Training Journals : Things to Keep Track Of

If you want to achieve staggering progress with your fitness and health goals then you should start using a training journal. This will help you keep track of your workout details and progress.

Reviewing out with your training journal before a workout gives your mind a clear set of guidelines and directions to follow. 

This takes place on an unconscious level so you don’t even need to think about it. hence it’s strongly recommended to keep your health and fitness goals clearly inscribed on your training journal so anytime you plan for a workout, you get a quick peek at the reasons why you’re doing what you’re doing. This certainly enhances motivation and fuels performance.

Below are a few of the few things you have to plan with your training journal before: 

- What type of workout is on agenda;
- The duration of the workout;
- Do you've any soreness or pains from the last workout? If that's the case you may have to pace yourself or perhaps take the day off if it is an option;
- What is your energy level? If you began the day feeling totally depleted, this either means that you haven’t fully recovered from past workouts or you’re lacking energy intake.
- Your health and fitness goals and progress.

Of course don’t feel the need to follow the above guidelines verbatim. Use some common sense and only keep track of what seems mandatory and of significance to your fitness goals.
