]]> There’s nothing like the feeling of beating your PBR (personal best record) at the gym. It’s exciting and rewarding to know that you are making gains and progressing toward your goals. Besides these big, exciting moments, it can be hard to know if you are progressing. This is why it’s important to track your progress. 

Keep a Fitness Journal

The best way to track this progress is by keeping a fitness journal. There are so many benefits to using a fitness journal, but it’s important to know how to use it. Of course, there are so many different ways to set up a fitness journal, but here are some things you might want to include. 

Keep Notes of Weight Progressions

Every time you go to the gym, you can write down what weight you lifted and for how many reps. Doing this allows you to actually see how much progress you’ve made from the beginning, or if you’re stagnating.

Quick Journal After Gym Session

Another great tip is to journal how you feel after your gym sessions. This can be just as important as the number on the weights. Reading back on how great you feel after a workout can be great motivation for the next time you feel like skipping the gym!

]]> You don’t have to wait until January 1 to get into shape—you can do it any time of the year, but the change won’t happen overnight. Keeping consistent can be hard and you will have good weeks and harder weeks making you second guess your reason for doing this. Here are four steps for creating healthy habits.

Before You Start

Write a list of reasons why you want to exercise and all the physical, social, and mental improvements you will most likely experience from starting this new habit.

Pre-Contemplative

In this initial stage you aren’t even thinking about changing your behavior, you know you want to get healthier and stronger. But chances are you have been down this road a few times and didn’t succeed so you don’t feel you can stick to it this time. Start speaking to a friend who is already exercising and ask for support and accountability when you do start.

Get Ready

Start looking at your reasons WHY you want to create this new healthy habit, stop thinking about the excuses of why not and start thinking about the why you can. Keep connecting to the WHY and this can give you more motivation to just start.

Preparation

In this stage you’re planning—you haven’t fully committed but you are thinking of all the ways you can start. Write out your intentions and start breaking them down into specific doable steps. Keep it simple—you can’t change everything all at once and have specific goals that you know you can stick to.

Action

You’ve made a commitment to start and so you need to be proud of your journey, so keep looking at how far you have come and keep motivating yourself to carry on.
