Workout Log

One of the things that kept my gym habit going when I first started out in high school was my training log. The first time I got coaching in a gym was the first time I filled in a training log. This notebook was to be kept at the gym, and each time I trained I was to fill in the workout and the weights I used. It was explained to me that this way I could make sure I was challenging myself and progressing.

From that point on, and for many years later I kept a training log of some sort. It was always so motivating to see what I was doing in the gym and helpful to check in on numbers to see if I was maintaining or losing strength during the hockey season.

A feature of Truecoach you may not be taking advantage of is seeing your workout log.

Checking progress on certain movements and tallying up all your past workouts is a sure fire way to find inspiration and/or motivation.

When we’re chasing progress, it’s difficult to stop and reflect on all you’ve done to get to the point where you’re currently at. Take the time to do that every now and then. It’s the advantage of keeping a workout journal or tracking through something like Truecoach.
