In addition to paying attention to the pace of your workouts, it is important to challenge your strength, endurance, coordination, flexibility and balance if you want to improve on your fitness level.

Because our bodies adapt and grow stronger, we will hit plateaus that cause our fitness level to stay the same. Some people may hit plateaus at different times, so that is why it’s important to move at your own pace. It is a good idea to assess yourself about every six weeks to see where your fitness level is standing. 

Check to see if you are improving or moving towards the goals you are setting for yourself.  Periodically checking your fitness level is a great way to watch your progress and see how much you have accomplished. And when you are ready, it won’t take much to add a challenge.

Even something as simple as adding more repetitions or grabbing some heavier weights can kick-start some strength-building. So examine your goals and evaluate what kind of program you are following, and you will be sure to get the most out of your workouts.
