Week 7 Questions

My goals are still realistic because I have been trying to achieve them throughout the whole semester. The increased sets are helping me achieve these goals and just weight training in general is what is working best. I need to change the different exercises that I do because I am mainly working out the same muscle groups. You should eat at least 3 servings of vegetables each day. I am getting enough vegetables each day because my parents are very aware of the Canadian Food Guide and they force me to eat many vegetables each day. My 3 favorite vegetables are carrots, broccoli, and cucumbers.

Week 6 Questions

I feel more energized and excited to workout because I feel that I am getting stronger even though it hasn’t been that long. The activity plan is allowing me to lift more weight and I feel myself getting stronger. One major barrier so far has been that I reinjured my knee so it has been hard to workout as effectively as I would like. I am not supposed to workout but I didn’t listen to my doctor. Instead I have avoided working out legs and I am not training as hard as I could to avoid injuring it again. You should rest 2-3 days between muscular strength and endurance training. If you don’t give your muscles time to rest, they won’t be able to recover and they won’t be as strong when you work them. They will also have a harder time growing because they can’t heal. It also increases the likelihood of injury.
