December 12 - Fitness Friday!

On Friday, we went outside to do the community run and the last portion of the pond run. It felt so good to go running again, and I think I did the best I could. At first, I felt like my lungs were burning but once I controlled my breathing, it felt normal again. Going up the last hill was the toughest part to do, but I didn't stop running! The pond run wasn't too bad to do afterwards. Here's a screenshot of the data from NikeRun app & an after gym selfie!

December 10 - Note to Self

I haven't been doing anything outside of school since the vacation I had in the Philippines. I used to run pretty much every other day, and did some workout videos on the side. I don't really know why I can't get myself to just go out and do something. Maybe its the weather? Or how dark it gets by the time I get out of school. I want to stop making excuses and just go on a quick run or something as easy as that. I'm going to seek for inspiration to go running again. Maybe the 2014 VS Fashion Show will do the trick? I have no idea, but I'm going to get out of this rut soon! Stay tuned.

December 10 - Weight Room & Latissimus Dorsi

So today, Gaby, Yulia, and I did these two workout videos, and 3 exercises to work on out muscle of the day! The three exercises with the resistant bands killed my arms! It was pretty hard to do because I tend to work on my legs more than my upper body. I was sooooo glad to finish and move on to the videos. I enjoyed doing the ab workout because I had so much fun being in pain with Yulia and Gaby. We were making all sorts of noise because it was burning so badly. The leg workout was a bit awkward at times because of what the people were doing with their arms... Other than that, it was a pretty good workout. At the end of everything my face was so sweaty (gross, but prooved that I worked hard). As I was doing the workouts, I see a lot of the people working hard, which made me want to keep going and contribute to the good vibes from the class. Here's an after workout pic! (Yulia is not in it because she was too busy talking to Mr. Neuf :P )

December 8 - Muscle of the Day: Bicep Femoris

Today in the weight room, we focused on working out the bicep femoral. Yulia and I decided to do a 100 Rep squats video! And we also used the leg curl machine. I was able to feel the burn in my legs while we were doing it. My favorite was the jump squats because they were fun to do! Here's a picture of my doing jump squats and the workout video.

December 8 - Self Reflection

After looking at a few blogs from our class, I realize that I need to go more in depth about what I could improve on and how I'm going to do so. I also need to catch up on the blog posts! Lastly, I need to add photos or videos as evidence of hard work, not just saying I worked hard. I hope to add these things before this term ends!! :)

December 4 - Relay around the Pond

For fitness, we ended up doing a relay around the pond. I was in a group with Gaby, Pallvi, and Anusha. I was missing Yulia that day :( I feel like I could have pushed myself harder because I didn't feel myself in 'the uncomfortable state' like I usually do during fitness. I hope to do it again soon so I can actually work harder and contribute a better attitude to the class.

November 28 - Fun with Yoga

I never thought that Yoga would make me sweat this much! For fitness Tuesday, the whole block did yoga in the large gym. I was so sore that day because of the previous days. I feel like its one of those fitness days where its easy to not compare yourself to others because its something no one is extremely good at. I had fun doing some poses and making weird faces at Gaby because of the awkwardness. I especially looooooved the child birth pose. lol. But anyways, I really felt the stretch during the whole video and it would be fun to do it again.
