The Google Fit helps students and teachers monitor physical activity. It clearly shows daily movement and exercise patterns, providing insights of heart rate, steps taken, distance, and calories burned. It can also be synced with other wearable devices for convenience. This helps students understand the impact of exercise on overall health. While FitOn offers a wide range of workout videos, including yoga, cardio, and strength training, catering to different fitness levels and interests in PE classes. Teachers and students can access workouts anytime, making it a great tool for remote or hybrid learning environments. And Push up Counter records the number of push-ups performed and allow students to track progress over time and set personal bests. It can also be beneficial to teachers and coaches who handle a large number of classes, as this tool will enable them to produce data even without individual approach that saves their time.

There are some features of Google Fit requires a internet, smartphone or wearable device, which might not be accessible to all students, leading to potential unequal participation. While FitOn requires a stable internet connection to stream workout videos, which might be a limitation for students having poor signal. Also, unlike in-person instruction, the app cannot provide personalized feedback or correct form during exercises, which might lead to improper technique or injury. And also in Push up counter it focuses only push-ups and didn't cover other physical activity. The app also encourage students to focus on quantity over quality, performing push-ups incorrectly to increase their count, which can lead to injury and may sometimes inaccurately count repetitions, leading to incorrect assessment of performance.

I will adjust my routine of 5km walk by increasing the intensity by including uphill routes or stair climbing and adding some interval of hops and jogs to boost calorie burn.

I will also explore a variety of FitOn workout options such as strength training or flexibility-focused sessions like yoga or Pilates to work different muscle groups.

I will gradually increase the number of push-ups to perform or add some variations like incline or diamond push-ups to continue challenging my muscles.

Based on the data I gained in my 3-day fitness challenge, I set new goals for my next fitness challenge. I aim to increase my record of 7,321 steps to 8,000 steps over the next two weeks, gradually working up to the recommended 10,000 steps per day. I will gradually increase the duration of my workout, making it 30 minutes per day. I aim to beat my 21 push-ups and gradually increase it every other day. By setting and striving towards these goals, I aim to enhance my physical fitness, motivating myself to push further and achieve more growth and development.

I noticed a positive trend in my daily steps, especially on the second day, where my steps significantly increased. This was because it was Sunday, and I had more free time to focus on my fitness routine. It was a productive day. and I can confidently say I improved during this time. Even on the third day, despite having classes and a busier schedule, I still managed to stick to my planned routine. Although my steps on the third day were not as high on the second day, its still a significant improvement because I disciplined myself to stay consistent despite my responsibilities. The data on my tracker shows that when I have more time, I can achieve higher results, but even during busy days, I can maintain my routine with determination. Overall according to the app I used, my trends is "Active than usual".

To achieve better results, I can adjust my routines by balancing my activities to match my daily schedule. On when I have more free time, like Sundays, I can increase the intensity or duration of my exercises, such as adding more stretches or including strength training. While on the other hand for my busier days I can make it shorter and more on sessions like quick walking just to maintain my consistency. I am planning to really include this in my time management so that I can ensure that I can still stay or stick with my routine without me feeling rushed.

# data[].attributes.body
After almost 5 months of not having a workout routine I decided to use the app "Home workout" it tailors a workout plan according to our preference, In my case, I tailored a workout plan that will not make my body shocked that my muscles will tear to the point that it will hurt.

"The start of my physically active habits"

# data[].attributes.body
Since I was able to exceed my targets from day 1 to day 3, I can now target atleast 10,00 steps daily while if I have more free time such as on my weekdays I can maximize it to 12,000 steps. Additionally, to maintain a balance routine I can set another goal of mixing the lower, upper and full body routines throughout the week. On the other hand, for my busier days I may include mindfulness exercises or light stretching routines for me to be able to manage my stress while still staying active. For instance, making my 10 minutes from the time of my workout for stretching or yoga. And with that, I am aiming to improving my endurance and step count gradually by increasing my steps steps each week by 500.

Step Counter - Pedometer

This app/tool is more than just a step counter. It can track my exercise duration, calories burned, and the distance I've walked in kilometers. What I find really impressive is that even without a smartwatch, I can measure my heart rate using just your phone by placing my finger on the camera and waiting for it to reach 100%. It also has a feature to check my blood pressure, which is quite convenient.

Another great advantage is that it provides insights like “active than usual” trends, it also shows my most active times and it tracks my achievements, which boosts my motivation. Lastly, the most important thing is that the app works offline, so I don’t need Wi-Fi or data for it to function.

# data[].attributes.body
I can adjust my routines by increasing the intensity or duration of my workouts. For example, I could extend the walking time or include some light jogging on Day 1 to burn more calories. On Days 2 and 3, I could add more exercises or increase the sets and repetitions to challenge my muscles further. Tracking progress consistently would also help me make better adjustments.

# data[].attributes.body
Looking at my data, I can set specific goals to improve my fitness. For example, I could aim to increase my step count during walks to 5,000 steps or more, which would burn more calories. For targeted workouts, I can set a goal to increase the number of exercises or active minutes gradually, such as aiming for 25 exercises or 25 active minutes in the next session. These goal-setting consistently will help me stay focused and motivated to reach better results.

