Bullet Journal Workout Tracker
When trying to improve your fitness, bullet journal spreads can be very motivating.
I have run one marathon, tens of half marathons, and done many triathlons. Each time I trained for an event, I set a goal, divided it into steps, and set a workout schedule accordingly. I then tracked each actual workout compared to the original planned workout. I believe in setting fitness goals and tracking my workouts. It keeps me on track and accountable.
Select a fitness tracker bullet journal style from the selection below. You can edit each template to suit your needs. Either use an individual spread or create an entire workout bullet journal devoted to fitness, exercise, and health. If you don’t find a layout you love, you can create your own. The bullet journal app offers many templates to section your page and different tables you can use. You can add text/titles and doodles or other elements. Click on any image below to open the app.

Motivational Spreads
Make these free fitness motivational spreads your own by editing the text and changing the doodles. Every single element on the page is editable, so create a spread that works for you! Finding motivation is something I struggle with. When I am not sure how to find motivation to workout, I open my planner and read this page. I also keep a copy in my bedroom and in the area where I workout at home.

You can use the running tracker for other purposes as well, such as to track walking if you prefer a walking log. If you want to calculate your total mileage, then select the running log spreadsheet which will calculate the total miles you ran for any given period.

How to Make a Fitness Planner Book
Using a binder will give you more freedom to add pages as you go, but you can also create a notebook.
- Select the pages you want to include in your fitness planner book. There might be certain pages that you want to include more than one copy of.
- Sort all the pages in the order you prefer.
- Insert into a binder or go to your nearest office supply store to have them bound into a book. If you are using a binder, then you might want to add a binder cover.
Tip: If you want to create a fitness notebook, you can add some blank pages before you have the pages bound.
If you only want to make a workout logbook without the other printables, then print only those that you want to include in your workout planner.

How and Why to Keep a Fitness Journal
What is the purpose of a fitness log?
A fitness log keeps track of your workouts and your progress to ensure that you achieve your fitness goals. Some people have specific goals whereas others just want to see progress and improvement.
What are the benefits of a workout journal?
- Set goals
- Reach goals progressively. When you go too fast, you risk getting injured. When you set goals and plan to reach them slowly, you can prevent injury. For example, a running log can ensure that you don’t increase your mileage too quickly. You can also note any pains in your running journal and therefore prevent injury before it is too late.
- Monitor your progress. Some we forget where we started and don’t realize how much we have progressed.
What should you record in your workout log?
Some people keep a workout log with stats for each workout. These include objective measures such as distance, pace, and speed. Others prefer to keep a workout journal that includes more information such as nutrition, hydration, sleep, injuries, etc. In my running journal, I record perceived effort and how I felt during a run. There are so many things you might want to add such as average heart rate, your running route, pre- and post-run food or drink, etc. We also offer printables for specific goals such as a 30-day shred calendar or other 30 day challenges.
Where should you keep your fitness log?
- You can create a fitness journal by printing many copies of any of the workout tracker templates and creating a DIY fitness book.
- Use a blank notebook.
- Use a fitness app.
If you need to share your workout log with your coach or training partners, download the Word version or the Excel version. Open Google Sheets and import the document and then share it!
