Best Way To Track Workouts? Should You Keep A Fitness Journal..
What’s the best way to track your workouts?
I’ve always had success in making things as simple as possible. Yes, there are a ton of great fitness apps out there that have every possible bell and whistle on them and can even remind you when to eat your meals but…
If it’s complex then there is a learning curve that most people will not tackle. So in this video I show you exactly what I use and why!
I only track pull ups, dips and pistol squats. One workout to track for every muscle group. I know this isn’t perfect but it’s easy and does represent progress for pretty much your whole body. Anyway that’s my method
For me putting it on paper was a relaxing ritual if somewhat frustrating due to sometimes shaky hands. (as contradictory as that sounds) Was a great way to close my workout and hit my day. I’d shower and while I’m still in a towel write down everything I did. It really helps keep me motivated to do everything right since at the end of the workout when I’m writing it down, I get a boost of confidence knowing I did it right it feels like meditating.
Ah yes, the classic KISS formula.
Keep It Simple Stupid.
Words I live by.
He’s a completely different person now
This is how I track it: https://www.instagram.com/p/B-NUwi3BPZ6/
Try Fitnotes app on Google Play….changes your life
I downloaded a Microsoft Excel spread sheet onto my phone and it was great for awhile but then I got sick of it….LOL, then I went back to using a notebook and got tired of dragging a notebook and a pen all around the gym with me….(along with my phone and a bottle of water). Siiigghhh, so I stopped and just go in and work out but now I am starting to kind of be all over the place with my workouts. And I need to change my workout too. Help?
I’m like one of 3 people I see in the gym that uses an actual notebook. Love the videos
Use apps save paper!!
No use paper and save big tech from taking over.
anyone take an ipad or table to track workouts in notes? for example using the apple pencil?
thanks bro
I’ve created a simple Excel spreadsheet and fill it in.
What’s different about your thought process now versus when you filmed this, and what is the biggest change you’ve made in the last year for the results you have gotten personally?
I use " Simple work out log " great app, should try it.
What are you guys looking for specifically in a fitness journal?
Thanks!! I’m 59 still lift religiously and have always written out all of my workouts… I’m old, lol
Apps are over rated sometimes. Keep it simple, stupid is the best way to go. 👍🏽
I’ve been using FitNotes – super simple, free app. Easy to scroll through previous workouts, and everything you need.
Man I train til I can’t
I’ve tried apps but they are tricky to use and sometimes I get distracted with social media or emails. I use this fitness planner > https://on-track.co/collections/frontpage/products/the-complete-fitness-tracker it’s easy to use and helps me stay accountable.
i use google sheets.

‘Strong’ is probably the best and most simple way to note and track your progress!
Awesome knowledge, appreciate it so much also can you make a video about Vegan Bodybuilding and your thoughts about the subject.. Thanks.

Best app I ever used is – Daily Strenght "Gym Workout Tracker & Planner for Weight Lifting" super long name I know, but it’s amazing. It’s on Andriod.
You have the best videos on YouTube 🤘
Same thing with my food tracking! I do it all in the notes app, super simple and effective and is way easier than any of the apps.
