How to Track Progress When You're Just Starting Out

I've been trying to figure out how to track my progress as a beginner without obsessing over the numbers 😭 Weight changes can be confusing and sometimes I don't notice any difference even when I'm training consistently. I'm thinking of tracking my reps and strength instead of just checking the scale. What do you guys usually track when starting a new workout plan?

Ngl tracking my reps and weights helped me notice progress I wasn’t seeing in the mirror 😭

I usually keep everything in my notes app so I can compare my workouts week to week

Girl I track how my clothes fit too because the scale doesn’t always tell the whole story

Bro even being able to lift the same weight with better form is progress 💪

I started taking progress pictures every month and they’re honestly more useful than checking the scale daily

Sleep and energy levels are worth tracking too because recovery makes such a difference

focus on consistency more than anything else. Getting stronger over time is what keeps me motivated

Have you tried using a workout tracker app? I find it way easier than remembering everything manually
