How to Create Exercise Logs

If you are looking for a way to track your daily or weekly exercise, an exercise log is a good way to see at a glance what you've done.

Having an exercise chart or log makes you accountable for your exercise, and might motivate you to stick to your program.

Here's how to make your own exercise log, or keep track of one online.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
