Week 5

Disclaimer

I was able to do only 1 exercise this week. There is only one video this week.

Part 2

1. Do you feel different this week… more energy, better mood, or increased self-confidence?

I feel certainly less tired, since I have been working out like this every week and been sleeping during most of my weekends.

2. What effect is the activity plan having on you?

It increases overall body endurance and makes me less tired from 8 AM to 6 PM classes that I have every Monday to Thursday.

3. What have been some major barriers so far in your activity plan? How have you adapted your plan to overcome these barriers?

My major barriers are certainly my weak endurance capacity and the amount of the time that I have. I was not able to finish any activities during my semesters within the time limit, and to do every activities due to lack of time. Consequently, the effect on my body applies slowly.

4. What solutions have you found? How long should you rest after completing a muscular strength or endurance workout? Why? What happens if you don’t?

Unfortunately, I was not able to find the solution, due to 10 + 2 hours of study, and having less than 7 hours of sleep everyday. I believe that having a rest over-night is good for the rest. Because, body can rest only while sleeping (8 to 9 hours sleep is optimal). Upon not following the recommendation, body will take more time to repair and rest from workouts and may cause injury during the workout.

5. Comment on your two nutrition habits. How have you done over the course of the two weeks?

I always been keeping good nutriment balances. For example, I always eat meat, veggies and carbs in balanced way at the same time. Also, I try to eat 3 meals per day.
