• Your clothes are no longer as tight as it was before you started working out. This is a subtle sign to show that you work out is successful, when your clothes are a bit free when you wear them.
• You numbers on the scale may not change so much but the more you exercise the more energy you get. Regular work out helps your body to release endorphins which boosts your energy levels.

Exercise equals less craving for sugary foods and more weight loss.
• Exercise make you develop more endurance. You will notice that you can climb the stairs without panting.
