For most people, the only metric that seems to matter in their quest for health, is the number on the scales in the morning. But as James points out in this week’s show, there are other metrics that are far more valuable, and far more empowering...
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Inches - Take a measurement from several different areas, including thighs, hips, waist and chest, and measure again each fortnight to look for signs of decrease.
Photographs of your physical progress are essential! At a set time each morning, take a photograph of your body, and within weeks, you’ll see the progress being made.
How do you feel? This is a metric most people ignore in favour of weight, but if you have more energy, and are feeling more dynamic, then your health is certainly improving.
Fitness is something you can easily track. You can feel positive change through your own strength levels, and the fact that you may not be so short on breath during simple activities.
BEST MOMENTS
’The numbers on the scales are the worst thing to judge your success on’
‘All that scales can tell you about is your relationship with gravity’
‘A picture paints a thousand words’
‘You feel better, you look better, but you’re judging your success on the number on a scale?'
