fitness What Is the Best Way to Track Fitness Progress?

[Apsara]

Tracking fitness progress can be motivating, but what’s the best way to measure your improvements? Do you use fitness apps, track your workouts with a journal, or rely on specific metrics like body measurements or weight? What method has helped you stay focused on your goals and see tangible progress over time?

I use fitness applications and it proved to be the best method for me to monitor my development. Through MyFitnessPal and Strava applications, I am able to track my physical activities and workouts. I also take both photo documentation and measurement records to observe my changes throughout a particular period.

I use Strava to record and archive my hikes and bike rides.

For my cycling, I use a Garmin bike computer that sends data to Garmin Connect on my phone and then to Strava.

For my hiking, I use a Garmin Watch. It's very basic. I have to enter it as a running event and change it to hiking once it transfers to Strava from Connect. My particular watch doesn't have a hiking mode. It's old, but unlike my Apple Watch, it lasts forever without needing a charge.

I use the Apple Watch to record my steps and standing goals.

I prefer tracking only the important metrics that appeal to me instead of using only weight or body measurements. I track my running pace and strength over a period of time. And if I see concrete improvements, I maintain focus toward my fitness goals. I monitor my exercise attendance consistency every day using the tracking app. .
