Logging In

So, I have noticed lately that the number of people logging their workouts on-line seems to be remaining the same but our gym keeps growing! For all you new people, and even those who have been here for a while but may have fallen off the wagon, this is a reminder about the importance of logging all of your workouts.

When we log our performance, we essentially give ourselves not only a way of measuring change, but also a handy reference for our WOD weights and times. (eg. If we have our 1 rep max logged online, we can interpolate what weights or scaling will be appropriate.)

A few years ago one of our members designed a program call MY FRAN TIME, named after the famous benchmark workout “Fran”.This site is a very powerful online tool for recording your workouts, setting goals and seeing your improvement. While this is the online logging program we at the Zone recommend, it is not the only one out there to use. What IS important is that somewhere, somehow, you are recording what you did, what weight you used and how it felt. Years later, when you look back at your progress, it is great to see how the weights you struggled with are now part of your warm-up!

Remember; if you didn’t write it down….it didn’t happen!

If you do not know how to record your results online, look in your Success Journal for the directions
