Log fitness ko sirf ek number se judge karte hain—scale pe weight. Jab wo number slow change hota hai, motivation crash ho jata hai. Reality me progress ke bohot saare signals hain jo scale se independent hote hain.
Strength changes dekho—pehle jahan 5 kg se struggle karte the, ab 8–10 kg relatively manageable lagta hai. Push-ups, squats, planks, pull-ups jaise bodyweight moves me rep count increase hona clear progress hai.
Stamina bhi marker hai: pehle 5 minute walk me hi breathless feel hota tha; ab 20 minute tak steady pace maintain ho raha hai. Stairs chadhte waqt kam huffing, daily kaam zyada easy lagna—all wins.
Measurements—waist, hips, arms, thighs—kabhi scale se zyada useful ho sakte hain. Body recomposition me fat kam aur muscle zyada ho sakta hai, jisse weight stuck lage, par shape visibly change ho.
Sleep quality, mood, energy level, digestion, cravings—all lifestyle improvements bhi fitness journey ka part hain. Jeans comfortable hona, old T-shirt fit ho jana, ya mirror me posture aligned lagna bhi celebration worthy hai.
Jab tum progress ko multiple angles se dekhna start karoge, toh ek slow week ya month tumhe derail nahi karega.
