Measuring progress & success in exercise & physical activity

with Dr Han Newman

A pre-recorded webinar exploring the ways in which we might measure our progress and success in our exercise, physical activity and training endeavours.

We consider the pros and cons of measuring numerical performance stats - including step count, run speed/distance, weight lifted etc.

And we explore what alternative measures of progress and success that we can draw on.

'IF it's not recorded, it didn't happen, right??'

maybe you're dancing around your bedroom at 11.55 trying to complete the circle on your fitness watch?

Or maybe you're stressing about your gym session later because you're worried whether you'll be able to lift as heavy last as last week?

Do you find yourself pre-occupied with your training numbers?

Are your emotions negatively impacted by the measures you are currently using?

Are you unsure what you should or shouldn't be measuring?

Answered yes to any of the above? This one's for you! It's easy to get lost in measuring progress and success - the possibilities are endless. Which means it can be overwhelming... Am I measuring the right things? What if I don't hit my targets? What if this session isn't as good as the last one? How do I know if I'm truly making progress?

This webinar is designed to strip everything back, break everything down, and provide you with a reflective framework to help you decide how to measure YOUR progress and success in a way that works for YOU - and most crucially, is aligned with the reasons WHY you're doing it in the first place!

Measuring progress and success should be a positive and helpful part of your training and exercise engagement, NOT something that you dread or makes you feel bad about yourself.

So let me help you to make your measures do just that!
