Lose It For Ever – Dave Elger

If all you ever do is workout and subjectively note how you feel, you may never notice a difference and quickly get discouraged. For example, let’s say you started walking, and after a few weeks you did 1 mile in 17 minutes. Your heart rate goes up to 170 beats per minute. A month later you are in better shape and do the same mile in 16 minutes. Your heart rate again goes to 170 beats per minute.

Your fitness level has improved and you are able to do more work, but the effort feels the same. If you hadn’t bothered to time your walk, you would never realize the difference. That’s why it’s so important to measure something. You won’t feel great every time you work out, but your fitness level could still be improving. That’s positive reinforcement!
