Measurements for Success!

We are on Day 2 of the 30 Days of Healthy Living in The Hollywood Trainer Club! Jeanette is kicking the week off with 6 Facebook Live sessions to help you set up 2018 with a healthy living plan. Join us tonight on Jeanette’s Facebook Pageat 5pm PST/ 8pm EST to talk about Measurements for Success. Body weight is only one parameter to assess your results, tonight we will discuss body fat percentage, body types, positive body image, girth measurements, waistline circumference, water weight and much more. Join us at 5pm PST/8pm EST for a Faceboo k Live to learn more.
Let’s Get Started! Measurements!
Take your measurements as soon as possible and re-measure every Friday to monitor your progress. It is important that you do not measure your success by just your body weight but you also take body fat percentages, lean muscle percentage, girth measurements/inches, waistline circumference, positive body image, fitness levels (cardio, strength, endurance, flexibility), health measurements (cholesterol, blood pressure, resting heart rate) and before photos.
All of these Measurements will create Your Personal Fitness Profile!
You can access all of these measurement charts and fitness tests in The Hollywood Trainer Club under your Personal Profile and the Tools tab.

6. Flexibility Test
We have listed several tests so you can measure your progress in many areas so you don’t get discouraged if your weight doesn’t instantly change. There are many factors that affect your body weight, like sodium intake which causes bloating, nutrition, hydration/dehydration, body fat percentage, allergies, weight training, menstrual cycle, complex carbohydrates, hormones, medication and much more. That is why it is important to also measure your fitness levels, health parameters & complete body composition because one week you may not lose numbers on the scale but you lose 2 inches around your waist, 1 inch off your thighs and increase your strength to 10 push-ups on your toes!
The success of your journey is much more than just your total body weight. It is important to track your body weight but it is not the only number we want to focus on. We want to make sure you are improving in all areas of health and fitness, including self-love and positive body image, complete mind, body & spirit! It’s important to asses your healthy living journey from a place of love and not a place of criticism. This journey is about finding a healthy living balance, after all this is your life and we want healthy living to be part of your daily routine.
