My Workout Journal

One thing I started this year when I started to become seriously committed (and even a bit addicted) to working out was a workout journal. The one I use is pictured above. It’s called The Ultimate Workout Log by Suzanne Schlosberg. It has some good tools. There’s plenty of room for each day as far as strength training, but I’d like more than the three short lines for cardio. I hardly need much room for the strength training, since I enter my weights on Excel worksheets on my computer instead.

The beauty of keeping a workout diary or journal is I can look back through the past and see how far I’ve come. Or if I’m feeling lazy I can look back at a week I was energetic and strong and find inspiration or encouragement. This particular journal also has nice inspirational quotes (like the one at the top of this entry) as well as trivia and other fitness information. I think it’s a decent journal and it’s been a great help to me, but I’m still looking around if I can find one even better (if you know of one, let me know). I’d like one with more space for cardio workouts.
