Book Reviews of BodyMinder Workout and Exercise Journal (A Fitness Diary)

Book Review: 2006 revised edition improvements
Summary: 5 Stars

When looking on Amazon, the search inside feature shows an older edition. After purchasing, I found there have been some improvements.

Notably, the dietary section now includes boxes for breakfast-snack-lunch-snack-dinner-snack. This fits nicely for people who are following a diet that requires them to eat 5-6 small meals per day instead of the old standard of 3 meals. To make room for this, the "Other Exercise" section has been shrunk a bit. Instead of having big check boxes for various activities such as gardening and yoga (which was a waste of space to people who didn't use them), there are now 5 blank lines where you can write in your own activities, whatever they may be.

The cardio workout section has also been reformatted. The cross-country skier and jump rope have been removed, but there are three blank lines where people could add those back if they want.

Anyway, I would say that this was already an excellent product, and it is nice to know that it improves with time. Here are some things I like as compared to other workout journals I looked at.
- I like that it is both a workout and food diary AND gives plenty of space for both. It is important to pay attention to both in order to get and stay fit.
- I like that it has a lot of lines for weight training exercises. Some others did not have near enough for my needs.
- Some other journals I've looked at had much smaller spaces for writing in.
- Some journals had pictures on the cover of fitness models. I don't want to carry something into the gym that looks like the cover of a lady's fitness magazine or a men's muscle magazine either. I prefer the conservative fake leather look of this journal.
- The spiral binding allows it to lay flat for easy use.
- I found the brief section of common food counts handy. Best of all, they left space where I could add my own foods.
- The introductory material is helpful but brief. It tells you how to use the log. It doesn't tell you how to work out.
- It has a good weekly planning section at the beginning and goals/progress section at the end.
- The calendar in the back was handy for reference.

I will definitely buy this one again when I have filled in all the days.
