Workout log cards in 3x5 and 4x6, a gym bag card system

These workout log cards come in true 3 x 5 in and 4 x 6 in index card sizes. They form a small card system for your training that sits in a card box and slips into a gym bag, rather than a full-page workout planner. The set has 30 undated pages: ten card designs in both sizes with crop marks, matching lined and dot backs, an idea bank of 50 moves, and Plan, Logs and Records dividers for your card box, in US Letter and A4 PDF.

It is an instant download. Nothing is shipped.

How workout log cards make training simple

Take a single strength card to the gym and note the weight and reps for every set. For walks, runs and rides, use the cardio card to record time, distance and an effort score from 1 to 5. At the weekend, map out Monday to Sunday on the weekly plan card, fill a circle on the 30-day tracker for each active day, and keep an eye on sleep, energy and soreness with the recovery card.

Fresh bests go on the records card. The progress check repeats easy tests such as a plank hold or push-ups in a row, so you can see what your body is capable of without stepping on a scale. All cards are undated and every design comes in two sizes, so you can start in any week and reprint only the ones you actually use.

Who these index card workout logs are for

• Gym goers who would rather jot sets, reps and weights on a little card than carry a notebook or tap on a phone between sets
• Walkers, runners, swimmers and cyclists who like a plain paper record of time, distance and effort
• Fans of group fitness who want to remember which classes and instructors they enjoyed most
• Index card lovers who already keep goal or habit cards in a box, and anyone who owns a full-page workout planner but wants a pocket card version

Card sizes and design

• Elegant, minimal look: white cards with soft blush pink accents that need little ink
• Wide margins, so nothing is lost on a home printer
• Exact trim sizes with crop marks: 3 x 5 in (7.6 x 12.7 cm), three to a sheet, and 4 x 6 in (10.2 x 15.2 cm), two to a sheet, on US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4 (210 x 297 mm) paper
• Undated, so you can begin in any week
• Print double-sided with flip on the long edge and the lined and dot backs line up with the fronts
