A5 workout planner inserts to plan, log and see your strength grow

This A5 workout planner turns your binder into a training journal, with 26 undated pages for fitness goals, a weekly plan, session logs, strength, cardio, mobility and recovery. The inserts suit A5 ring binders, half letter binders and discbound planners, and print-and-cut A4 and Letter versions are included. Both page sizes and both cut sheets come as an instant download, so nothing is posted to you.

Start any week you like, and reprint the plan and log pages as often as you train.

How the A5 workout planner keeps your training on track

Your week sits on one two-page spread. Each day gets Strength, Cardio, Mobility and Rest circles, so you can see the balance at a glance. Every session then has its own log with 17 exercise rows, reps x weight across four sets, energy scores before and after, and space for warm-up and cool-down.

Over the months, the strength spread follows seven key lifts plus bodyweight skills such as push-ups and plank time, while the cardio log records 17 sessions with weekly totals. Softer pages for stretching, rest and recovery sit alongside a 31-day habit tracker and a two-week energy check-in, so you learn what truly leaves you feeling good.

Who will love these fitness inserts

• Anyone carrying an A5 6-ring, half letter or junior discbound planner who wants fitness pages in the matching size
• Gym newcomers, and anyone rebuilding a routine after time off
• Lifters who enjoy watching their numbers rise from one month to the next
• Fans of home workouts, walking, yoga and Pilates who want a kinder way to track progress, with no weighing or measuring

Design, sizes and printing

• Minimal and elegant: white pages with soft blush pink accents that need very little ink
• Generous margins all round, so a home printer will not crop anything
• Portrait pages in two sizes, A5 at 148 x 210 mm and Half Letter at 5.5 x 8.5 in, plus cut sheets for A4 or US Letter paper
• No dates anywhere, so you can begin in any week of any year
• Binding margins switch sides: 14 mm on the left side of odd pages and the right side of even pages, with 8 mm along the outer edge
• Lines spaced 6.5 mm apart or more and type of 8.5 pt or larger, so the small page stays easy to write on
• Cut sheets carry a dashed line down the middle and cut ticks, so a single cut makes two pages
• Keep them in a binder or on a clipboard, or have a print shop spiral bind them

Good to know before you buy

• These inserts are PDFs designed to be printed, not a hyperlinked digital planner. You can still import a PDF into most note taking apps and write on it there.
• You receive digital files only. No physical product is shipped.
• Printed colors may differ slightly from what you see on screen.
• Made for your personal use only. Please do not share, resell or pass on the files.
• Digital files cannot be returned. If a file will not open or print properly, email us and we will help quickly.
• Binder ring spacing varies between brands, so no punch marks are printed. Punch the wide inner margin with your own A5 6-hole punch, junior punch or disc punch.
• These pages support personal planning and motivation. They are not medical advice. Ask your doctor before you begin a new exercise routine, and always listen to your body.
