To measure the parts on the body is to seek for progress. If quadriceps are what you been working hard on, take out a flexible measurement and measure it. It can be anything that you want to measure but make sure you remember to record the progress.

Recording Photos - Photos might not seem like it's a big concern in body building. That's okay, the main goal we're after here is precise recording of progress. This is not to know how healthy you are, it's so you can smile when you see how fat you were to how good looking you are now! - 29951
