Inside the case I have a post it note telling me what equipment to use, what weights, whether I can use a rebounder for some of the cardio or unexpected equipment used such as a fit ball etc. this way I can start a workout quickly.
In a journal I have a brief message about what workout I did for that day so I can quickly scan for what type of workout needs to come next. When I have free time I enjoy reading the journal to see how much has been accomplished also to see how my workouts change direction for a while and what I come back to. |

I use a Google Doc Spreadsheet. It has the following columns:
Day of Week, Date, First workout, Second workout, Steps (daily total), Calories burned (workout), calories burned for the day (Fitbit), weight (my weight) and comments. I don't often do the second workout, but I keep it there because sometimes I do. I have records going back to 2011. I like it because I tend to jot down eating plans, etc. I can spot trends and see what works for me, and what doesn't.

For more than a decade now I've had a calendar devoted to writing down my workouts. All I do is write down the workout I did and jot the number of the days I've exercised for the year (172 or whatever). Faithfully, I always record this info. Do I ever look back on it? Ever! No. At the end of each year, I do note how many days of workouts I did, and in January of the next year I keep a running tab of the days going back all the years I've done it -- that I started in 1994. What use does all this do me? Not much at all -- especially the names of the workouts since I mostly never refer back to it -- but I keep doing it.
If it's weighing you down to record, I say forget it. Life is to short. The important thing is that you are working out. Or, maybe just keep track of the days? |
