If you have been training on a consistent basis but cannot seem to make the changes you want to your physique, one of my umber one recommendations is- logging your workouts. Sure- it can be annoying at first, but once you start, you will be happy you did once you start seeing all that progress you have been wanting.
When getting in shape many people find the energy to make it to the gym and break a good sweat, but after a while- that just isn’t good enough. NOW it is time for a challenge. A workout log is the BEST way to keep track of your efforts each day in the gym and learn a base line for yourself. To see results in training, you cannot use the 5 pound dumbbells forever (SORRY!). It is time to pick up the big boy weights. Now i am not talking about going from 10 pound dumbbell curls to 30 pounds. NO- slow down sister. try the 12 or 15 pounders first for an added challenge.
This is in all aspects of training. Try adding a few extra minutes to your cardiovascular routine. Or try going faster than normal. Add in extra repetitions or increase the amount of weight you use. The most important thing here is to LOG each exercise. It is too complicated for your brain to try to remember the number of sets and weights you used, so do yourself a favor and log your workouts. A simple notebook or even a fancy app on your phone for all the techies out there. You can read my full article on the benefits of logging your workouts here. Free workout log is included!
You want to see changes?! Then start putting in the work!
