When you make the decision to start a new fitness programme, one of the first questions you should ask is how are you going to measure your progress? Doing this will make it easier to achieve your overall goal.
How will you measure your progress?
Running a marathon: Are you ready for the challenge?
After yet another year of watching the London Marathon on the TV, you've decided to enter; but how do you know if you're really ready?
Fasted cardio for weight loss: Is it really superior?
When it comes to losing weight, fasted cardio is a popular method, but does it work and is it actually superior to exercising after a meal?

So, is there anything you can do to tackle your demotivating inner voice?
