How to use it
Write each session down straight after you finish it. Seeing the log fill up is a quiet reward, and looking back shows what you actually did.
A tip
Build up slowly and listen to your body. This sheet is a record only. If you are new to exercise or have a health condition, check with a doctor first.

Log it straight after
Fill in the line as soon as you finish: the date, what you did, how long or how far, sets and reps if you count them, and how it felt. It takes under a minute and it is far more accurate than memory.
The "how it felt" column is as useful as the numbers. A session that felt easy last month and hard now tells you something.
Progress without pressure
You do not need to beat last week every week. Aim for turning up. Some weeks the log will show a lighter session and that is fine; it also shows you came back.
If you are new to exercise, or have a health condition or an injury, check with a doctor before you start a new program.
Connect it to the rest
Pair the log with the habit tracker printable to see your streak, or use the Daily Journal Exercise box beside food, sleep and mood on the Today screen. It is free to start.
Questions
Do I need to write sets and reps?
Only if they suit your activity. Leave the column blank for walking or swimming.
Is this a training plan?
No. It is a blank log and gives no advice.
What should I record?
The date, the activity, the time or distance, sets and reps if you use them, and a word on how it felt.
Does it work for walking and yoga too?
Yes. Use the time or distance column and leave sets and reps blank.
How often should I exercise?
That depends on you and your health. The health pages on this site give general information only; ask a doctor for advice that fits you.
