What is Tracking, and Why Should I do it?


Tracking your fitness and nutrition, just as the term implies, will help keep you on track in your current healthy and fit lifestyle or in getting there. Whether you're overweight, underweight, want to tone, or want to stay in shape, tracking your goals and your everyday fitness is an important component of your healthy lifestyle regime.

I must admit, I am not always consistent in tracking what I put in my mouth nor am I always consistent in keeping track of the time I spend exercising, but one thing is for sure, I get back on track! I used to think I should only log my fitness and nutrition when I was trying to lose weight, but have since found that it's an amazing tool for maintaining as well. Looking at the workouts I've done and they way that I have eaten helps me realize what workouts work best, when I need to change up my routine, and when to make changes in my nutrition.

Here is a link to where I track my fitness and nutrition if you'd like to try it out for free: https://home.trainingpeaks.com/create-account-personal-edition.aspx?cid=335273

and another site I used to use, but am not so active on now, though I know it is very effective: http://www.sparkpeople.com/

Every Tuesday I'll blog about more tips and tricks for tracking, in the meantime if you have any questions or just need a boost to get started, pop by the LC Fitness facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/San-Luis-Obispo-CA/LC-Fitness/72043499171?ref=ts
