If You Hate Getting On The Scale ...

If you don't like getting on the scale every day, here are 5 less stressful - and equally effective - alternatives.

(1) Use The Scale Less.

Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly ... they all work.

More that 50% of my clients prefer Weekly.

(The next 4 involve NO scale at all!)

(2) Track Actions.

How many days this week did you ____?

(Move, cook, eat 3 servings of protein, drink water ... the list is infinite.)

Consistency ➔ Results.

I use a Daily Habit Tracker for mine.

(3) Take Photos.

You don't have to share them with anyone.

Once a month is enough.

Take them in the same spot with the same lighting and clothes.

You might surprise yourself!

(4) Fit of Clothes.

Try on a constant outfit 1-2 times a month.

Does it feel the same, tighter, or looser?

Do you look more or less muscular in it?

Jot down your progress in a note.

(5) Performance Metrics.

Can you walk or run that mile faster?

Can you lift more or complete a WOD in less time?

Whatever exercise you're doing, always log your performance.

I use the TrainHeroic app for this.

Bodyweight is only 1 number.

You don't have to get on the scale every day to measure progress.

Hopefully these 5 ideas, which you can combine, will help.
