Enter details about your workouts. Briefly describe the exercise that you did and the amount of repetitions. When playing sports, it is generally best to enter the amount of time that you spent in the activity. Many people also like to include a brief description of the weather if they are working out outside and a brief description of how they felt after exercising. This is helpful in identifying trends.CrossFit Journal
