Using P90X Charts for Motivation

j0406774Taking on an extreme fitness program requires extreme dedication. Some would say motivation is required as well. Personally, I believe motivation is highly over-rated. I say this because with any active lifestyle, there will be days when motivation is completely nonexistent. Some days you won’t feel like working out at all.

 

The key to fitness success is forging ahead even on those days when you would rather just sit back and take a “day off”. Once you learn to accept that there will be days where motivation is nowhere to be seen, getting through those days seem slightly easier. However, in an effort to minimize the frequency of those days, may we suggest using tools to increase motivation—tools like P90X charts.

 

P90X charts are just one potential tool to add to your motivational toolbox. Just like before and after photos, motivational quotes, and a support system, P90X charts are just one option that can make the difference in your daily workouts.

 

P90X charts, found in the back of your Fitness Guide are designed to track your daily P90X workouts. In them you will find spaces to enter what workout move you did, what level of resistance you used, and even how you felt. The motivation comes when you use the P90X charts to see your progress over time.

 

On day 15 of the P90X program, I promise that you can flip back to your entries on day 1 in your P90X chart and see some progress already being made. When you truly “Bring It” to these P90X workouts you will be amazed at the progress you make and flipping back through previous weeks you will find motivation in that progress.

 

P90X charts are used to help you track your progress, to help you know which weight to pick up and lastly, to motivate you. For when those days arrive that motivation is nowhere to be found, you may just get a twinge of extra pep from paging through your P90X charts.

Using Your P90X Worksheets

p90x-iThe P90X program is made for maximum results. As if the workouts themselves weren’t enough, you also get a nutrition guide with the plan that will further push your body into fitness success. Before you begin the program you may think that 90 days seems like a short amount of time. Into your first week, however, that 90 days seems like a small glimmer on a distant horizon. Using tools like the P90X worksheets to track your progress can help keep you on track.

 

P90X worksheets are designed to serve several purposes. Primarily, however, they are created to make your workouts more seamless and more productive. When you are doing the P90X workouts, you can’t expect to remember how many of each move you did and what level of resistance you used. Without the P90X worksheets, you are left fumbling for the right weight to get you the right amount of resistance. However, when you effectively use the worksheets, you can glance at the last workout and know right away which accessory to reach for.

 

In addition to making your resistance choices easier, the P90X worksheets are a great way for tracking progress. Just like measurements and checking the scale can give you a sense of when you need to step it up a notch or when you are making good progress, P90X worksheets are an excellent tool to see how far you have come. Looking back over the weeks during the P90X program, you can see as your body begins to increase strength and feel better while doing what you may have once thought to be impossible.

 

P90X worksheets are just one of the many tools that come with the P90X program. If you ordered P90X from ExtremeBody Workout and need additional P90X worksheets, contact our customer service department with your order number for assistance.

Using Workout Log Sheets for Tracking Success

j0428638There is nothing better than the feeling of accomplishment that goes with achieving fitness goals. While bigger goals mean greater satisfaction little goals can be motivational and quite rewarding as well. By setting monthly or even weekly goals you can take an additional step towards your fitness success and the positive confidence that go along with it. Workout log sheets are a great way to track these goals and see how you are progressing towards the longer term ones as well.

 

Workout log sheets are the perfect tool for tracking success. Depending on the log sheet you use, you can track your daily workouts including time, intensity, and durations. You can also record the things that may affect the quality of your workout like your mood, food intake, or even what time of day you workout. Workout log sheets can reveal numerous things you wouldn’t normally notice about your workouts.

 

One of the great things about using workout log sheets is seeing how your abilities evolve from day to day. If you use strength training as a part of your daily workouts, workout log sheets can reveal just how your reps and weight limits increase. Additionally, a quick look at the workout log sheet lets you know what weight to pick up this time.

 

Many high quality workout programs come with their own workout specific log sheets. These are a great way to follow along on an organized program. P90X is the perfect example of a highly organized workout system with workout log sheets. This workout program pulls no punches on tracking progress and ensuring you are working out at the appropriate level. In this regard, the P90X workout log sheets are the perfect accompanying tool to this program.

Workout Sheets for P90X and Beyond

j04286381Workout sheets provide a way to track progress and chart your workouts. They are a great tool and one whose usefulness shouldn’t be underestimated. Tracking tools are a necessity when trying to get fit and challenging your body to become stronger. Workout sheets like those that come with the P90X program are a crucial component to tracking and maintaining consistency in your workouts.

 

The P90X workout sheets or logs allow you to track reps and sets as well as how much weight you use. All three of these components are important when using or designing a workout sheet for your fitness routine. Knowing what you did last week and the week before can seriously assist you when determining which weight to pick up this week.

 

Workout sheets can make your transition from set to set a lot easier. If you have ever tried a weight training regimen without workout sheets you know how it can take a while to find the right weight. Picking up one too light you will quickly realize you won’t get the benefits you want. If you pick up one too heavy you will max out way to early.

 

One of the greatest sense of accomplishment can come from looking through past workout sheets and logs. As you fill a sheet or recreate another one, save the old workout sheets somewhere. As your fitness level becomes more advanced you will be able to look back and be amazed at your progress.

 

Use the workout sheets to also document how the workout felt. Did you eat before hand and how did that affect your workout? Late night the night before? Mention that on your workout sheet so you can see how that may have affected today’s workout.

 

Workout sheets have the potential to change the quality of your workout and your level of satisfaction as well. Using the workout sheets that came with the high quality p90x program or designing your own, if you give them a few weeks you will see their benefits and you will never go back to working out without them.

Do I Have to Use the P90X Workoutsheets?

115426_dumbbellsOne of the great things about being human is we have the luxury of free will. We make our own decisions based on our beliefs and what we want out of life. So, the easy answer to this question is “no”, you don’t have to use the P90X workoutsheets.

How a Printable Workout Log Can Help

j0406774A few years back a study came out about the effectiveness of using a food diary while dieting. The research showed that people who diligently tracked what they ate made more progress on their weight loss goals and were more likely to keep the weight off. Similarly, using a printable workout log can increase your progress on a fitness program. 

When you track your progress you can immediately see your improvements. With programs like P90X and ChaLEAN Extreme you may track what weight you used and how many reps you completed on your printable workout log. As your strength improves your reps and weights will increase, allowing for visual confirmation of your hard work.

 

It feels good to see those numbers grow. As you work harder and get stronger you will be rewarded by the growth on your printable workout log.

 

Similarly, many runners use printable workout logs. This allows them to mark how far they ran, their speed, the weather, and how they felt. This allows athletes to pay attention to factors that can influence their workout. For instance if a run is easier when the weather is cooler.

 

Adding your opinion of the workout to your printable workout log is a great idea. You may learn that you have better workouts in the evenings or after a light snack. Perhaps you finish your workouts stronger if you do them first thing in the morning, however. Little things you may not have noticed previously become obvious when using a printable workout log.

 

Use them to track your physical progress as well as your mental state and how you feel after a workout. Workout logs have many benefits and pushing you towards your goals is just one of them.
