It is important to plan and record your exercise so that you can monitor your own progress. In the last article we discussed what equipment we needed to record your progress in terms of your weight and body measurements. In this article we need to look at what equipment you need to begin to exercise and also how to record the exercise on your High BMI Kit by keeping a diary of activity. For this please watch video 7.
Equipment:
In the last video and article (6) we discussed the first 3 pages of the High BMI Kit (steps 1-3 click here to read). We looked at filling in the H & S form, how to record your personal measurements and how to measure your BMI.
We will now look at the remaining 2 pages, how to record the level of fitness you have now and your fitness goals and also how to fill in the diary.
My Fitness
Have a look at the fitness table and decide honestly what your level of fitness is and also your skill level.
Fill this in on your sheet and now write down next to this what you would like your target fitness level to be.
My Goals
Now fill in this section being mindful of all the data you know about yourself. Make your goals compelling to you and realistic.
The Diary: Fitness matters
In the last video and article (6) we discussed filling in your body measurements in the top section of the diary so that you could weigh yourself weekly and monitor your own progress. In the Fitness Matters section of the diary, also record your activity for the week and note what you did, how it felt. This way you really will be able to see your progress but also your patterns, for example, when you are most tired, when your weight fluctuates because of hormones etc. You will start to get to know your body, when you can push and when to go a bit easier. You will start to see you are getting stronger, less out of breath, feeling more positive, and so on and so forth. This can be useful to read when you may hit a dark day or two as it helps put things in perspective.
