New Weight Room Goals and Workout


Last time I said I wanted to work on my core/belly and thigh/leg areas. After searching for more video's I had found one labeled "beach body" and as a whole I have realized that not only did i want to work on my core but also on other parts and the reason was because i wanted to be ready for summer. I wanted to use this video because it has not a lot of equipment which shows that you can make change to your body with out weights or exercise balls. This Workout is calmer than others because it is a yoga and palettes type. I wanted to pick a workout that i could do in and out of the weight room. There are two videos that labeled what i wanted to improve. There are also more videos like this, specifying areas or your body as a whole for any other girls who would like to get into that beach body!

Fitness friday; 40 seconds on 20 seconds off

     Yesterday during fitness we did 40 seconds on 20 seconds off; where you do an activity for 40 seconds and then rest for 20. We havent done fitness in a long time, and even though it was hard to get back to the cycle, doing fitness felt great! I'm sort of sore from yesterday because this semester I have dance everyday, and on top of that we had fitness. But although I am still sort of sore, It's good and refreshing even though it sounds weird haha. I say this because since I'm sore, I know that it's because I've worked hard during fitness and didn't stop. Being sore is reminding me that I was pushing myself to try and do more and that the "pain/sorness" is worth it! I liked this fitness activity, because I honestly don't like running for fitness i find it kind of boring, and this to me was more entertaining and engaging. Workouts like this motivate me to workout more and live a healthier life style. Lately I have been wanting to go into the weight room and workout, and workout outside of school too. Other than my motivation to live a healthier life, i feel i did great in this fitness activity because the people I was surrounded by, some of them were super athletic and worked thier butts off like they usually do, and some didnt put a lot of effort into it. This made me realize that I would rather work my butt off than slack off. 
    I didn't get the chance to take pictures or videos because I gave Valeria my phone since she couldnt participate, but she went to the hub and did homework. I wish i could have taken pictures or videos because I felt like this was one of the fitness activities that was more in my area opposed to the other things. But We have Fitness on tuesday and I'm looking forward to it, and am determined to record a bit of my activity showing how hard I have been working lately.
