Strength, power, and endurance are also metrics to determine your fitness level.
Heart rate is a simple way to measure your fitness. For a healthy adult, your heart rate remains between 60 and 80 beats per minute.
To achieve the best physical condition and physique, you should always rely on physical exercise. Good training guarantees physical fitness and mental well-being. However, many people measure their physical progress by measuring their weight, which is not an accurate method. These are the three ways, according to fitness experts, through which you can measure your physical condition and growth.
Lee Stoner, an assistant professor of exercise physiology at the University of North Carolina, told the New York Times that for an individual's cardiovascular and metabolic health, it's important to prioritize fitness over “fatness.” Therefore, below are three expert-certified metrics, which can be used to measure your fitness accurately.
Heart health
Heart rate is a simple way to measure your fitness. For a healthy adult, your heart rate remains between 60 and 80 beats per minute. Christopher Lundstorm, a professor of sports and exercise science at the University of Minnesota, said a sign of fitness is when your heart rate begins to match the intensity of the exercise. He added that as your fitness level improves, your heart will easily and quickly adjust and adapt to the changes.
Objective of the exercise
According to Dr. Lundstorm, you can also determine your fitness through performance, strength, power, and endurance. The exercise goal simply means how quickly you are able to complete an exercise. For that, you just have to trust in your abilities to achieve your goal or objective. For example, you can do a plank to increase your abdominal strength and time it. And if you want to improve your total body conditioning, set a time limit and count the number of burpees you did within that time limit. According to more information, the board can be measured on a scale of 1 to 10. An 8 is considered good.
Daily life work
Interestingly, your daily routine and your work are also good determinants of your physical condition. It means the level of ease with which you can perform your daily tasks. Include simple and regular tasks, such as how quickly you can get dressed, clean your house, go to work, etc.
