5.0 out of 5 stars Workout Log for Real Workouts, July 2, 2000

By 

"neverbebigenuff" - See all my reviews

This review is from: No Pain No Gain: Training Journal (Spiral-bound)

If you are looking for a work-out log that can take a beating and doesn't have lots of charts, photos and other wasted space, this is it. Geared toward bodybuilders and weight lifters, with little space for cardio or aerobics info. It has a conversion table, anatomy charts and some "goal" pages in the back, but the meat of the book is dedicated to being a work-out log, plain and simple. It's tuff enough to be tossed around without losing it's cover or pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good training manual, October 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: No Pain No Gain: Training Journal (Spiral-bound)

I used a composition book for recording my workouts prior to buying this training journal, so I don't really have another journal to compare it to. However, I found exactly what I was looking for with this journal: easy to use one page entries for each workout day; record specific weights used for each exercise set; room to write cardio exercises on same workout page; and room for many sets within one exercise group. In fact, there's room for about 15-20 exercises with about 10-15 sets per exercise on each separate workout page. For people who are mostly involved in stair masters, stationary bikes, or other cardio exercises, this is NOT the book for you. Instead, for those of you who mostly lift weights...welcome home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Journal for Serious Fitness, May 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: No Pain No Gain: Training Journal (Spiral-bound)

If you are looking for a no-frills, straight-forward training journal, look no further. Perhaps best suited for more experienced exercisers because of lack of descriptions of exercises or anatomy. GREAT for simply recording the exercises, weights used and reps. Has an area for recording your cardio workouts or making other notes. There is enough room on the pages to to record dietary intake for the day as well. The back pages have spaces to record measurments and other notes. I bought one at the beginning of the year, and am buying my second one now.
