Habit Nest The Weightlifting Gym Buddy Journal A 12-Week Personal Training Program in A Journal. A 12-Week Workout and Exercise Journal/Log. Your Ultimate Fitness Planner.

I love my Journal! I got a gym membership about three months ago and really did not feel comfortable using the gym equipment because I did not have a routine or knowledge of things. With the journal, I was able to consistently go to the gym and actually know what I was doing. I love that I can track my progress with the journal and the examples it provides in the back. I have lost body fat and have gained muscle. It is nice to feel confident when going to the gym and being able to do my job better. I work as a nurse and I have to do a lot of heavy lifting and being able to do the heavy lifting with ease is life changing. This may not work for everyone, but it really worked well for me. The only thing that I wish it had was being spiraled on the side so the book will stay open during workouts and a place to hold my pen. All in all a great product and I look forward to using the other journals they have to offer.

Very nice hardcover workout journal that already has a 12 week plan laid out. There are 60 days of workout plans inside which if you want to get them done in 12 weeks would be 5 times a week. It has tips and directions to perform the lifts required if you are unsure how to perform some of the lifts. I am an intermediate skill level lifter so most I was already using but a few I've never performed before. The only thing the book is missing that I really wish it had was some kind of pen holder. A little elastic band to hold the pen would have been sweet.

Pros: Workouts are straight forward and easy to follow. Great motivating tips and reference pages for how to do the exercises, if needed.Cons: Journal is heavy due to the hardbound cover. No pen/pencil holder. Cumbersome.This journal would be perfect if it were spiral bound and had a place to hold the pen/pencil. For ease of use, I bend the journal back to the page I need to write in vs. opening and closing it every time I'm done with a workout set. So having a spiral bound journal would be easier to use and there would be a place for the writing utensil.The workouts are in order of each muscle part to be worked on for a given day. I often have to scan thru the workouts so I am not bouncing back and forth thru the gym from free weights to machine as there have been several times where the free weight bench or machine is now not available for when i've moved onto the next muscle group.Otherwise, this journal provides me with a plan of workouts when I'm in the gym and it keeps me accountable.

I used to be more into lifting years ago- but like many folks, I got busy with work and life...and got lazy! I wanted to get back into it, but there is just so much information available now, it is hard to put together a program that hits all the major muscle groups but at the same time keeps it interesting. The folks at Habit Nest have really done a great job with this journal! I enjoy each of my workouts because they are all scripted out for you- with drawings and explanations. All you have to do is fill in the reps and weights. There is even space for a 4th set if you want to challenge yourself more. There is introductory information on avoiding injury, proper form, and nutrition as well. It gives a great sense of completion once you get the workout done to see the page filled in completely. You get a lot for the price. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get into lifting. Smart, no nonsense program for a beginner to intermediate lifter. I plan on getting the supplemental journals I have seen on the website once I am done with this one.

Very impressed with this journal. Not only does it motivate you but it provides excellent instructions and planning. This journal is also filled with pictures to show you the exercise and gives the option of alternative exercise. It provides you with a section to write down your reps and weight for each set. It also contains a workout index which explains each exercise. I highly recommend this journal.

I look forward my routines because everyday l get a new prompt/motivation/and explanation based on science how this work!! I am huge believer in the power of habits, but when we (humans) over complicate the process chances are it won’t happen. The Morning Sidekick is simple, motivated and becoming aware of many of my patterns! Highly recommend!

I began my search for a workout journal / logbook with the intentions of finding something that was easy to follow and already planned out the workouts for me. As a person with mild anxiety from time to time, I found myself psyching myself out from going to the gym regularly if I felt overwhelmed and had no plan in place for what I would accomplish that day. Ive attempted to lookup excercises and videos showing proper technique and have been mildly successful in planning ahead. Over time, I realized it would just make my life so much easier if I could just find a full on workout journal with planned out excercises / tracking / tips_hints_etc. This journal is it!! Simple...easy to follow...workouts take 45min to 1hour and push you to better yourself. I wake up each morning, knowing all I need to do is get to the gym. I can flip to page I am on and jump right in without trying to recall which muscle groups I am working that day or what excercises/weights I should be completing. If planning a day to day workout is just one more thing on your plate and preventing you from getting into a routine, then this journal is for you!

I'm on my second week of workouts and I am loving this journal, it takes the guess work out of what to do. Everything is detailed and explained with lots of room to write reps and weight beside each exercise.LOVE this journal.

Love this! Guided instructions. Balanced plan for working the whole body... one workout at a time!Tackles nutrition, and attitude too!So glad I bought this!

Takes the theory out of it and let's you get down to the practice. Full of great insight and tips, perfect workout journal.

Full of great workouts and advice. I'd highly recommend buying if you have any interest in working out/ losing weight. Cant wait for journals 2 -4 to be released now

It was a gift for my son and he loved it.

Perfect

I’ve gotten back into strength training and I’ve been looking for some kind of program to follow so that I’m not aimlessly walking around the gym trying to figure out which machine to do. I kept seeing the ads for the @habitnest Weightlifting Gym Buddy Journal and even though it was exactly what I was looking for I was still sceptical- it was an Instagram ad after all! I checked out their website, read online reviews and read post comments. But I was still sceptical. I sat on it for about a month before I decided to order it and I’m glad I did. It was exactly what I was looking for and more. It provides 60 weeks of programs divided by body parts along with alternatives. You can even record your weights and reps. If you’ve been thinking of getting this book just to it. It’s definitely worth every penny.

I was looking for a well laid out guide to follow - that was not an app.... I wanted to go to the gym, see my workout and follow it. I didn't want to aimlessly wander around the gym thinking about what machines to use. I was hesitant to purchase this at first because of the price, but it was well worth it! My partner and I go and do the exercises together. Its perfect! Highly recommend. We save big bucks since we don't have to go to expensive boot camp gyms. I wanted to do my own version on my own time. Awesome gym guidebook.

This book has a lot of good information but as someone who trains regularly both with a trainer and alone, the workouts are really lacking. It's the same dozen or so workouts repeated in different orders.If you need a good jump start for beginners, it's a great book. But for people who are accustomed to working out regularly, this book is very basic and likely won't do much to improve your workouts.

Beautiful journal with fully laid out 12 week plan with a consistent step by step process that's easy to follow. Really looking forward to working my way through. Also appears as if when finished the process is easily repeatable meaning that your workouts will never be stagnant with slight adjustments

I was at first really apprehensive about ordering this book but ended up going for it. At $50 it's pricey but after getting it and reading it over, looking at the workouts and looking at the links they give you for the workout movements, I think its money well spent. Did my first workout yesterday and wow, are my muscles sore. I'm the type of person that likes working out but I'm crap at remembering a workout plan, so the book is a great size to bring to the gym and look at if you forget what to do. It gives good tips to have the proper form on almost every page. It also gives some nutrition advice which is a nice bonus. I like that the cover is a muted browny grey colour so it's not super conspicuous when you've got it in the gym, though you shouldn't care if people look or not. Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.and

Was a gift - recipient happy with the quality and exercise variety. Due to having purchased it via Amazon though, the customer is limited to having access to the 'extras' so would recommend for the full experience, buy it directly from the company who makes this book.

Excellent book for providing a useful work out program and for keeping you on track. It also easily allows and encourages you to progress your weights and reps from week to week. Lastly each week it mixes things up a little so that you don’t become bored with one routine !
