Day 13

 We had a later start to our day and started it on the turf with warming up and stretching to get ready for our first day of re-testing our maxes. I was able to test my back squat yesterday and I was able to increase it by 20 pounds. On the first day of testing I squatted 160lbs and today I did 180lbs. After that, I was able to do bench press but I will be re-testing that on Wednesday. After that, we went to the seminar, then to lunch and then we went up to the tennis courts and played for two hours. Then later that day I did some core and went for a bike ride.

Hours: 5

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
