The scale isn’t the only way to measure success. Here are four ways to change how you think about exercise and fitness goals.
01
A gym workout isn’t the only
way to exercise. All movement counts, including
gardening, dancing with kids,
vacuuming, climbing stairs,
playing pickleball, sledding
and hiking to name a few.
02
Skipped a few workouts, but did more than last week? That’s a win. Celebrate the progress you make instead of focusing on what you didn’t do. If you’re moving forward, you’ll still achieve your goals even 03 with slip-ups along the way.
03
As few as 20 seconds at a time produces results. Take the stairs, speed walk through errands, park in a spot far from your destination and skip drive throughs. Wear an activity monitor and see how those steps add up.
04
Focus on overall health benefits you’re seeing from your workouts. You can measure success in many ways.
If you want to track a number, track your resting heart rate (number of heartbeats in a minute while still). Your resting heart rate will go down as you become fitter because a stronger heart can pump more blood with every heartbeat. Between 55 and 85 beats per minute is a typical resting heart rate for most healthy adults.
