What's Your Number?

First, I must apologize for not posting as much as I would have liked to in the past week, but I have recently become very interested in gaining more muscle, and the gym has become my second home. (Not that I am complaining about it.)

This past weekend, I went to Barnes and Noble (a bookstore, incase anyone was not aware) in order to find new ways to kick my workouts into high gear. Rather than finding a new book on the latest tips and tricks...I found something more useful- a workout tracker/daily journal! It is the best buy that I have made in awhile and I highly suggest it for any of you whom are not only trying to POUND off those extra, stubborn pounds, but for those who want to add on some lean muscle as well. In the journal it tracks: 

- BMI (body mass index- depending on height and weight)

- Blood pressure

-Body fat content (which is measured with a special instrument and not just a chart)

-Weight

-Water intake (IMPORTANT!)

-Body measurements (my favorite)

The reason the measurements are my favorite is because that is where I will see if my workouts and diet are adding and taking away the inches in the proper places. Personally, I like to measure my neck, biceps, chest, hips, waist, and thighs. Below is a diagram on where exactly to measure:

I hope this helps!

Keeping track will motivate you each time that you track your numbers. So...what's your number?
