HOW TO TRACK YOUR FITNESS PROGRESS I THE BEYOND STRENGTH SHOW I CHRIS MERRITT & TODD BUMGARDNER

We all want to see the fruits of our labor, right? Why would we do anything, other than something that’s purely pleasurable, if we can’t eventually note measurable progress? Well, unless we are seeing measurable results, or we’re getting some kind of pleasure, we typically stop doing the thing. So, we need to give ourselves reasons to keep doing the thing. Fitness progress can feel slow because, well, sometimes it is. However, sometimes you’re making progress and you don’t realize it because you just don’t know how to measure it. That’s especially true of progress with conditioning, particularly low and slow aerobic conditioning – something that we all need.  In today's episode, we'll outline a handful of ways that you can track your fitness progress to help you stay the course and also deepen your understanding of conditioning progress.
