Mirror, Mirror on the wall.....

One of the best things to have when you are tracking your progress is a mirror. A full length mirror. How does this simple everyday object help?

1) Checking Body Composition: Though there are different methods of checking body fat, the mirror just has a way of not lying about your progress. You might have started to lose fat in one area and not quite in another. Tracking this way will show you how much more fat you have to lose. The mirror along with a body fat analyzer will keep you on track and measure your goals when it's body fat.

2) Muscle and Body shape: One look in the mirror and you will immediately see your symmetry and how the muscle is shaping as you train.

3) Posture: Posture is necessary to be checked as well. There are ways to assess and correct posture but on the go the mirror will also show you how you are developing and if you are at risk for muscle imbalance.

4) Visualization: Since you can see yourself you can also start to visualize where you want to be or where you would like to see yourself.



Use a mirror to your advantage when tracking goals. The weighing scale can only tell you your total weight. The question of bigger concern is how much of that weight is body fat. The mirror will not lie to you. Its about as real as is gets.

Milestone 2013


Hi Everyone!




First let me wish you all a Happy new year!

What a start to the new year I had.

I know its been a while since I posted anything up. I have just had a really busy two months. I have shifted to a new house and I have not had much time or more importantly an internet connection! Even right now I'm somewhere else doing this.

Well as I said big things have happened in the last two months. I have moved to a new house and Ime (my wife) and I are enjoying it.

In the middle of all that....

Here are my latest stats

Weight: 78 kgs from 82 kgs
Body fat: 19.7% from 22%

Here is the big one.

Waistline: 32.5inches down from  36 inches!

I am nearly at my goal which is 75kgs bodyweight, 15% Body fat and 32 inch waist line! I am nearly there!

Will keep you posted. Keep training hard.
