Training diary
The keeping of a training diary can help you in
finding the causes when you have not reached
your goals. In this diary you can write down
different information, which can help you to set
up a training program, such as your eating
habits, periods of rest and sleep, remarkable
results etc. A visit to the dentist for example
can influence your training results. If you can
take into account certain circumstances, you
can avoid a stagnation in your results.
Adaptations of your training are usually
important for the intensity of your program, the
succession and the repetitions of the exercises
and the achieving of results.
Summary
Make sure if a fitness training doesn't
•
cause problems for your health.
Evaluate your level of power, endurance,
•
flexibility, speed and coordination before
you start training.
Set realistic goals based on your physical
•
possibilities.
Set up a training program for a longer
•
period (6 to 12 months)
Divide your long term planning up into
•
different cycles (meso cycle) of 4 to 6
weeks.
Make sure there is enough variation in
•
your training. Train on endurance, power
and muscle development.
If you choose for endurance training, vary
between short, mid-long and long training
periods.
During a meso cycle you have to increase the
intensity of the training for endurance as well
as for muscle training. Limit the intensity of the
training in the beginning of every new cycle.
Evaluate regularly your training to make sure
you are on the right track and if you can
achieve your most important goals, if not:
Adapt the next meso cycle
•
Repeat the initial test
•
Do interim tests at the end of every meso
•
cycle
Success
Even after a short period of regular exercises
you will realise that you constantly have to
increase the pedalling resistance to reach your
optimum pulse rate.
The units will be continuously easier and you
will feel a lot fitter during your normal day.
For this achievement you should motivate
yourself to exercise regularly. Choose fixed
hours for your work out and do not start
training too aggressively.
An old saying amongst sportsmen says:
"The most difficult thing about training is to
start it."
Wishing you lots of fun and success with
your exerciser.
