Fit Tips - Workout Log

It's such a simple thing, but a workout log can make your workouts so much better. Your workout log can be anything, a small notebook, pieces of paper stapled together or you can even log it on your phone or ipod. Whichever is easiest for you. This is mine:

Yes, I'm a Game of Thrones fan and it had to be a Stark notebook really. You can write down your program in the book however you like, but most important is to write down your progress.

I use a different page for each exercise, write down how much weight I'm lifting for that exercise and the rep scheme.

Example:

Squat 100kg 5 x 5

To progress you'd either increase the weight, increase the amount of sets, or increase the amount of repetitions. Once you've completed a workout, or exercise, circle or tick it and write down what you think you can achieve next workout.

I'd recommend at least logging your main lifts, like squat and deadlift.

If you're not progressing in your workouts you won't be making any progress in your fitness or physique. For the body to grow or for fitness to increase you need to be progressing with the weights for your body to adapt.

Log your workouts and progress! #getmoving
