Please enjoy reading my tip below on keeping a fitness journal.

Fitness Journal :
Taking two minutes a day to update a fitness journal will get you better results! I don't mean a short story either...just a few quick notes about your day.

For many people getting fit and staying fit can feel like an impossible task but a fitness journal will help keep you on track as it monitors your progress and keeps you motivated by your improved performance and results.

Why a fitness journal will work for you

A fitness journal can help everyone but, if you're not yet convinced, here are my top two reasons why an activity diary will improve your approach to fitness:


  1. A fitness journal will help you be honest with yourself on a daily basis and understand why you are reaching � or not reaching � your goals. This will help you continue to push yourself and make progress, whatever your fitness level.

  2. A fitness journal will help you keep moving forward. If life or injury gets in the way of your exercise plan then a fitness journal will help you easily retrace your steps and get back on track.


If you are wondering how you are going to find the time to keep a journal when you can barely even find the time to workout: relax � I don't mean an essay! Just jot down these five things every day.


  • Day and date. You can use a  a diary, a desk calendar or add a note in your Outlook calendar.

  • Feelings. Always do this at the end of the day. A simple happy, sad, or indifferent will do (you could even use smile-y faces!) or, if you wish to elaborate you can. In this section, add any special notes or major events.

  • Activity. List the time, duration, type and intensity of the activity.

  • Body assessment. Do you feel any pain or excessive tiredness, did a particular exercise feel uncomfortable or do you feel amazing?

  • Nutrition.  Put down a number from 1-10, with one being terrible and ten meaning you were perfectly on target.

SIMPLE......Happy Journaling everyone.