Step Counter - Pedometer

One downside of this tool is the blood pressure feature. If the user doesn’t know their systolic, diastolic, and pulse values, they can’t use this part of the app, just like me, as I couldn’t input the required data. Another issue is the ads that sometimes pop up when using the app with Wi-Fi or data on. Although they aren’t frequent, they can be annoying and take around 30 seconds to a minute to finish. Additionally, the app doesn’t have a map or GPS tracker. This means it can’t track your location or show a route if you want to explore a new area, unlike other apps with built-in GPS.

Strava helps you track outdoor activities like running, cycling, and swimming. It shows details like distance, speed, and elevation. The app also has challenges to keep you motivated and lets you connect with friends to share your progress. It syncs with other fitness devices to make tracking easier.

Home workout apps allow you to exercise at home, saving time and money as you don't need to go to gym and pay for the equipment and instructor. They offer many types of workouts for different goals, such as losing weight or building strength. You can choose workouts that fit your fitness level and schedule.

# data[].attributes.body
The free version of Strava has fewer features, and you'll need to pay for access to advanced tools. It can drain your phone’s battery quickly during long workouts. There are privacy concerns because the app tracks your routes, sometimes showing sensitive locations. Some features also need an internet connection, which can be a problem in areas with poor service.

In Home Workout, Some workout need equipment like dumbbells, which limits the exercises you can do if you don’t have them. The app can’t give feedback on your form, and you might not have enough space to do all the exercises.

# data[].attributes.body
I work out every day, but with this app, I'll be more disciplined because I can track my progress, and it'll be more efficient because it gives me an exact time to rest and resume my workout. To adjust my routines, I need to use progressive overload during my workouts so that they are more effective and beneficial to me.

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly, this app isn't very good, but I chose it because my phone couldn't download anymore because it needed an updated IOS, but the advantage of this tool over the others is that you can use it with or without wifi, also you can use it to do the proper push up rather than the incorrect one because you need to place your device below your chest. This app prevents you from cheating when doing push-ups because it can record you while you work out.

# data[].attributes.body
The disadvantage of this tool called 22 push ups is that the only workout that can be counted is push ups, and you must pay to watch the proper push up, so most people who workout would not use it because they prefer an app that counts calories and repetitions in all workouts.

# data[].attributes.body
Because my target is weight loss, I can adjust my speed and distance to a much more difficult than my PR.

I will get help with Strava and the Health app (connected to my smart watch) to assess my pace while jogging. If my personal record in my every run was 5:35 km/h average, I need to set myself and adjust it to 5:20-5:30 km/h in my next run to intensify my workout routine.

# data[].attributes.body
In FCDC, we have an upcoming competition this February until April. Every Friday and Saturday, our workouts for the competing team intensifies.

Sample workouts:

We started off with:

Push-ups - 18, 16, 14, ..., 2

Shoulder Taps - 18, 16, 14, ..., 2

Crunches and Side Crunches - 50 (Mid, Left, Right)

Etc.

So for the next training, we will adjust our counts and add more workouts and across-the-floor exercises to work on. I'm targeting to work on my core and arms because I feel that those are my weakest.

# data[].attributes.body
In using the Health App, I think its advantage is that it can connect to a smart watch. It's easier because you no longer need to carry your phone while working out. Since I now have access to a smartwatch, I can still monitor my heart rate and the calories I've burned from my activities without carrying my phone.

# data[].attributes.body
The Health app can drain your iPhone's battery quickly, especially when tracking activity, heart rate, or other metrics. Using it alongside other apps or notifications can increase battery usage, requiring more frequent charging and reducing the device's overall battery life during extended use.

Based on my data, since I worked on different body targets and performed various types of exercise in my 3-day fitness chlallenge, I observed that the calories I burned each day decreased.

Upon seeing my data while using the Strava App, I see that there is a positive trend in my activity. As an athlete, it is very helpful to identify my data to see if there' s a progress on what am I doing. In my 3 days of having a 5km road run, I saw the improvement most especially when I run in my third day.

# data[].attributes.body
The only thing that I see to adjust my routine is to have an additional work out that focuses on speed, agility and cardiovascular activities. In running, it takes a good physical health in order to run in a long period of time.

# data[].attributes.body
My new goal is to set my road run to 7km. I wanted to increase it gradually to see the better result. I think that there' s no wrong in having an overloading, most especially if it helps our physical health.

# data[].attributes.body
The only advantage that I saw upon using the Strava app is that, it tracks the specific moving time, the distance and what specific time did you started to run. With that, I think there's need to improve with the app.

# data[].attributes.body
The disadvantage that I observed while using the Strava App is that, it can't count the steps that you made while you are running. I think that is some things to consider to improve the function of the said app.

