Hello Carolyn Coleman,
I define and measure physical fitness by the client being able to do what they want when they want. I keep track of their progress and compare the present records to their first and past sessions.
Thank you,
Natalie

It’s flexibility strength and balance improvement and ease of routine that they started which gives individuals confidence.

Wow, big question. Are you interested in comparing your clients to their own performance or measure them compared to others in their age range?

There are a ton of comparative measurements you can do, to see how your clients stack up against normative data.

But personally, I like tend to o a thorough assessment of strength, endurance, flexibility and balance without comparing client’s data to other people. What do they really want to be able to do? What skills do they need to have in order to do that? What other skills that they’re less interested in but will help lead to well-balanced health should be focused on (for example, if client wants to get stronger, I’ll help them with strength, but we’ll also set supporting flexibility and balance goals, because they indirectly support).
