Book Description

February 15, 1998
The Motivator is designed to help you track your progress on your own personal workout program. You select which body parts to focus on, which exercises to use and which days to do them. After you've developed your program, use The Motivator to record all of your actual workouts.

The Motivator works as your competitor! How? It will contain records of your prior workouts--the exercises, the sets, the repetitions and the weights you used--so you can easily see your prior achievements in a visual format. Knowing what you accomplished in your previous workouts will force you to set tougher goals for future workouts.

Not only does The Motivator make your overall accomplishments real and exciting, it helps you identify the particular exercises and programs which have brought you the greatest success. It lets you know when you're right on track, when your progress is slowing or if you need to change your program. It also helps you notice if certain muscles or body parts aren't developing the way you'd like. And as such, you can adjust your workout by changing the sets, reps, weights, or by adding new exercises altogether.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for the non "bodybuilder", April 16, 2001

This review is from: The Motivator: Your Personal Workout Log (Spiral-bound)
This book is not broken into "daily" sections. Each page is dedicated to a specific exercise and you enter the dates for that exercise only. The cardio log is on a separate page entirely. This might be better for power-lifters or the occasional weightlifter but not for fitness fanatics who vary their routine or like to see an entire daily workout on one page. Most women seem to prefer a "daily" type of journal entry style workout log. I gave this book to my husband to use who exercises 2-3 times a week and is more interested in his "strength progress".

5.0 out of 5 stars I see my progress and it makes me work even harder., April 22, 2000
By 
This review is from: The Motivator: Your Personal Workout Log (Spiral-bound)
This training diary is perfect. I workout alone so keeping track of my results acts as my competition. Before I workout, I look at my prior achievements. My records show me how I did on my previous workout which forces me to set tougher goals for the present workout. This is how I consistently progress. I believe everyone could benefit from keeping track of their progress and I think the best way to do that is to use The Motivator. Another nice thing about this log is that anyone can use it for their own personal workout routine. It doesn't try and steer you in one direction or another. It is exactly what it says it is, a workout log. I have ran into problems ordering other workout logs because they contain so much other stuff (suggested exercise routines & nutritional information) that I don't need. There are other books for that. I just wanted an easy-to-use, straight forward workout log to track my progress.....and I got it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Motivator is a great "motivator"., May 15, 2001
By 
Jeff Smith (Overland Park) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Motivator: Your Personal Workout Log (Spiral-bound)
I purchased the Motivator based on the recommendation of another exercise nut. I have been using a card provided by my club to write down my workouts. What I like about this tracking device is it forced me to really think about my workout regimen and to carefully plan how I would approach each workout (and record results). I could have done this without this book, but the book helped me with my organization and motivated me to follow my regimen. I think it's a really good book (and cheap).
