    When I first started MFP, I worked out (walking) three days a week. So my "mental" schedule was either MWF or TThSat. Pretty basic and it worked for me.

    Now that I have lost some weight, I am more systematic. I have a very simple Excel sheet that I use (thanks to a fellow MFP member) that let's me plan my exercise a week at a time. Recently I upped my workouts (running, walking, on demand workouts, weights, etc.) from four days a week to five days a week . So every Sunday, I plan my exercises for a full seven days. That way I know exactly what I need to do and I do not overwork/overload my body. Another benefit of doing this is to see what exercises worked for me and the benefits as I track time and calories burned. I can go back to various weeks and see how I did.

    Since my current MFP exercise goal is five days a week at thirty minutes (minimum), planning out my workouts in this manner definitely keeps me on track.
