week 1 workout 2

 





For my second workout of the week, I wanted to go for a walk/jog around the town, similar to the first workout I did yesterday (Saturday), but in the end I decided to try one of the many good home workouts posted on Omnivox. The workout I completed was 3 circuits. The first was 20 jumping jacks, 20 pushups and 20 squats. The second circuit was 20 lunges, 15 triceps dips and a 30 second plank. The last circuit was 15 squat jumps, 30 second wall sit and 20 bicycle crunches. I repeated these circuits about 3 times within the hour, but I struggled heavily to do the exercises properly and keep up a proper pace, but that will improve with time. The frequency of this exercise I would say is 2-3 times a week, to maintain a consistent routine and actually see results. The intensity is moderate to high, the rest periods are only 30 seconds so you are still constantly active and straining your body over a long period of time. The time would be about 45 minutes to 1 hour, but it can vary depending how long it takes for you to finish the circuits. As a beginner, it takes me a lot longer than most people at completing the exercises, hence why I was barely able to complete it completely and I probably didn't have the best form while completing it. The type is more focused on bodyweight exercises, strengthening your core, but at the same time it also focuses mostly on cardiovascular training. These exercises improve stamina too, it is great for maintaining fitness while also toning muscles. It doesn't focus much on flexibility, so maybe I need to focus more on that for future workouts. This session was a great way to round off the second workout of the week, and I am excited to continue with workout #3 next week.

Action Plan

1)      What are the specific areas of weakness you remember identifying in your fitness appraisals that you wanted to address with your exercise program? I stated in my fitness appraisal that I wanted to work on my body composition (start building muscle, reduce fat, and maintain a consistent workout routine that I actually follow every week). Along with this, I also want to work on having a healthy diet that benefits my goals, and not fall easily to the temptations of eating unhealthy food.  With my exercise program, I want to focus more exclusively on weight training. I understand that weight training is a crucial way to build muscle over time, working on my upper body and building a more positive mental attitude towards working out.  2)   What are your goals for this fitness program? (to have fun, lose weight, socialize, look better, get stronger, improve athletic performance, etc.)  I obviously want to get stronger and improve my athletic perfor...

Week 8 Workout 2

Workout #16 For the final workout of not only the week, but the entire blog program, we end off with a workout from Omnivox that I may or may not have already done. If I have done it, I apologize, I have done so many workouts for the last 8 weeks that I am unsure about which ones I have done off Omnivox. This workout was an AMRAP workout, featuring 10 push ups, 20 crunches, 45 second wall squat, 20 forward lunges,10 per leg and 45 seconds of plank. I will now apply the Fitt principles and starting with frequency, I would recommend doing this workout 3-4 times per week to maximize results. The intensity was moderate to high effort, because the work had short breaks between all the workouts, but it was still an intense workout on the body for this to be considered moderate to high effort. The time was 1 hour, and not as long as the first workout of this week. The type of workout was worked on basically every part of the body. The push-ups worked on muscular strength and endurance (trains...
