Technique 1 : quantifying results

For best results read from 1st post

How should we start ?

First of all, we need to be able to quantify our results in order to check our progress. In order to know whether our program is working or not we need to know our fat %.
These website is a good place to start :
1) http://www.healthyforms.com/helpful-tools/body-fat-percentage.php

2) http://zone.cust.he.net/prothd2.html

3) http://www.csgnetwork.com/healthcalc.html

4) http://www.scientificpsychic.com/fitness/diet.html

There are many places to start, but measuring your fat percentage is important.
It is important to be consistent in taking your measurements, for example to take your measurement every morning when you wake up. comparing measurements taken at inconsistent times will mislead you. Throughout our program. please take your measurements, at least once a week. The result will definitely motivate you to follow your program.



The difference between weight and fat percentage:

Is your weighing machine enough to measure your fat % ?
Your weight is made up of a few components, your bones, fat, water, muscle and many more. You can be heavy but muscular, on the other hand you can be heavy but fat. Most of the fat is stored at the stomach and hips, so taking these fat% measurements is important to clarify whether we have gained muscle or fat.

Throughout the program, it could be possible that you do not lose your weight at all, but discover that your waist size reducing dramatically, do not be surprised.
