- Take Progress Photos: Take photos of yourself at regular intervals (e.g. every 4 weeks) and compare them to see any changes in muscle definition or size.
- Measurements: Measure your body parts (arms, chest, waist, etc.) to track changes in muscle and body fat.
- Record your Workouts: Keep a log of the exercises, sets, reps and weight you use for each workout. This will allow you to track your progress over time and see how you are improving.
- Keep a Food Journal: Track the foods you eat and the calories you consume. This will help you identify any areas where you may need to make adjustments in your diet.
- Bodyweight: Weigh yourself regularly, but be mindful that muscle weighs more than fat.
- Body Fat: Measure your body fat percentage to see if you are losing fat and gaining muscle.
- Strength Progress: Keep track of your max lift on exercises, and compare them to your previous max.
- Monitor your resting heart rate: Your resting heart rate can indicate how well your body is recovering, and how fit you are.
- Take note of how your clothes fit: Clothes that were tight on you before may start to feel loose, indicating that you have lost body fat and gained muscle.
- Listen to your body: Pay attention to how you feel after your workouts. If you're recovering well and feeling energized, you're probably on the right track.
