#19: How to know if you are getting results from your weight training (8 ways to track progress)

40+ Fitness for Women: Strength Training, Health & Weight Loss for Women in menopause & perimenopause

Building muscle is a slow process so it's not unusual for people to question whether they are actually getting anywhere as they continue to show up and lift.

In this episode, I go over 8 ways to track whether you are actually making progress:

1️⃣ Take progress pictures

2️⃣ Take measurements with a tape measure

3️⃣ Take body composition measurements

4️⃣ Track your training sessions' weights and reps

5️⃣ Watch for changes in your everyday life

6️⃣ Feel yourself

7️⃣ Look for signs of increasing muscle definition

8️⃣ How clothes fit

For each of these, I go through them with some real-life examples so that you can more easily apply some or all of these methods!

IF you are NOT seeing progress and you've been doing this for a while, please go back to episodes #12 and #13 which go over all the factors which affect how quickly you'll see results, and make sure you're not missing some critical piece!

If you want help to figure it out, I'll be glad to help - reach out to me.
