The Flogg is perfect for anyone trying to track food and exercise. The layout has two full pages for one day. The exercise page has two seperate sections for cardio, each with 3 lines. Perfect if you are doing two a days or just do a few different machines during your cardio sections. There are spots to record level, heart rate, calories burned and duration. There is also a huge section for strength training (10 lines) with spaces to record weight, reps, sets, and muscle group. Below those is a notes section, which I LOVE for recording how I felt that day, and a Training Evaluation section with spaces to record hours slept, appetite, energy level, mood, location, trainer name, and a little spot for them to initial if you want to.

The food section has 6 divided areas, breafast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. This is great for someone like me who eats often through the day and after workouts. Each of the snack sections are kind of small (2 lines) but the main meal sections are very big (5 lines). There are areas to record fat, sat fat, carbs, sugar, and protein. I don't record all those specific macronutrients, but I like that even if I don't want to record a certain one, I still have space to record the one I want w/o squeezing it in somewhere.

In addition to the space for the food/exercise, there are spots to check if your supplement was taken that day (which I usually record specifically in the notes section), weight, chest/waist/hip measurements, and water intake.

Outside the actual journaling, I love the progress pages in the back! My trainer does an assessment every 6-8 weeks and I record all the results in my Flogg. It doesn't match up perfectly, but there is enough room to write notes about the assessments. I also record accomplishments in the Additional Notes pages in the back sometimes. And it's really nice to see the progress over time, especially when you can flip back to it when you are having a bad day. There is a little built in envelope for pictures, notes, or whatever else you'd like to stick in there. I keep my nutrition program back there.

Honesly I can't imagine anything I'd do to improve this product. It has a small sleek sturdy design that fits in my purse, briefcase, and gym bag. And it really does have all the space I need to record everything. I love it!

Most journals lack some vital component. Many track exercise, but the food tracking doesnt let one write breakfast, lunch dinner and calories per meal with total. OR there is a great food section, but a small section for the fitness exercise section. THIS journal has everything: highlights 1) before and after picture section with measurements, 2) section to track your weight and measurments for every 2 weeks (for up to 3 months), 3) *daily tracking for an entire 3 months , 4) daily pages have aerobic sections (more than one!- toning and 2 aerobic/cardio), food section (breakfast, lunch dinner with calorie total). all the necessary components to be succesful this time.

I purchased this journal after deciding that I needed something better than just a regular notebook to record my food intake and workouts. However, I did not want to spend the $20-30 most companies charge, especially when most journals are only good for 3 or so months. I have to say this journal has been great! It provides general calorie counts for most foods in the back and estimated calorie burn for various activities. I like that it gives spaces to check off water intake, sections for 6 meals, and areas to record your weights workout as well as your cardio workouts. The best part? This journal is good quality and very discrete. It looks like a small, hard cover planner so no one knows what it is! If you want to get serious with your training, or lose some weight, it is a great tool!

I use the flogg to jot down my daily caloric and protein intake, as well as my cardio and strength training workouts. It has been very helpful in meeting my fitness and weight loss goals; so much so, that I'm now on my second journal. This is a quality book that looks just like a moleskin. I highly recommend it for anyone who is serious about meeting his or her health goals.

This journal didn't work for me because there is just too much info crammed onto a page. I found it overwhelming to look at and to try to keep track of. I prefer a simpler format that you can look at and see where you are in your plan. I think they tried to please every type of person and ended up missing the point.

Really like using the Flogg because it replaces a dayplanner I've been using for the past year as I calorie count and try and build muscle! The charts are easy to use and now I have everything in one place...and it looks great at the gym (I take it with me as I do my weights and it's certainly handsome!). And, it's pretty cool to look back on my history and see how things have changed as I've improved my fitness and eating regime.

The only improvement I can think of is that I wish it came in more colours. I'm on my second one and everyone asks me what it is....just wish it came in some crazy colour like pink or orange for the summertime!!!

I am constantly amazed at how much this journal has kept me focused & on track with my weight & fitness goals. Having a different weight problem as most folks do (I have a problem keeping it ON), I used to disregard counting calories & simply ate huge amounts of anything I could get my hands on. As I started using Flogg Daily, imagine my surprise when I realized I was missing my target calorie intake by anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories a day! This journal has an extensive nutrition guide that's very helpful & I have since greatly modified my diet to include foods that'll help pack on the pounds without necessarily clogging my arteries.

Of course, no fitness regimen is complete without an exercise routine. Having less than a professional bodybuilder's motivation to work out means that I have a tendency to fall into a boring routine, become stagnant &, sometimes, inconsistent. By using Flogg, I see the areas where I need improvement, the muscles that might be getting overworked (since I favor exercises that are easy to me =) ), & exercises where I can push myself harder by increasing reps, weight, etc. Flogg has sections that allow you to not only catalogue your reps, weights & sets, but also for type of exercise, time spent & muscle group worked. A small - but critical - section that lets you log hours slept, appetite, energy level & mood helps keep you well rounded & aware of your overall health.

I think the more dedicated folks out there will love the My Flogg Photos section, where you can paste Before & After photos, as well as log pre & post stats. The Progress Pages will help keep you motivated as you keep track of the changes in your body. It certainly helped me at times when I felt like skipping more than a few workouts.

Most notably, Flogg Daily truly does encourage fitness achieved in the most natural & healthy way possible. No fad diets, no promises to help you shed pounds without lifting a finger, but filled with inspiring quotes & helpful tips to keep you on track. I am happy to report that, with Flogg's help, my weight has increased by a very healthy 14%, my cardio & weight training levels have improved & the quality of my sleep has never been better! Used faithfully, I can guarantee you'll not only be impressed by this product, you'll be grateful for it.
