2 week reflection


 This week we felt like we were able to achieve our goals to make more smoothies and get out of the gym a little more. We were able to go outside a lot more this week and find other ways to work out outside of the gym. We also remembered to bring smoothie ingredients and the correct blender that way the smoothie actually blended. We defiantly had some not so great smoothies but we also had some really yummy ones that will make it into the cookbook.


With all of the warm weather, we had this week we really took advantage of getting outside and not just staying in the gym because that got very boring. One of the things we were able to get outside and do was the sunrise hike which in the end was very worth it and we all had so much fun. I still don't think that I have been able to catch back on the sleep that I missed but that okay because we still had so much fun. I left my house at 2:30 which was very early but worth it. We only got lost two times. The rest of the week I was really tired though and didn't have much energy which made the rest of the week hard.



These next couple of days ahead we are planning to re-test our maxes to see how far we have come. With the end near we still have lots to do. We plan to change our maxing schedule a little bit that way we don't do the same thing we did the first time. This time we are going to divide it between two days. We still need to make our cookbook and make more smoothies!



We now have 47 hours which puts us in a good place to finish our senior project with plenty of time.

Reflection: Week 1

Image
This week was our first week of senior project and we spent our time testing our maxes, making smoothies, working on our cookbook, and lots of planning for upcoming workouts. One thing we defiantly need to work on is making a plan on how we are going to do our maxes. We need to do this because we messed it up when we did it, and we went up in weight too fast. This made us get very tired very fast and that made it so we had a hard time finishing up the rest of the workout.    Now that we are not as sore and more rested we will start tomorrow off by retesting our maxes. We have also planned strength and cardio which is good that way we can get a mix of everything and not just strength. We have defiantly been able to see where we are with our strength compared to the fall and there is lots of room to improve. This week we have also learned a lot about nutrition. We all found that after a winter of not lifting that all of our weights were down and that the reps were a lot lower as well. So

Day 8

 We started our day after my math class was over. We went to lunch and then made a delicious smoothie I think it was the best one yet. It was very refreshing and would be perfect for a hot summer day like it was today. We are thinking of calling it "Summer Berry". After that, we went on a walk and then went to the turf to start some stretching because we needed to get ready before we did our lower body workout. Today for our lower body we did squatting and deadlift. After that, we did another leg circuit which included wall sit for a minute, squatting for a minute, and then another exercise. After that we did a big core circuit, stretched, and then called it a day and headed to sports. Hours: 3

Day 2

 Today we started our day with a nice one our warm-up which consisted of basketball, foam rolling, and stretching. Once we were all warmed up we headed into the weight room to work on lower body. Once we finished our lower body we moved out to the turf strip and did some Tabata where we did 5 rounds with 5 exercises each for 30 seconds with a 10-second break. For my 5 exercises, I did wall sit, Bosu ball tuck, hamstring curls, plank, and burpees. After that, we did core for 10 minutes and then finished with some stretching. Sadly we were unsuccessful with our smoothie making for today, but we will be back in action for tomorrow. Hours: 4
