What is a training diary and how to use it
The Training Diary (TD) is a tool designed for planning and recording workouts, especially classic strength training in the gym.
What it is for
- planning workouts
- recording workouts
Key advantages over paper tracking
No need to rewrite the same exercises every time
Create a new workout easily based on your previous session or a prepared training plan. Exercise structure and notes can be copied with one click.
See your previous performance while training
For each exercise, you can view past sets, reps, and weights directly in the exercise detail. This helps you choose the right load for your current workout.
Why it is important to keep records
Successful progress in training (increasing strength, muscle growth or fat loss) is related to gradually increasing the load, such as weight, number of repetitions and overall training intensity. That is why it is important to keep clear records of your workouts.
What you can track
In addition to exercises, you can record:
- training weights
- number of reps
- notes for individual sets
Performance analysis
In the overview of each exercise, you can view statistics and performance history. You can compare workouts, track progress and analyze performance in sets. You also have an overview of your best-performing sets.