# data[].attributes.body
During my road run test using strava I can see that it helps me to track my speed how many calories I burned and also to know if I reached my quota if there is a progress and it helps also the athletes to monitor their data as well

# data[].attributes.body
for a long time, I haven't done a road run test due to my busy schedule and laziness sometimes I decided to make at least 3-day fitness plan using the app "strava" to keep tracking my data and if I reached the quota also to know my progress, but also i started to 3km so that my body won't shock and not hurt

# data[].attributes.body
upon looking at my data I realized that I could make myself more productive and I can improve my fitness for example on my first day of doing a road run test I can say that I could do a 3km run I burned 229 calories but the next day I can reached my quota and I know to myself that I can also make it more so this goal setting helps me to stay fit and motivated because it has a good result

# data[].attributes.body
"strava" is a great fitness app because you can track your data and progress and it has benefits also to I think the advantage of this app, is that Strava helps you track and analyze your workouts with detailed metrics like distance, pace, and heart rate, making it easier to monitor progress and achieve fitness goals. It fosters motivation through its social features, challenges, and leaderboards, connecting you with a global community of athletes. Strava also offers tools for route discovery, training plans, and safety features like live location sharing, enhancing your performance and overall experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Strava can lead to overtraining or burnout as users may feel pressured to compete with others or achieve personal records. Privacy concerns arise if location data is not managed carefully, potentially exposing sensitive information like home addresses. Additionally, some advanced features and insights require a paid subscription, limiting the app's full potential for free users.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on my data observation, I see a slight difference on my 3-day program, I saw the slight progression and the calories I burned from the 1st day up until the last day. I also saw the consistency in the intensity of the exercise, it keeps me in a light track since I preferred my exercise not too intense.

# data[].attributes.body
In the data I gathered, I really like that I can set the goals I want for only 3-day sets of exercise. I put in the app that I want it just for a fresh start since this is just a comeback from a 5 months with no exercise. This type of system of goal setting will give the user of technology a good experience since most of the users want their program tailored specific on their needs.

Home Workout- No Equipment After three days of using the Home Workout- no equipment app, I'm really impressed. As I'm returning to exercise after a 5 month break, the app has tailored workouts that fit my needs and are easy to follow. No equipment needed, and the routines is I witness as effective. It’s also great for teaching, as it offers personalized routines that will work well for teaching for students.

Heart Rate Monitor- Pulse App The Heart Rate Monitor app is I think a great tool for tracking heart health in an easy way. Using the PPM method, it allows quick and accurate heart rate readings with just a fingertip on the camera. As a teacher testing apps for students, this is an good choice and it’s simple.

# data[].attributes.body
The advantage I observed in the Home Workout- No equipment app is the inaccuracy of it's time, it only measures the time of all the workouts but not the time consumed by the user of it.

In th Heart Rate Monitor- Pulse App, I don't see any disadvantages since I'm amazed in the PPM method.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on my data, I found that this app is really helpful because it has a proper time limit and rest. Without this app, I typically rest for longer than three minutes, but now that I have a time limit, I notice a lot of improvement.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though I work out every day, this app has a significant impact on my goal-setting to become more efficient at push-ups and more disciplined. Because it enables you to perform push-ups correctly and not incorrectly, this app motivates me to concentrate and perform them correctly each and every time. All in all, this app encourages me to work hard every day in order to reach my ideal body.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that my data shows a trend of starting new activities on days 1 and 3, indicating motivation to start new exercises. I also observed a change in activity from walking to biking, showing variation and diversity in my exercises.

# data[].attributes.body
To achieve better results, I will continue using fitness apps like Strava and step counter pedometer to monitor my activities and maintain motivation.

# data[].attributes.body
To set effective goals, I will analyze my data and set targets that are higher than my previous achievements, such as walking 5km or biking 5km. I will also create plans to achieve these goals, including using fitness apps or finding workout buddies.

# data[].attributes.body
The advantages of using Strava and step counter pedometer include features that track my activities, monitor my progress, and connect me with like-minded individuals. For example, Strava provides features to track my activities, monitor my goals, and join challenges with friends.

# data[].attributes.body
The disadvantages of using Strava and step counter pedometer include limitations in features for non-paying users. For example, Strava may have limited features for free users.

# data[].attributes.body
After the fitness routine, I noticed i my data that even in just few minutes of exercise, I can burn a lot of calories. I observed that each day, I gradually increase the intensity of my workout. With this, I can continue working out everyday as I see its positive effect on my physical health.

# data[].attributes.body
The pattern of my exercise is every other day because I have many duties and responsibilities, including schoolwork, household tasks, and helping with my family business, also I noticed that 1 am more active on weekdays compared to weekends.

# data[].attributes.body
I can plan more physical activities on weekends, like morning runs or walks, to balance my activity levels. To avoid feeling lazy and stuck in a cycle of eating, sleeping, and repeating, I can set reminders for short breaks to move around or stretch during the day. This will help me stay active even on less motivated days.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason why I'm doing this is to build my stamina stronger. By gradually increasing my running distance and adding interval training, I'll improve my endurance while also boosting my speed.

Tracking my progress and setting weekly goals will help me stay focused and push my limits. On rest days, stretching and light activities will help with recovery, ensuring I stay on track for stronger stamina.
