The Weightlifting Transformation Gym Buddy Journal by Habit Nest. 12-Week Trainer & Progress Tracker. Requires Full Gym Equipment. 65 Video Guided Workouts with Sets, Reps & Tracking Space.

I have always wanted to lift weights but I've struggled so much with the fear of the unknown, and that has kept me from making it a part of my routine. "Am I working out too much? Not enough? Too many muscle groups? Is my form right?" I had so many fears that I was doing it wrong that I could never make it a habit and I fell off the bandwagon each time. That was UNTIL I found this book.I'm two and a half weeks into my routine, and I sincerely feel like this is what I've always been looking for. I'm being eased into a routine and all of my questions are being answered. The diagrams in the book are very helpful, but they also include a QR code on each page that you can scan to view short videos of real people doing the exercises. I feel noticeably stronger already, plus, I feel like the spark of excitement is still there after two and a half weeks. People have even noticed it and come up to me at the gym and asked, "What is that? Where can I get one?" The layout is thoughtful and carefully considered. It's a beautiful, functional design. I look forward to opening it each time. If you're looking to learn how to lift weights and stay motivated, this journal is for you. Can't recommend it enough.

This journal is great for someone serious about lifting weights but needs guidance. I am 4 workouts from finishing and I feel stronger and confident about what I will do everyday.As you progress there are tips and encouragement to keep going.Size: average journal, if you don't want to tote jt around the gym they have a solution for that on the journalWorkouts are organized and structuredYou can write in the journal to track your weights and sets. Which is a boost on its own.Pages are sturdy.

I love this journal as I don't have to think about what I need to do for my workouts and it helps me to be more consistent! Love it!

This is a straight-forward plan that you can use many times per week to get you into the gym with a plan. It's so easy to obsess over how often to work out, how many reps to do, etc ... this book is an encouraging and educational guide even for those of us who have worked with personal trainers in the past.I mix this with other workouts (running and TKD classes), filling in 2 or 3 strength-training days each week. The workouts target few muscle groups at a time, which allows for back-to-back days if that's what works in the schedule for the week, but over the weeks, I think you'll hit every major group.It's a great way to overcome the challenge of programming your own workouts and get you into the gym more regularly!!

Love this journal! It’s very well done and easy to follow along. I like that you can scan the QR code to get more information on how to do the exercises.

This book got me into the gym and made me consistent! It’s easy to follow and I love that there are alternative options incase the machine is in use or I don’t have access to it.

I’ve lost 170lbs, I struggle with plans for the gym. It may seem expensive but it is worth every penny! Each day is a new routine. You never get bored!

The book is beautiful, with premium features like a pen loop and ribbon bookmark. However, the very first exercise in the book is a series of pullups. Perhaps other beginners wouldn't be intimidated by this, but it turned me off entirely; I was hoping to start slow and then progress to more advanced skills as the book progressed. I also wish it had recommended alterations or alternative exercises; I even checked the QR code and nada.
