i'm not good at this (yet) (this is blog 2)
So... I started going to the gym. When I first walked in, I saw a lot of machines. Like, a lot of machines. It was sort of overwhelming because I had only thought about my goals, but not how to achieve them. I did at least two reps (10 cycles per rep) on each machine, and I did all machines but 3. But because I spent all of that time trying out new machines, I didn't have time to go on the treadmill, and I pretty much wasted a day.
I made sure for my second visit, to not get distracted and remain focused on achieving my goals. I did: pull-ups, bicep curls, curl-ups, abdominal twists, treadmill, and some other smaller obscure things that I probably won't do again. And even though I went into the gym with an idea about how I wanted to spend my time, I still wasted some time by trying out new things or just trying to find the next machine. (if you haven't noticed already, I'm not good at this)
So after wasting a lot of time, I decided to actually write something down. I created a (sort of) fitness plan consisting of everything I plan on doing the next day.
I know a lot of you are thinking: "Ethan, why didn't you have a fitness plan in the first place?" or "didn't you realize that you would waste time without planning ahead?" Ok well, better late than never. This project is something that you are supposed to not know much about and learn how to do it. Apparently, having a plan is a really big part of fitness.
And as a side note, eating healthy is really hard. 😑
Hi Ethan,
ReplyDeleteI really like how you share your obstacles you have already encountered. It would be interesting possibly as an extra blog post to include your workout plan for the week and maybe the emotions you feel after each day or so.
I also really like the gif, very funny. I hope things get easier and maybe you even start to enjoy it!
How did you come up with your fitness plan? I'm assuming it was based upon your goals, but I was wondering if any research or aid from an expert helped you make your goal. Also, props to you for eating healthy. All of my health teachers have always enforced a healthy diet and lots of physical activity; it's really important that the two are carried out together!! You should create a "fitstagram"! It's basically an instagram account used to showcase fitness progress and healthy food options. My sister created one, and they are really fun to follow! Good luck with the rest of your project!
ReplyDeleteI did do some outside research when creating my plan. I mainly used my goals, but I also did some research to find out how to better achieve those goals and how to do it in a tight time constraint. I like the idea of a "finstagram", I might look into it.
