To ensure that nothing interrupts your fitness journey:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check your measurements every day. You might not see changes immediately, but a detailed record will show promise in the long term.<\/li>\n<li>Keep an account of your measurements in a journal.<\/li>\n<li>Stick with the same trainer who measures you.<\/li>\n<li>Eat a <strong>balanced diet<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong id=\"4-ways-to-track-the-progress-of-your-fitness-journey\">4 ways to track the progress of your fitness journey<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That which gets measured gets improved. As you are working out, your body undergoes changes. To measure these changes, the following are the health tools you can use to stay motivated and make progress:<\/p>\n<p><strong>BMI<\/strong><strong> formula<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61003 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Body-Mass-Index.jpg\" alt=\"Body Mass Index_Activ Living\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The body mass index (<strong>BMI<\/strong>) formula helps you measure your body <strong>weight<\/strong> by using your weight and height to determine whether you are underweight, at a healthy weight, overweight or obese. A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered a healthy benchmark. This health tool can help you minimize the risk of developing weight-related diseases, such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, and <strong>type 2 diabetes<\/strong>. You can measure your BMI with our online <strong>BMI Calculator<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Measure your waist to hip ratio (WHR)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61004 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Measuring-Weight.jpg\" alt=\"Measuring Waist_Activ Living\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Measuring your body parts gives a more accurate picture of your body composition. You can determine your metabolic health from your <strong>waist to hip ratio<\/strong>. <strong>Excess weight <\/strong>around the waist leads to <strong>obesity<\/strong>. Measure and divide your waist circumference by your hip circumference to find out the ratio, which according to the World Health Organisation, should ideally be 0.85 or lower. You can even use our online <strong>Waist To Hip Ratio Calculator<\/strong>. You can measure other body parts such as your chest, calves and biceps as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check your <\/strong><strong>blood pressure<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61005 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Blood-Pressure.jpg\" alt=\"Blood Pressure_Activ Living\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Even if your weight remains stagnant, normal blood pressure is the testimony of a healthy heart and reduced risk of heart diseases. You can measure your <strong>blood pressure<\/strong> on our online <strong>Blood Pressure<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/health-tools\/blood-pressure\/\"><strong> Calculator<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Track your workouts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-63914 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Track-Your-Workout.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Consistency is the key. As you lose fat and gain muscle, ensure that you keep a record of your measurements. Use a fitness tracker that can measure your heart rate and breathing rate while lifting, running, jogging, biking or the number of <strong>steps<\/strong> that you have walked in a day. You can also jot down the training volume, that is, the sets, repetitions, and weights you are lifting and the subsequent progress each week. Click post-workout photos to witness muscle growth and visualise your fitness journey.<\/p>\n<p>To lead a healthy standard of life, find out more <strong>nutrition<\/strong> and <strong>lifestyle<\/strong>-related information on our Activ Living Page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As and when people start a new health routine, about a month in, they are&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2963,"featured_media":61008,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2180,6,8],"tags":[822,2113,3027,93],"class_list":["post-61001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-21startsabhi","category-health-and-fitness","category-lifestyle-conditions","tag-blood-pressure","tag-bmi","tag-bmi-calcuator","tag-fitness-tracker"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Track Your Fitness With These Effective Health Tools<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As you are working out, your body undergoes changes.
