This weeks workout was pretty simple. I ran on the treadmill most of the time. I walked at a speed of 3 mph on incline 2 for 5 minutes, walked on incline 12 at speed 3 mph for 5 minutes, and then increased the incline to 15 and stayed at the same speed for 5 more minutes. after this, I went on the elliptical for 5 minutes. I then went back in the treadmill once again. I walked at 3 mph on incline 2 for 5 minutes, ran at speed 5 mph for 10 minutes and walked at 3 mph on incline 2 for another 5 minutes. in addition, I walked at a speed of 3 mph on incline 12 for 5 minutes and then walked at the same speed on incline 15 for another five minutes. finally I did a 10 minute cool down.
Week 10 Questions
Although I mentioned that achieving my original goal of building my cardiovascular endurance seemed unrealistic, I believe that that was what I was most successful in achieving. I believe that the last couple of weeks running on the treadmill really helped. The aspect of my galas that I was least successful in achieving was staying motivated throughout this exercise program. I feel as though I never really had a constant level of motivation and it made me want to not workout a few times. I was not really looking to boost my motivation at some pint during this program and that was why I was unable to stay constantly motivated because I didn’t do anything to change it. my diet did change throughout the course of this program. I found myself eating more vegetables towards the end of the program and also I tried much harder to choose healthier food options rather than just always eating what I wanted to. my diet changed because I figured that if I am trying to gt my body healthy, I cant just try to do it physically, I need to better my nutrition in order to do that. The most important thing that I learned about myself is that I need to find ways to relive my stress instead of letting it build up. I’ve mentioned before that I find working out helps with my stress and that’s just one of many ways, I am sure, that I can relieve my stress.
