Week #2

  a.    A full body workout including, legs/butt, arms, and abs. 

b.    7:00am – 8:00am, 11:55am – 1:25pm, and 6:00pm – 7:30pm

d.   None of the hours of the Vanier fitness centres worked with my schedule, so I decided to go to my own gym. I went in the evening, 8:00pm-9:00pm with Carey. 

e.   Before the workout I was extremely tired that day so I wasn’t really feeling that motivated to go. During the workout I felt more comfortable because I was in a zone and just doing my workout. Afterwards, I felt tired from the workout, but I also felt happier and more mentally clear.

f.    I learned how to use one of the machines at my gym that I had never tried before. I liked that I was able to workout with a friend who had never been to the gym with me before. I can honestly say that there was nothing I did not like.

g.   I used the treadmill, row machine and dumbbells.

h.   I was glad that I got out of the house  and out of my comfort zone. I would definitely recommend it to a friend but definitely recommend one of the Vanier fitness centres because it is so convenient. 

Week #2 Questions:

a.  1) The way I feel after I workout. I feel happy, less stressed and more mentally focused.

2) Knowing the health benefits. It can lower my blood pressure and reduce certain types of diseases in the future. 

3) A real motivation is to have goals to look forward to. For example, I am planning a vacation in the summer and want to be fit in time for that.

b.   1) Having lots of assignments due and not finding the time to workout.

2) Being tired all the time in general, from a busy school schedule.

3) Being intimidated by the gym and all the people there. 

c.   I like workouts that don’t feel like you are working out. For example, outdoor games and hikes or types of workouts that don’t require a lot of equipment. 

d.   I prefer going to the gym because I feel more motivated when I am out of the house. My gym has different workout classes that I enjoy going to because I feel it helps motivate me to have a better workout when someone is telling me what to do. 

e.   Working out during my long breaks or lunch breaks.

f.    I really enjoy going for high intensity walks. I plan on always having a dog in my future, so the motivation of having to take the dog out as well would definitely motivate me to stay active and go outdoors more.
