The Easiest Way to Assess Your Workout Monthly

You start training and before you know it a month has gone by. You think you are doing okay, but you aren’t really sure because you haven’t really analyzed your workout. Here’s a quick and easy way to assess your workout monthly, so you know how you are doing.

You should have established your overall goals. For example, I want to prepare for a marathon in September or I want to be in shape for my wedding in July. Now here’s how you can quickly assess whether you are meeting those goals and how well you are doing so.

Start a regular strength routine and stick to it. For example, you might do 3 full body workouts every week with 6 exercises: standing rows, bicep curls, shoulder presses, squats, bench press, and pull-ups. Then in a few weeks you might add a couple of more exercises like dips and deadlifts. Stick to this workout routine for at least a month and then assess how it’s working for you. Do you feel stronger, have you lost weight, are you developing lean muscle mass, etc.
Review your diet. You should have put into play with your workout a nutritional plan that reflects whether you want to lose, gain or maintain your weight. At the end of your 30 days you need to assess how well you’ve stayed on track. Were you able to stay on track and maintain the reduced calories? Were you able to eat healthy such as more fruits and vegetables? Whatever you established as your criteria make sure you have met it.
Did you do your workouts on schedule and complete them. Whether your workout is every other day or daily you need to assess that you have been staying on schedule. You need to assess your progress and whether you were able to maintain your schedule and the number of exercises you decided you would do.
Building up your intensity. Were you able to add reps or sets? For example, did you take your squats from 1 set to 2 sets and your reps from 10 reps to 15 reps. You need to make sure that you have consistently added to your workout intensity at least weekly, but if you feel you are up to it you can decide to do this more often.
Did you experience any weight loss or loss of inches. Now is the time to weigh yourself and see if there’s been any weight loss. However, remember it’s more important to look at measurements than actual weight since muscle weights more than fat. So don’t be discouraged if you actually see the scale number going up not down.
Include short intense workouts. Research has shown that this type of workout can be very beneficial. You need to assess how often you were able to incorporate this type of workout. It’s easy to not bother, but don’t do this to yourself. You can really benefit from this practice!
Are you taking the right supplements. You’ll want to make sure you are taking the right vitamins and minerals. Perhaps you’ve added HGH supplements like genf20 Plus, Genfx, Provacyl and Sytropin which offer a great deal of benefits, helping your body to increase its production of HGH and playing a major role in accomplishing your fitness goals.
Are you happy with your workouts. What do you like or dislike about your current workout regime. What would you like to change. Now is the time to do that. Make the adjustments and then in another month you will reassess.
