Document - Sundays

People will often overlook the importance of documenting your progress. When you break down why its important it makes sense. I believe that documention in every detail will be your drive and motivation to keep going. Imagine, that you begin a running exercise. When you kept track of how far you run and how long it took you to run it. You'll notice that you get slowly better everytime. You can watch how fast your getting, how much farther your lungs can hold up. How much farther you run as the weeks go by. You can set bigger goals for yourself that are resonable because you have difinitive proof of progression over the last month, you can learn wxactly how your body improves. See what i mean? Its always cool to look back and say "look at how far I've come, this is cool".

I like to call documentation my "List of  Accomplishments".  Yeah I think thats what ill name it My List of Accomplishments.

Im going to go into detail on each health and fitness subject seperately for the next few blogs. This way you can grab however many details you want and apply them to your list of  accomplishment.



DOCUMENT YOUR HIIT:

1. How many rounds of HIIT did you do?

2. How long were your HIIT rounds?

3. How many of each exercise did you do per round?

4. When did you begin sweating?

5. Are you monitoring your heart rate?

6. When did fatigue start? (what round, how far in, which exercise)

7. When did you start adding weights?

8. Are you pushing at full speed, half speed or quarter speed?

9. Do you feel pumped or tired after the workout?

10. How much did you weigh at the beginning of the week?

11. How much do you weigh at the end of the week?

12. Are you measuring yourself weekly and monthly?

13. How sore do you feel after leg, upper body, and core day?

14. Which exercises give you the hardest time?

15. Did you complete the whole workout?

Remember the more detailed you are in your documentation, the more progress you can see first hand. It's easy to get demotivated while working out, thats why so many people stay fat and lazy!!! You are no longer that kind of person!!! You are the person that set a goal and monitors every piece of progress to help you reach your goal. Don't ever give up!! Your Dream Body is right around the corner.
