Questions:

  1. What I miss from the old normal was interacting with other people and as-well as spending time with my friends. We mostly are in touch online, but it isn’t the same as in person. I believe it’s better for our health to communicate with people as it most certainly relieves stress.

2.What I don’t miss is that I don’t have to take the bus and metro to go to school. Most of my classes are online and instead of waiting and hour and a half to get to Vanier (bus and metro), it takes me 0 minutes to get in class. Another thing I do not miss is the stress. I really don’t have much stress now as everything is more calmed down and most tests and assignments are graded more fairly.

3. I believe that if everything is done in moderation, everything will be fine. Using that mentality will be key to my future success in CEGEP. If I see my friends with moderation, i’ll be able to have some time for my studies as well.

4. What I could do now is very limited, but I can talk to my friends more often online, so I can feel as if we were already in a normal world, as if nothing had happened. I would do this so when we actually see each other again after, we won’t binge talk for many days, it will be as if the quarantine never happened.

Workout 2: time for run: (13 min 10 seconds)

Workout 3: https://youtu.be/9h8PULP8Tao

Questions:

  1. To ensure emotional stability, I would have to continue working out even after the semester ends. Luckily during the summer my job consists of lifting heavy boxes, so I could use that to my advantage to strengthen my muscles.
  2. I have to stop eating sweets, even for holidays. Everything was smooth sailing until easter, my parents bakes many Italian sweets (i’m Italian), which put a dent in my promise to eat less sweets.
  3. I must continue to work out and stay healthy.
  4. The most shocking thing I believe in this pandemic is that we might not resume back to full normality for at least 6 months.

Week 8

Workout 1:https://youtu.be/XW12LEDDGYA

Workout 2:https://youtu.be/2KuFJ8PsW6g

Questions:

a) My goal was to create a repetitive sequence which tested and improved my muscle capabilities which was shown in the first workout.

b) The unsuccessful parts to my workouts consisted to not giving my 100% effort due to my chickenpox symptoms. Had I not had any symptoms I could have completed maybe 5 reps instead of 3.

c) Since quarantine started I had the time to help my mom and dad cook new healthy meals for the family. In my opinion this definitely helped me clear my chickenpox symptoms as well as make me healthier overall.

d) The most important thing I learned about myself was how my body doesn’t depend on sweets. In the past, I would eat many sweets and never imagine how life would be without them, but now I see myself better physically without eating many of them.

e) I can definitely see a difference in strength and the amount of energy I have in a day. I could easily do 40 push ups on demand, while in the past I would struggle doing 10 consecutively.

f) Definitely I felt a huge increase in difficulty solely because of my chickenpox symptoms. Had I not had the symptoms I don’t think it would have been such a step up.

g) During these tough times I have lots of time to do workouts which gives me the peace of mind to do everything right. I find the workouts relieve stress and anxiety in daily life.

Week 7

Workout 1: https://youtu.be/vkvrG5SQSpc

Workout 2: https://youtu.be/EJHKuwwDJCI

a) The point of doing a warm up is to warm up the muscles and allow blood flow to those muscles which you will be conducting the workout to prevent injury.

b) To a successful warm up you have to do dynamic workouts and never do any static workouts.

c) Cooling down is important as you don’t want to just stop the exercise, you want to keep blood flowing.

d) The best time to stretch after the workout, when cooling down, as it allows more blood to muscle.

e) Since were living through this pandemic I have been sleeping very soundly and about 9-10 hours. Adolescents should be getting 8-10.

f) Fatigue, loss of concentration, high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and many more.

g) An example of a health snack when studying is perhaps dried beans. They are very healthy green beans.

h)I think these workouts make me a better person and better physically. Some risks of a sedentary lifestyle involve getting fat, obesity, health problems such as diabetes, cholesterol, etc..

i) 1) monosunsaturated fats

2) polyunsaturated fats.

Week 6

Workout 1:

Workout 2: https://youtu.be/gKnw6OLyvIY

  1. I’ve decided to do 5 reps of 10 pushups and 5 reps of 10 sit-ups in under 10 min. I’ve decided upon these workouts as I wanted to strengthen my shoulders and abdominals.
  2. For both of my workouts I tried my hardest, giving 100%.
  3. My new goal for the rest of my exercises is to gain 5 lbs in muscle mass. I will know it is muscle mass as I am eating very cautiously, trying to avoid sweets and eating plenty of healthy foods.
  4. I need to fix the times in which I do my workouts, so I can better recover and manage my time for school.
  5. I usually eat 2 servings of vegetables a day with my afternoon meal and supper.
  6. Will do!

D) After completing a muscular workout it is recommended to rest about 3 days, and I have been following that plan.
