This book was
born from the experience that recording weight training workouts
regularly, including the specific exercises, weights, repetitions
and sets, "keeps the pressure on" to continually
improve. It also aids in getting results. Having a record of
prior weeks'
and prior months' workouts enables you to see the changes that
can be made in the elements of your workout, changes that are
necessary for progress and to prevent boredom.
There are other logs or journals designed
for recording strength training workouts, but most are either intended
for intense bodybuilding or include space for recording daily food
consumption and other health-related activities. Few, if any, are
directed at non-bodybuilders and are as straight-forward, uncluttered,
and easy to maintain as Every Body's Weight Training Log.
This
book is easy to keep wirh you and use while you workout -- whether
at the gym, health club, or home. Each workout chart provides space
for 8 exercises and 4 sets per exercise. If you plan ahead, perhaps
making a weekly plan of exercises, you will enter on a chart the
individual exercises that you will perform (for example, dumbbell
bicep curl) for a workout and the weight for the first set and perhaps
succeeding sets -- of each exercise. Or you may prefer to choose
the exercises and complete the chart "as you go," during
your workout. However you record your strength training, Every Body's
Weight Training Log will provide direction for your workout -- and
keep you motivated.
To make muscles grow, you need
to work them harder. To work them harder, you need to remember
what you did the day before. Keep a log of what you do each
week and challenge yourself to beat those numbers every month. |
