Monday is always a big measurement day for me, and i know i have quite a few lined up today.
For those who regularly go through it, you will know what i am talking about. For those of you who never chart your progress, here’s why you should immediately adopt the process.
First of all, how do you know how you are improving?
Second, even if you feel better and things you think are improving, how do you know how much?
Thirdly, even if you know all of these things, how do you know which exercises have contributed the most, and which exercises have contributed the least, and perhaps you have been wasting your time on some movements, and you could have spent your time much better on a far more efficient programme for yourself?
Chances are if you are not looking at these key indicators, then you are training at a facility that doesn’t care about your progress, doesn’t have the resources or expertise to monitor your progress, and just concentrates on how many direct debits they can get. Your progress IS REALLY NOT on their agenda.
What happens if your blood pressure is high?
What happens if you have palpatations from exercise?
What happens if you have a bad knee from certain movements, but don’t know any other way?
What happens if your body fat levels are at dangerous levels? What’s the best way to solve the problem and get some momentum in our health and fitness plan?
As i said, measurements are part of my training day, and i know all my clients highly value this way of doing things, because it answers a LOT of questions immediately.
