I’ve made a dashboard to track website traffic, sales, etc. for every business I’ve owned. I also like to use the dashboard in Apple Fitness to check on my cardio workout results and progress. Some may call me a nerd for it but I’m always stoked when I see those metrics going up. The one[…]
I don’t like to dwell about things I wish I’d done sooner but man, do I wish I learned to share lifting workouts with other people sooner. I would’ve gotten the feedback I’ve needed to have better workouts and reach my goals with much less trial and error. Then again, it wasn’t always so easy.[…]
One of my current workout goals is to do a standing kettlebell windmill with 70 lbs for 5 reps. I’ve been working toward this for a little more than a month and am using a spreadsheet to record my progress. Tracking my strength gains toward my 70 lb windmill goal with a spreadsheet helps me[…]

The best kettlebell workout tracker is a spreadsheet. My wife Monica and I track every swing, squat, press, and row we do in our own Google Sheets ™ files. I wish I had realized this years ago. I would be able to look back at old workouts to recall what I’ve done for motivation, planning[…]
Keeping track of the time you rest between sets is like flossing your teeth. Both are good for us and don’t take much time or effort. But for some reason, we often neglect doing either of them regularly. There’s a few reasons why tracking rest periods between sets is ignored. One is that it seems[…]
Management guru Peter Drucker famously said “what’s measured gets improved.” While he was referring to managers tracking sales and other business related stuff, it also applies to our workouts.
