Tip one:Keeping a diary! One of the most frustrating parts of training is not knowing whether you are improving or not. Some times it can feel like you are going to the gym but it is not making any difference. At times you forget what weights you lifted in the last session and you are worried that maybe you have got weaker. The best solution for teenagers to all these problems is to keep a diary. Training diary- This is the simplest diary to do. All you have to do is fill in the exercises, the amount of weight you lifted, the amount of reps, and the date. This should be filled in either during your workout or after your workout if you have a good memory. If you feel you are not improving then check your diary to see if you have reached a plateu and are no longer improving. If this is the case then you will realise you need to mix up and change your training to promote new muscle growth. Change the amount of reps or the rest time (etc). A diary is a great way for teenagers to measure their peformance and to show yourself that you are improving.More complex diariesNutrition Diary- Your improvement in the gym is not all to do with training.
