In this video, the speaker explains his simple daily training tracking system using the iPhone Notes app. Each day he records the workout performed—three weight‑training sessions and two zone‑2 cardio sessions per week—along with step count (target 10,000 steps) and any mobility work. By logging these data in real time, he can view the week’s progress, rearrange missed sessions, and ensure he meets his weekly goals without feeling like a failure. The approach emphasizes flexibility, consistency, and the psychological benefit of treating the week as an average rather than a series of isolated days.

So the second example is around my training. And I track my training every day in the Notes app on my iPhone. It's nothing complicated. I just have the days in there and I just note down what I got done that day. And it kind of builds throughout the week. Now my goal is 5 training sessions per week. I do 3 weight training sessions and then I do 2 sessions of zone 2 cardio. And I also note down my steps each day with my goal as 10,000 steps per day, as I talked about before. And then lastly, I jot down any mobility that I do throughout the week as well. So as I fill out each day, it's sort of my way of building the week in real time. And this allows me to see what's building, and I'm then able to rearrange things to make sure that I close the week and I hit my goal of 5 sessions, 10,000 average steps, and some mobility. And again, that view is crucial for me. If I intend to train on a given day and for whatever reason I skip it,— it doesn't become this epic fail. I've done plenty of training before it and I just rearrange the days afterwards to make it all fit.
