Reddit reviews The Workout Log

1. Use an app like Libra (android) or Happy Scale (iOS). They average out your weight (see more about this in the Hacker's Diet) and give you a trend line, which helps you to not worry about random fluctuations. Libra doesn't attach photos, but it also doesn't connect to anything. I still highly recommend MFP for calorie tracking, but I don't really log my weight on it.
   
   
2. Amazon music on my phone. If you get bluetooth headphones, they'll usually have buttons you can use to control your music. I don't know how big your phone actually is, but you could always get a flipbelt and put it in there. I have a flipbelt and it will fit a phone with a 5" screen easily.
   
   
3. Do you need GPS functionality? If so, I don't have any recommendations. However, I have owned a fitbit charge HR for about nine months (which you can get for <$100 if you look on ebay, etc.) and I highly recommend it, although it's still a good idea to keep track of your rate of weight loss to compare how your fitbit calorie burn compares to your actual TDEE.
   
   
4. I don't like most apps for tracking lifting workouts. I think they're a pain. I use this notebook off Amazon. Very easy to use.
   
   I can give you more advice on a routine if you tell me your goals. For a weight training beginner who's looking to get stronger, you can't get much simpler than Stronglifts 5x5. If you're interested in a little more hypertrophy work, something like Ice Cream Fitness 5x5 (basically Stronglifts + accessories) or any of the Strong Curves programs are also good.
   
   If you want a single trustworthy place to look for information about weight training and nutrition, I can't recommend strengtheory and anything written by Greg Nuckols highly enough. Very informative, clear, science-backed, no bullshit, and the Art and Science of Lifting ebooks, if you're willing to put down a little cash, are the best all-in-one resource for someone looking to "keep track of it all" that I know of.

Good morning! I'm doing really well today, which is awesome when compared to yesterday. I actually went to bed early and slept like a rock. The fact that it's raining can't even get me bummed.

My scale number is fluctuating randomly, so I'm not paying attention to it much. I don't think my measurements have changed much either, but I'm feeling better, so that's what matters.

I hit all of my goals yesterday, including drinking my BCAAs! I'm so proud of myself. However, I don't think I'm hitting my high intensity level when I'm doing HIIT, so I fixed my heart rate monitor last night and will wear it next Tuesday. I also got a new log book in and it is WONDERFUL. If you lift weights and want a good log book, look no further than this book.

I'm slowly discovering tuna, so if anyone has good tuna recipes, please send them my way. Right now I'm making tuna sandwiches by mixing 4 oz of tuna with 2 tbsp of dijon mustard and 1 tsp of Greek yogurt and then topping it with avocado and cucumber. It's actually pretty dang tasty, so apparently I can randomly mix ingredients together and get a good result.

I use this for tracking workouts.

I'd love to be a part of this. As a side note, at the moment I'm designing a notebook to keep track of habits daily. I've been using this

I tried finding a more general one where I can record how long I meditated, how much I practiced guitar etc. I highly suggest anyone trying to cultivate a habit to get a notebook and record their progress every day.

We we watch a lot of the 360 fitness video's on BB.com the female profiles. the random fitness motivation videos to show her what is possible. We look at a lot of before and after videos too.

I picked up this log for her record her workouts. works great.

I also give her a low dose of preworkout pump juice on those lazy days.

Are you talking like a fitbit or the similar?

I cant wear a fit bit at work so I have This watch and record all my workouts in in this

I've been using a pad to log my workouts while at the gym, but once home I use The Squat Rack to keep track over time.

He's just a guy doing this code in his off time, so as a fellow coder I can respect that and feel good supporting his product. It's also the best tracking software I've seen, besides the manual stuff I used to do for excel.
