You may have a need or curiosity to figure out what your fitness status is after a period of inactivity or even periodically, to measure progress (or regression!). How important it is we have already written about it here<\/a>, but in order to accomplish this you must have tools. We recommend them here, not neglecting that if something goes wrong and you get injured, you may also need some remedies. Of course, excluding that the problems are more serious, in which case our advice is always to seek expert<\/strong> advice.<\/p>\n

In this buyer’s guide we recommend the tools to know your fitness status and some remedies if something goes wrong. Ready? Go!<\/p>\n

Get to know you<\/h3>\n

Let us assume that (almost) everything can be measured. We measure each other’s weight, height, belly circumference, times (especially those!). Weight is a meaningful figure up to a point, which is why the advice is to spend a little more and buy a scale that also provides an estimate of fat mass and other parameters.<\/p>\n

Garmin Smart Index People Weighing Scale<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Garmin Smart Index<\/a> scale measures weight, percentage of water, fat, muscle and bone mass, r<\/span>ileva up to 16 different users and automatically recognizes them from weighing, and best of all, you can connect it via <\/span>wirelessly with Garmin Connect.<\/span><\/p>\n

Accuweight food scale <\/a><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To control your weight you also need to weigh what you eat, right? The Accuweight digital scale<\/a> is reasonably priced, weighs up to 5kg of food, and is minimalist with its total black glass top and red display only. We like it!<\/p>\n

Measure and note your performance<\/h3>\n

Having checked your body weight and what you eat, it is time to put on your shoes and hit the streets to measure your performance. To do it right, you need to know exactly how far you have traveled, and if you don’t have an athletic track available, you can only rely on precise measurement. Here’s how to do it.<\/p>\n

Metric wheel<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The metric wheel<\/a> is used to measure, precisely, a distance on the road. Just push it on its wheel and it takes care of measuring. A kind of stroller with only one wheel. And without a seat. A wheel with a stick attached, basically. And a display where you can read how many meters you have traveled.<\/p>\n

Moleskine Passion Journal Wellness<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We always write down everything on our cell phones or computers, so for a very personal passion like running, we thought it was more romantic to use paper. Moleskine’s Passion Journal Wellness<\/a> notebook is designed precisely to allow you to jot down your progress from the perspective of mental and physical well-being alone.<\/p>\n

Train from home<\/h3>\n

To train, one must not only run, or rather: to run well, one must also train. No: to run well you also need to do other kinds of training, that’s how it was! Fortifying the core<\/a> and other parts of the body is very important for running better because it allows you to do work that running neglects. The tools we recommend are useful for free-body exercises or even for practicing yoga<\/a>, a discipline that is always great to incorporate, not only for athletic training per se but also for the mental benefits it brings.<\/p>\n
