This week for my fitness activity, I have decided to do a 10 minute warm up, 20 minutes of abdominal circuit training, 20 minutes on the bicycle machine and a 10 min cool down.
Before I started my fitness activity, I felt very motivated and excited to get my workout in for the week. During my fitness activity, I always kept pushing myself and taking my time to properly do the workouts. I feel that sometimes I do an exercise quickly rather than do it properly. After my workout, I felt really good and want to keep pushing myself to do stay fit even after this semester is over.
What I have learned this week is that its better to take your time and doing an exercise properly rather than doing it quickly and risking yourself to get injured. What I liked about this week is that I kept my workout simple and did the movements properly. Overall, I did my workout based on what I felt conferrable with and I really enjoyed it.
In this weeks video, I did a 10 minute warm up which consists of arm circles, overhead arm pull, ankle on the knee, hurdlers stretch, lower back stretch, bend and reach, seated hamstring stretch, bending windmill stretch, calf stretch, knee to chest stretch, neck stretch, chest stretch, butterfly stretch, side stretch, kneeling hip flexor, arm and shoulder stretch and shoulder shrugs (not in order)(same formula like last weeks). A 20 minute abdominal circuit training which consists of 25 criss-crosses, 15 side-crunches on both sides (left and right), 20 crunches, 30 flutter kicks and 25 heel touches, plank for 30 secs and then repeat each exercise 4 times. After that I did 20 minutes on the bicycle machine. Lastly, I did a 10 minute cool down which consists of abdominal stretch, overhead arm pull, ankle on the knee, hurdlers stretch, lower back stretch, bend and reach, seated hamstring stretch, bending windmill stretch, calf stretch, knee to chest stretch, neck stretch, chest stretch, butterfly stretch, side stretch, kneeling hip flexor, arm and shoulder stretch and shoulder shrugs (not in order, most of them are repeats from the warm up and last week).
