It’s January, time for all good “January Joiners” to re-up at the gym, and start in on that resolution to lose weight and exercise more.<\/p>\n

This is one way to create a workout log that’s easy to keep in your pocket when you go to the gym.\u00a0 Logging your workout will help you track your progress. I also find that having a written workout plan, with the details of each exercise listed, is a great help to getting through a workout efficiently.<\/p>\n

The original idea came from a Lifehacker posting at
\nhttp:\/\/lifehacker.com\/369766\/track-travel-and-workouts-with-a-pocketmod<\/a>.\u00a0 This is how I implemented it.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Create your Plan<\/h3>\n

Using any word processor or text editing tool, create an 8 page document
\nwith your workout plan.\u00a0 Here is a workoutplan template<\/a> for one possible format, adjust as you like.\u00a0 Just remember that this 8 page document is going to be printed on a single piece of paper, so keep your font choices large enough to read.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Save as PDF<\/h3>\n

Save your file as a PDF document.\u00a0 If your word processor doesn’t have
\nthat ability built in, install a “Print to PDF” tool.\u00a0 Google “free pdf” and select one of many.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Convert PDF to PocketMod<\/h3>\n

Download and install PDFtoPocketmod from
\n http:\/\/www.pocketmod.com\/files\/PDFtoPocketmod.exe<\/a>.\u00a0 Run the program, and open the PDF file you created in step 2. Select “Save as PocketMod”
\nto create the one page document you’ll be folding.\u00a0 Be aware that this
\nis currently beta software, and a little flaky.\u00a0 I sometimes have to
\ntell it to save twice before it works, and it seems to be better if
\nI have the cursor on the “Save as type” dropdown when I select “Save”.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Print and fold<\/h3>\n

Print the page you created in step 3, and follow the instructions at
\nhttp:\/\/www.pocketmod.com\/howto\/<\/a>
\nto fold into a booklet.<\/p>\n

Enjoy your workout!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
