Here’s a selection of log sheets we use at Mountain Fitness Center. We recommend tracking your exercise on a regular basis.
- Its motivating to see your momentum
- So you can make better decisions
- So you can communicate with the people who help you with your health.
Exercise habits are more prone to drastic changes and easier to record than dietary habits, so we recommend keeping a continuous log of your exercise and intermittent logs of your diet.
A 3-ring binder seems to be the best way for us to keep track of things. I like this format because it’s easy to keep everything in one place, from blood profiles to body composition scans to exercise logs. Any study or analysis work can be done very quickly this way, plus you have the ability to bring your binder to anyone you’re asking for advice and show them what you’ve been doing.

For the Detail version of the nutrition log, you’ll need some measuring tools. These are,
- Food scale. Try to get one with a “tare” feature so you can account for plates, containers, etc.
- A set of Measuring Cups
- A set of Tablespoons
