Exercising at home holds many challenges. Accountability being the largest problem. The best way to complete online programs, is to document necessary information your program will provide. Whether it be nutrition, steps taken, minutes exercised, etc; documentation is the key to success.

Building a foundation of doing 

Daily Action: Document that which you desire to improve.

Documentation 

To collect data is to remove interpretation and see facts. Data presents insight into the reality of trends happening as we act daily. Over a period of time, one can gather a true sense of how, why, and where one is progressing. 

I first began collecting data when I joined the Club Powerlifting team at my university. Prior to that, I was a pushups and pull ups kinda guy. Do a bunch each day, and flex for the mirror at night. Our team captain recommended purchasing a notebook and printing out the training plans. After 1 year, the process was clear. I became stronger, more intelligent, and of course, bigger for those nightly mirror flex sessions. Fast forward 19 years and I can see the representation of the in my bodies excellent capacity for fitness. Every injury was a data point not collected. Every failed goal was a session not completed. Every muscle functioning as I desired was a data point corrected or added. The proof was in the data. I studied my way to this point. I will continue to study as I grow and shape my body. You must DO the same. 

Documentation creates an unbiased resource of proof.

Data serves a secondary purpose. It removes fear and doubt. Fear and doubt are memories from the past we believe we are subject to. Data presents a more clear representation of truth. We are subject to that which we choose. Data allows us to see where our choices are taking us. Plain and simple…. it removes the bullshit from our thoughts. 

Creating an unbiased source to compare yourself against is a bit nasty. To be truthful, it goes right for the ego. I struggled with this notion of grandeur for many years. I believed it was all my awesomeness sculpting my body. When the plan did not work, it was all my stupidity that killed it. This nasty truth took me to dark places. In the end, data pulled me back to the light. Our ego can propel us backward just as quickly as forward. Most of the time, our ego fools us into thinking we have a choice. Data provides the choice. The unbiased choice which will progress you. You must document. DO.

Documentation creates positive results.

The human mind can barely process 24 hrs of information correctly. Give a human mind a year, and we have forgotten. Written data over a period of a year or longer will expose the true nature of our experiences. Therefore, data offers evidence based guidance. Your true fitness will become clear to you. 

I have studied and restudied my training logs. I have compared measurements to hundreds of other measurements. Each time I search the past, the future is provided for me. Whether it be an old goal still in progress, or a new perspective on a training plan; the past always provides a path into the future. Every time I find a path forward, I now have confidence to DO. I have been here before. I have successfully completed this already. Now, I can easily do it again! You will DO the same. 

Documentation provides an Unshakable Foundation.

In truth, we are the reason we fail or succeed at anything. Data will provide a foundation of reference that is Unshakable. We cannot fail if our intent is to learn after every repetition. Creating a personalized fitness program will see us through injuries of the body and the mind. Unshakable Fitness starts with YOU!
