Keeping An Activity Log
A great way of monitoring your fitness progress is to keep
a log of your activities. This does not require anything
special – a small notebook or an old diary is more
than sufficient. The log enables you to keep track of the
exercise you do and the energy you expend each day, not
just in training but in daily life. If you know how much
exercise you require the log will provide you with the information
for fine tuning.
Typically you will take a page for each day and entries
might include time taken walking the dog or climbing the
stairs at work as well as your fitness program.
At the end of each day total up the time spent in physical
endeavour. The aim is to increase your energy expenditure
stepwise each week.
The log has the added bonus of identifying for you times
of the day when you might increase your physical output.
