Printable Exercise Tracker
Are you ready to make exercise a habit in your life? Whether you’re just starting out, a gym rat, or like to exercise at home, our Printable Exercise Tracker is here to help motivate you!
For 30 years, exercise had been a regular occurrence in my life. I had a routine and, if I didn’t exercise, I didn’t feel right. It was just a part of what I did. Then we moved. Our new city had a gym but it was pricey. I resolved to exercise at home and even bought a few weights. Yeah, you know how that goes.
Then, a new gym moved into town and it was affordable! I was so excited, that I joined before they even opened for business. But I was out of my routine. Workouts were few and far between, my pants had shrunk, and I needed motivation to get in the gym even though I had the gym etiquette down. I had to form the habit I had held for so many years. So, I created a Printable Exercise Tracker to get my muffin top under control and a Weight Loss Tracker Printable to track my weight.

How To Use The Exercise Tracker
- Print the Exercise Tracker – found below.
- Write the month at the top.
- Decide how many days a week you plan to exercise.
- Make exercise a part of your routine. For the longest time, my usual routine was to drive the kids to school and go straight to the gym. I didn’t dare go home first because I knew I wouldn’t want to leave the house again.
- After each workout, write in the exercise you did and for how long.
- Keep the Exercise Tracker where you will see it every day so it becomes a priority to get active. It’s easy to get distracted by all the things you need to do so use the printable exercise log as a way to motivate you to fill in those boxes.
- Use bribery! Hey, it worked when we potty-trained our kids! Seriously though, plan a reward for yourself if you exercise your pre-determined days, for the entire month.
- Follow through with your reward! It could be anything from buying yourself a new workout outfit to treating yourself to a massage. If you’re working towards being a debt boss and don’t want to spend money, treat yourself by going on a walk with a friend or permit yourself to binge-watch a show you’ve been wanting to see.
- Use the Exercise Tracker for at least two months. Some people say it takes 21 days to form a habit, while others say it takes 66 days. Play it safe and use the Exercise Tracker for at least two months.
Developing a pleasurable habit, like eating chocolate for breakfast, for instance, may take a day, while trying to exercise at 5 pm each evening may take much longer.

My goal is to do some form of exercise every day. I plan to head to the gym three days a week, walk the dog, and maybe even use the equipment I have at home!
