Week 9

Today’s workout, I decided to do some basic calisthenics exercises which means all the exercises that I did only requires body weight. I chose to do this because when I do body weight exercises, I sweat more than when I use weights. This way, I work more muscle groups because the exercises that I did are compound exercises and it also a cardiovascular exercise.

Question 1:

Because of the current situation about the school, I tend to stress more because I do not really know what will happen and the facts that it is all online and it is new way to study I feel more pressure. Another thing that stresses me is my body. I feel like the fact that I do not go out and only stay home, I feel like the only thing I do is eat.

Question 2:

To manage my stressors, I decided to do things differently. For my school problems, the fact that they give alot of things to do but give us a lot of times to do it, 2 to 4 days. What I decided to do is to do the homework as soon as possible. For my eating habits I decided to do meal preparation. Or eat less junk food. For example I really like to eat while I’m doing homeworks or listening to an online class. I use to just eat chips. However I found a healthier snack which is pita bread. When you bake it, the pita bread becomes crunchy like a chips. Also, exercising really helps me if I don’t want to think about homeworks.

Question 3:

Dynamic stretches should be done on the warm-up part of the workout routine which mean you should do dynamic stretches in the beginning of your workout.

Question 4:

The purpose of doing dynamic stretches is to loosen, warm-up and prepare your muscles to the upcoming exercises that you are going to do. It will also allow your muscles to be ready and do the exercises efficiently. Also, dynamic stretches prevents you from getting injured during your workout.
