With our recent upgrade of the Wodify app (click HERE if you haven’t downloaded it yet!), it might be worth a reminder about logging results.
We make a big deal in the gym of counting your reps, your rounds, how much weight you lift, how fast you go etc.
But of course it’s not the counting the first time that is the most important. It’s the second and the third time.
The first time you do anything, it doesn’t really matter how you go. What’s important is the effort you put in to surpass that work the next time.
In fact, it doesn’t even matter WHAT you do. You can walk, run, swim, burpee, situp, hill sprint……heck, do some arm lift thingies with those pink dumbbells you got on an infomercial, as long as you aim to do better the next time you repeat that particular workout.
This also builds a strong case for some variance in your training too, as it’s hard to continually improve if you do the same thing over and over. The amount of times I see a workout app posting to Facebook on behalf of someone, and it’s the same 4.7km run around their neighbourhood, at the exact same 6.2min pace….. Of course it’s great to be exercising, but after the first couple of runs, your body has adapted to the stimulus, you got to mix it up….
Run longer, run faster, run shorter, run hills, run trails, change it up, and then beat your time/distance/speed the next time you hit that same workout.
And of course, attendance at the gym is our favourite metric to track. If you don’t turn up, you can’t get better! Whether it’s a group class, individual rehab work or some of our PLUS bonus programming, make it an appointment, and stick to it.
