I'm looking forward to doing some strength training in about 6 weeks or so.

I have been using the app Jefit since the start. Great motivation to see where I was at etc. Also you can put in a timer in between sets to keep you from slacking off. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78160-weight-training-for-beginners/page/414/#findComment-1645782 Share on other sites More sharing options...

An app is an easy way to do that. I just have my workouts memorized and don't necessarily keep track in that sort of way.

It's definately a great motivator seeing your past lifts. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78160-weight-training-for-beginners/page/414/#findComment-1645793 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a good looking graph from myfitnesspal where I lost 10kg or so then slowly put it back on in the form of (mostly) muscle. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78160-weight-training-for-beginners/page/414/#findComment-1645799 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might check out the app kink mentioned or one similar as I currently reference a photo of my workout that was written up by a trainer so something more useful could be good. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78160-weight-training-for-beginners/page/414/#findComment-1645866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
