An aerobics training log allows for optimal progress. See Adaptation Criteria. The shorthand method of recording aerobic training progress can save much time in writing. The traditional system calls for the intensity and duration performed to be recorded under a date column for every workout. The shorthand method requires an initial duration and intensity to be recorded for the activity. A new duration or intensity is recorded periodically only when changed. Columns represent intensity or duration increases, not dates.
A) Cycling | Watts | 75 | 100 | ||||||
RPM | 60 | 70 | 80 | 60 | 70 | ||||
Minutes | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | |||||
C) Walking | Miles | 1 | 1.25 | 1.5 | 1.75 | 2 | 2.25 | ||
Minutes | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 |
Note: MPH (Km/Hr) can be used in place of minutes if more appropriate.
If a record of dates is desired, record aerobics progress using the traditional method.
