Define what counts as attendance
Choose a rule you can apply consistently: arriving and completing the planned session, doing a meaningful home workout, or finishing a run. Do not change the rule to protect a streak. If health or recovery changes the plan, mark the day honestly rather than treating rest as failure.
Plan a realistic weekly rhythm
Start with days that fit work, sleep, travel, and recovery. The World Health Organization recommends regular activity and says some activity is better than none; its guidance also emphasizes building up gradually. Individual needs and medical conditions can change what is appropriate.
Record the session immediately
Use Calendar, Reminders, a note, or a dedicated attendance tracker. Mark done, missed, skipped, or rescheduled while the context is fresh. A weekly review is more useful than trying to reconstruct an entire month from memory.
Focus on showing up
Went is built around planned sessions and simple check-ins rather than detailed exercise logging. Each workout becomes a visible square, so the pattern is easy to understand without turning training into data entry.
Common questions
Should a short workout count?
Use the definition you chose in advance. A shorter adjusted session can count when it matches the plan and your health needs; avoid moving the goal only to preserve a number.
How often should I review attendance?
Weekly review is frequent enough to remember context and slow enough to reveal a pattern. Monthly totals can provide a broader view.
Is attendance enough to measure fitness progress?
No. Attendance measures consistency, not strength, endurance, technique, recovery, or health. Use other measures when they support your goal.
