Week 4

I reached my goal this week by working out specific muscles on certain todays. An example of the goal I reached is the workout I planned to do this week. Monday was the day I focused on arm, chest, shoulder exercises and running. I pushed myself to do 20 reps. of 2 sets of push-ups. It was hard and I did them until failure and then continued to reach 20 push-ups. Later when I got home, I was able to do 15 push-ups in a row which is an improvement from 10 push-ups. I did two new exercises using weights. I am no going to incorporate frontal tricep lifts and
I managed the hour I have to workout in class pretty well. I had time to run a mile. I ran it in 11 minutes. My time increased from last week and I am starting to think about spending and hour just running next week. My goal for nest week is to manage the three days of gym class I have and schedule time for a run.
Thursday, I planned to focus on squats and abs, along with a thorough stretch. I used my white board during this week to plan out the exercises for Tuesday and Thursday. This gave me a clear direction. Later, I wrote the workouts in my exercise journal so i could take it to the gym with me.
Next week I will go on an hour run and continue to raise my weights on my squats, increase the sets and reps of pushups and declined crunched. I am at 15 push ups right now and 30 decline crunches.
