Workout Pyramid

Last Friday we did this so called "workout pyramid" for fitness Friday. I have no idea if that's the actual name for it so don't quote me on that. It's a workout that consisted of squats, lunges, push-ups, sit-ups, shoulder press, burpees, and other workouts I currently cannot name. At the beginning of the workout it felt more like a warmup and didn't felt anything, YET. At the half time of the workout my legs starts to get sore and I've started sweating. By then I started to slow down and cheating/modifying some of the workouts to make them simpler #teamLazy. The following day my upper legs and lower back were so sore, but I kinda expected that already LOL. I honestly would've been more proud of myself if I hadnt modified any of the workouts and stayed consistent with my pace. Next time I will try to resist the urge of cheating/modifying the workouts. Honestly I've learned through this workout that the only person I'm cheating on is myself. Yeah that's right, I just got deep. Like 6 feet under deep. HEHE

Locomotion! #1

YAY FOR FITNESS TUESDAY! 

I honestly don't even know why I still have so much energy after doing the locomotion... Hehe . I kept hearing this morning that we were gonna do this so called "locomotion" for fitness, and had no idea what it was. First type of workout I thought of when I heard of it was cardio, I GUESSED RIGHT! Yay..... My energy this morning was way over everyone else's, probably because of the cookie I ate.. Oops. Actually NAH, I'm always too energetic. I'm getting off topic, back to fitness! Today's weather looked absolutely on point, but it felt not so on point. So the teacher's decided on doing fitness outside. The cold breeze and glaring sun balanced each other out so it wasn't too bad of a walk towards the upper parking. Everyone has gathered and it was time to start THE LOCOMOTION (doesn't it sound like a TV series?) . The first quarter of the time going over the cardio wasn't too bad and it felt more like a warmup. As time passes by I slowly felt the workout throughout my legs but most especially around my quads. The mini breaks in between helped so much with catching my break and cooling off for a bit. At the end of the locomotion my legs were so sore, I was sweaty and really thirsty. For the next locomotion I really want to work on pacing myself and breathing properly as I do the cardio. I also enjoyed the music being played it kept me somewhat distracted from all the soreness I was feeling during the workout. Nonetheless, I had fun doing the locomotion and it was definitely a very different expirience to what I have done in my previous school of what a fitness day would be like. OH and I looked like a watermelon for PE today (the colors not the shape).

I wasn't able to test my vertical jump and as well as get to the balance. 

Its been a while since I had done my last beep test, I was actually surprised I reached a 7.1 considering I didn't have PE for a year and half. I think my goal is to beat my personal best of 8.2 . To achieve my goal I will attempt to do more cardio and run outside more while enjoying the upcoming sunny weather. As for the other fitness activities t-test, plank and seat reach stayed consistent from my past fitness test. It was my first time to ever have push-ups as apart of fitness, felt kinda rusty and just did a modified push-up. I could honestly step up my push-ups game ! I am definitely looking forward to improving my fitness during this semester ! 

#Goals

AYE! So...
My goal for my body this semester is to possibly improve my skills in dancing and tone up my legs . Also to work on pacing myself when running. 

I found these workout on YouTube. It says it is for toning legs. Here are the links...

I did the workout and it made me feel energized and sweaty afterwards (LOL), but so worth it. Next time I will push myself further and challenge myself to go over my limits.
