Losing weight is not an easy task, but when it comes to fitness, many people consider just going to the gym or exercising as the most accurate way. Do not make it your habit to eat full stomach in the morning and check your weight every night before sleeping. But also do not make it your habit to check your weight by taking out the weight scale machine every night because now we are telling you some such ways to check your fitness level at home, which does not take any effort and you can easily check your fitness sitting at home.
Take size from waist to hip
Take one inch tape and take the size from your waist to hip. Take one of your fingers and measure out from under your navel with an inch tape measure. Take the same from above the waist. Similarly measure your hips as well. For women, the waist size should be less than 35. The waist-to-hip ratio for women should be between 0.7 to 0.85 and for men it should be between 0.85 to 0.95.
Sit and reach test
Place a chair against the wall and sit with your legs straight. Now spread your legs and try to touch your toes by spreading your hands. While doing this test, keep your shoulders straight, the spine should also be absolutely straight. Note down the distance you can measure with your fingers. Extend your hand as far as you can measure.
Measure your heart rate
For this test, measure your heart rate first thing in the morning. You can do this in two ways: First, by checking the pulse rate with an oximeter. First of all, before getting out of bed in the morning, put an oximeter on your finger and count to 10, then note down the number. To record a second time, lie down on the bed and check the pulse on your neck or wrist and note the number. This will help you find your average heart rate.
