What is the best way to record your training progress?

Recording your training progress is very important. There are many ways that help you track your fitness progress and you can find the one that suits you the most. In this article, we will try to understand why it is important to track your fitness progress, the best ways to do so, and how to do it with StepChain.

The importance of tracking your fitness progress:

1- Helps you reach your goal and maybe get past it.

2- Helps you make your workouts and time more efficient.

3- Gives you and your goals accountability.

4- Helps you modify your plan easier, and lets you see what changes you need to make to improve it.

5- Knowing that you have are getting closer to achieving your fitness goal reinforces you and motivates you.

6- Directs your goal and focus on your plan.

7- Makes you better committed to your plan.

The best ways to track your fitness progress:

1- Use a pen and a pencil

Using the traditional way of tracking your progress can never go wrong. Every week or so take measurements of your body parts (thighs, biceps, glutes, waist, and bust), as well as your weight. Every week compare your measurements with one of last week.

2- The mirror

Checking yourself in the mirror can tell you a lot about your progress. Make sure that you stand in front of a mirror once a week or every two weeks to see if you can track changes.

3- Increase the reps of your exercise

Keep track of how many reps you do for every exercise and the weight that you use for certain workouts. If you find that you were able to increase the number of reps or the weight you are carrying, then you most probably are scoring progress. In case you find that you are still unable to increase the weight or the reps, you might be suffering a serious injury or something similar.

4- Take pictures

Pictures can allow you to see the changes just like the mirror, however, the pictures record these changes and help you make a clear comparison between the different dates of the pictures.

5- Use an app

You can use an application that tracks fitness progress. Every app uses a different tracking method. Apps will identify the different data that you need to enter in order to be able to track your progress such as body measurements and weight.
