Athletes everywhere know the secret to keeping track of their diet and fitness level is by keeping a journal. Eating right and exercising are main components to staying in shape, but if you really want to see your performance soar, then start keeping track of your efforts by beginning a fitness journal. It’s easy, inexpensive, and can be lots of fun.
From everything you eat and drink to all of the physical activities that you engage in, a fitness journal will bring you closer to your goals. It’s a really low-cost method that almost always guarantees success. The only reason a woman doesn’t succeed when keeping a fitness journal is because she gives up before reaching her goal.
Fitness journals are successful because they keep you accountable and encourage honesty about the foods you eat and how much exercise you are really doing. All too often, we make estimates of our daily intake and even about the difficulty level of our workouts. The success of your journal demands honesty from you in order to give you the results you desire.
Keeping a fitness journal makes it easy to remember the exercises you have been doing and how far you have progressed from one workout session to the next. Writing down the exercise and visualizing the execution are all part of the mind, body and spirit connection. The journal will help you to remember every exercise and make it easy to keep track of how many repetitions work best for you.
Starting a new workout usually involves learning new exercises and developing new skills. Keeping a fitness journal allows you to take a few minutes to process what you have learned, repeat the concepts to yourself, and train your brain to put it into action. From one workout to the next, it can be difficult to remember which kettlebell you used or how much weight you lifted on your previous workout. You can also keep track of how much time you spend at different fitness levels, from a slow pace to a fast pace to a full aerobic workout.
Every successful diet and fitness program depends on accountability. Get a jump-start on your weight loss goals and start living a healthier, happier life. Journaling is the secret tool for all those women who desire a beautiful body, so begin your journaling journey today.
