Healthy Tip #3 - Keeping a Workout Journal

The human body can adapt to stresses very easily...so you have to MIX IT UP...Mix up your workouts that is. By keeping your body guessing when you enter the gym your body can't adapt to the stress of your workout...that's a good thing. As long as your body can't adapt you can continue to make progress.

In my journal I keep exercises, weights, reps, and sometimes how I'm feeling...A little "dear diary" never hurt anyone. Everytime I workout it gives me something to refer back to, plus it's an easy motivation tool. If I saw that I got 10 reps last time I did an exercise, then I can try to for 12 this time around. It takes a little getting used to, but now I can't workout with my journal.

Your workout journal doesn't have to be fancy. Just get a notebook and start recording your workouts.
