improvements.
Another way of keeping track of one’s progress is quite simple, and requires no
certifications. Get a logbook. These books are not only cheap and easy to find, they can
prove to be motivators in themselves. By looking through past workouts, you can see what
areas are not progressing as you may wish, and thus you can focus attention on these areas.
By recording dates, you can deduce what occurrences may be holding you back from getting
into the gym as frequently as you wish (“Must See TV”). I urge my clients to set their own
personal “mini goals” and try to break them in a set amount of time. An example of this
would be an individual trying to increase their bench press. I would recommend trying to
increase one aspect of the bench press each time they are in the gym. By looking to their
logbook for the results of their last bench workout, they can attempt to increase the number
of reps in any sets, or increase the weight by small amounts. One of the biggest things I rely
on my logbook for is simply remembering what I am supposed to be doing that day. I’m sure
many people are in the same boat as I am and just have too much
other stuff to remember to be able to recall exactly the weight and
reps from an exercise done days before. At the very least, logbooks
give you something to do while you’re in your rest period. Instead of
just sitting like a bump on a log, you can be planning your next set,
or next exercise, and the rest periods will become less boring.
Whether you’re just getting started, or have been hardcore for quite
some time, being aware of progress is essential to success.

71 Weight Loss Tips and Secrets
1. Write it down: Studies have shown that simply writing down your workouts will help
keep you in the gym longer and keep you progressing. Try a workout diary or log.
2. Workout with a buddy: Working out with a partner increases motivation.
3. Plan your meals out every Sunday: It will help keep you on track.
4. Progressive overload: Progressive overload is extremely important for fat burn and
muscle gain.
5. Eat 6 times a day: Eating more often boosts your metabolism throughout the day.
6. Set realistic expectations: To lose weight using a proper diet and exercise plan
expect to lose 1-3 pounds a week. Chances are that if you are losing more than that
you're probably cheating with pills or taking some sort of diaretic.
7. Stop dieting: YOYO diets or pills are NOT good for your body, so dont do it!
8. If you're hungry at night have cereal. A recent research study concluded that
people that snacked on cereal instead of their chips counterparts lost more weight.
9. FOCUS. The gym was created for working out not taking 10 minute breaks between
sets.
10. Prioritize your goals: What do you want to get out of your workouts? Why not train
