How do you monitor your activity? To earn Activity PointsPlus we look at Duration, intensity, personal weight. What else could we track?
What about these?
- Distance
- Weights
- Repetitions
- Post Work Out overall feeling
How far did you go when you first started walking/running/biking/swimming? How far are you going now? Did you add distance for the same time and intensity? Should you?
How heavy are the weights you work with? Could you swap the 7 lbs for 10 lbs? the 10 lbs for 12?
How many repetitions of each exercise are you doing? How about adding 2 to each set?
How do you feel after a work out? Ready for another work out? Maybe you need to bump up your routine. Worn off and sore to the point of not being able to go on to your daily activity? Maybe you are overdoing it! Sick of it? You need to try something else!
Self assessment is an important part of your activity routine. It keeps you on track, and let you know if your routine is effective, and realistic. It also is a great way to measure your improvements which are great motivators!
