The Six Types of Measurement Under Your Control

Physical Self Awareness
Types of Measurements

The Mirror
The mirror is a visual assessment of what you look like to yourself! The mirror is a great way to measure and monitor physical change over time. If you see change in the mirroe there is no denying change and personal progress.
Body Composition
An accurate breakdown of pounds of fat, pounds of water and pounds of muscle. Over time, monitoring these elements can indicate how well a menu plan, cardio plan, and workout plan are progressing or not.

Body composition is the most valuable tool for anyone looking to gauge success for a fat loss, body toning or body building program.

Tape Measure
Taking measurements of body parts such as your thighs, arms or waist are a powerful way to accurately measure an increase or decrease in individual body parts.

For anyone looking to alter any particular body part, this is a great way to monitor the progress of a menu plan, cardio plan and workout plan.
Clothing
How does your clothing fit, looser or tighter? Most of our lives are spent in our clothes and feeling good in them is a value a lot of people have.

What does this mean? This means you can use clothing as another measure of progress. For a lot of women going down 1, 2, or even 3 sizes is a great measure of success. Also for men, going up one shirt size or down one pant size is a measure of success.

Touch
Flex your arm and squeeze touch yourself, do you feel soft or firm?

When you squeeze your arm (when flexed or when "making a muscle") are you hard or soft? If you are soft it is a great indicator not only of fat but most likely being under caloried or under nourished.

Feeling firm to the touch seems to be very important to most fitness minded poeple.
