Monitoring your Water Fitness Program 
From people trying to lose weight to those training for a big race-- the bottom line is you can't measure how well you are progressing (or not) unless you monitor.
In an article titled Top Ten "DO's" and "DON'Ts" of Weight Loss, Weight Watchers Chief Scientist Karen Miller-Kovach lists monitoring as the #1 "DO" for success. Monitor your progress, Miller-Kovach recommends. Weighing yourself once a week, logging your food and activity, and monthly sessions with a tape measure record your progress to keep you motivated.

6" challenge? The February 28 deadline is quickly approaching. Join

What should you monitor? 1. Nutrition Without a nutrition plan, most weight loss plans end up in shambles. To monitor your nutritional intake, try preparing a healthy meal plan and shopping list for the week ahead of you. Put it in writing-- you will be more likely to stick to it. 2. Exercise Make a workout sheet or checklist that you can use to record details like type of exercise, duration, and level of exertion. Workouts should be scheduled at convenient times to fit in with your schedule. If your schedule is too full, you need to re-organize because health should be a top priority. 3. Measurements Check-in weekly with your measurements to keep track of how your body is changing and reacting to your program. Do not weigh yourself every day, and do not measure yourself with the scale alone. Although weight is important to track, the measuring tape will tell a truer story.

4. Workout Intensity Terry Nelson, owner of UK based Aqua Running Ltd. and certified aquatic instructor, recommends monitoring workout intensity with a heart rate monitor. You can even monitor your heart rate quite simply by touching the large artery in your neck. Count for your pulses for ten seconds and multiply by six to find your heart rate per minute.
