This week’s coaching tip comes from Shelly Yu, our experienced online coach based in Vancouver, Canada:

Hi Tribe 365! It’s Shelly here with another coaching tip of the week. This week we’re talking about journaling!

Traditionally, journaling is used to track symptoms in order to make your doctor’s appointments easier, however did you know journaling works wonders for exercise as well?

One of the main benefits to journaling is to hold yourself accountable in your exercise regime and to motivate yourself to continue your exercise journey.

Here are some ways you can incorporate journaling in your daily exercise:

  • record the date and time of your exercises
  • record how long the exercise lasted
  • describe what type of exercise you did
  • before you exercise: reflect on how you feel
  • after your exercise: reflect on how you feel
  • reflect on what you would like to achieve by exercising

You can look back on your journal entries to see how realistic and achievable your current exercise regime is (i.e. are you exercising as frequently as you hoped). If not, use your reflections to guide the modifications for your exercise regime. You can also use your journal entries as a motivator on tough days, and remind yourself of why you started exercising.

Happy journaling!

Julio is the perfect example of dreaming big and not letting Parkinson’s Disease put a ceiling on what you think you can achieve. Remember your goals and achievements are specific to YOU. Your marathon might be successfully walking around the block. Your Ironman might be climbing a set of stairs with more confidence. I hope you find Julio’s story as motivating as I did:

Tracker

Tracker

The tracker is designed to help you track the amount of time you spend in scheduled exercise each day. Scheduled exercise is activity you have prioritised in your day for health and to help slow your Parkinson’s down. This might include PD Warrior exercise, fast walking, golfing, going to the gym etc. It does not include incidental activity such as housework & gardening (although we hope this increases too). The aim of the tracker is to help you build an exercise habit and to keep you accountable, so try and enter something each day.
At the end of the 10 Week Challenge you can download and review your overall performance.
