Top #30 Plus Greatest Ways To Lose Belly Fat..
#33 Ditch the scale
A scale will not show an accurate reflection of your progress. If you are exercising you're not just losing weight, your body composition is changing. In other words, you're losing fat and gaining muscle, and you should know muscle weighs more than fat. So, there's much more going on with your body then the scale can show you. The best way to keep track is with a tape measure and keep track of you vital statistics (taking your body measurements). Taking your body measurements is the best way to see where you're losing and what parts of you body are gaining muscle. The other way is to try on clothes that you wore prior to starting your get fit journey, and see how they fit your body along the way as that's a great way to show the changes in your body. Another good way that I use personally is use the mirror and a bikini to see the changes in your body. Try on a the size bikini that you're wanting to fit in to or maybe fit into before and stand in front of the mirror. The great thing is the mirror doesn't lie unless it's a Fun House mirror in a amusement park.. So, make sure it's your trusted mirror at home and really look at yourself, your body in front of the mirror and if you're doing the work, eating clean you should see amazing changes this way as well. Other than the scale you have these other ways to gauge your body's progress.
Taking your measurements is a fantastic method in keeping track of your changing body as you get fit. When you burn fat and increase muscle mass, there may be times when you weigh a little more despite the fact that your body is getting smaller and tighter. For a complete picture of your progress when taking your body measurements, measure yourself in 10 different places. Make sure you use a non-stretch measuring tape. Make sure the tape is level around your body and parallel to the floor. Keep tape close to your skin without depressing it.
Measurements:
1. Bust: Measure all the way around your bust, back on line of your nipples.
2. Chest: Measure directly under your breast as high up as possible.
3. Waist: Measure at it's narrowest point width-wise, above the navel.
4. Hips: Measure around the widest part of you hip bones.
5. Midway: Measure midway between the widest part of your hips and waist.
6. Thighs: Measure around the fullest part of your upper leg while standing.
7. Knees: Measure right above the knee
8. Calves: Measure around fullest part.
9. Upper-arm: Measure above your elbows, around the fullest part.
10. Form-arm: Measure below your elbows, around the fullest part.
