Why you should keep a workout diary – Off The Mat

This post discusses the important of keeping a workout record, so you can track your progress, plan your workouts, hold yourself accountable, and watch yourself grow.

In June I spent about a week speaking with Members of the Members’ Area. The goal was to improve the Members’ Area, but also to figure out how they were using it within their own workout programs. It was really cool to see that there were so many similarities amongst the community. Despite geographics, age, and other differences, it was relatively easy to group people into specific groups or identities.

More than the others, there was one particular group of people that had a higher level of discipline. This group of people had a set schedule for their workouts. They took the time and made the extra effort to ensure that they would be able to stick to their workouts, even with professional and familial obligations.

Move More

You need to move at least an hour per day. This is non-negotiable. Your excuses don’t matter. At all. Your body gives you exactly what you give it. If you don’t move, guess what? Your body is eventually going to hurt. Mobility will decrease. You won’t be able to enjoy the physical activities you’re currently doing. You’ll lose muscle, lose strength, good posture, and might end up with significant back issues.

You just need to MOVE. In whatever you’re wearing. With whatever you have available.
