I’ve tried out many different spreads for tracking exercise. This first video walks you through many of the spreads I’ve tried, from tracking heart rate, steps and time, to setting myself challenges and goals.
For the last few months I’ve moved to a new layout that places slightly less daily pressure on me to enter something into my journal, but still sets me healthy challenges that keep me fit and healthy.
I have two pages for my current exercise tracker. The first is a circle that has 12 spaces. My aim is to exercise outdoors at least twice a week, preferably three times. There’s approximately four weeks in a month, so that means I have three spaces per week to write in an activity. On the second page, I set myself a challenge, which at the moment is usually completing online workouts. These could be yoga, stretching, cardio, or strength workouts, and they’re usually only 5-20 minutes long.
I’ve found it’s a fun way to use sticker sets that have small enough stickers to fit one in each box. I like using my The Washi Tape Shop stickers (please use my affiliate link :)), which come on a roll and have enough variety to keep it interesting – they’re also perfectly sized for the task! There’s no need to use 20 boxes on the challenge spread. You could just as easily have 12 boxes – whatever you think is achievable for you.
I decorate the lot with washi tape like in the video below, or the media that suits that month’s theme, and put a picture on the circle page that relates to the stickers I’m using on the challenge page. I hope you feel inspired!
