Doing the personal fitness for four months was one of the biggest challenges in my life. I had to lose my weight to improve my health issues and liver status. As a student who hates all different kinds of sports, while loves eating various foods, losing the weight seemed impossible when I first decided to do so. Therefore, planning for my fitness program and goal needed quite a long time. I had to study how to create the fitness program, I had to get some help from my supervisor on building the plan that best fits my ability and current health status, and I even had to take care of my meal schedule based on the advice given by nutritionist. Doing these things, at first, was uncomfortable. I did not want to do those activities since it did not match with my lifestyle at all. However, every time I was about to give up, I reminded myself of the changes I will be able to experience when I finish this fitness program. I thought about the better future I can dream with better health status. This strong motivation allowed the fitness plans to get integrated into my life routine smoothly. For me, as I go through the fitness plans, it felt more like part of my life, rather than the task somebody gave to me. Furthermore, getting interested in and learning more about fitness even gave me the ability to change the fitness plan by myself (which supervisor agreed upon). Now, I feel proud that I was able to design this fitness program, modify the program to fit my life routine and achieve this plan as I expected in August.

Finishing this fitness activity, I learned many things about my fitness and myself. When I started the fitness, I was pessimistic whether I can run on a treadmill for even thirty minutes. Indeed, in the beginning, I had to stop every ten minutes to catch up my breath - which always made me feel I should give up. However, running on the treadmill almost every day started to make improvements in my running time. After a few weeks, I could run 20 minutes without rest, and now I can run 30 minutes without rest. Regarding the abdominal machine, I knew I was strong enough to carry many different heavy things. In fact, when I first pulled level 100 on the abdominal machine, it did not feel that painful to me.  But, when I first tried to pull level 120 at the beginning of the fitness, I knew that I had to work on my abdominal part more - it was so difficult for me to carry. I am now satisfied that my efforts on the abdominal part of my body are reflected on my body and the fact that I can carry level 120. As such, there are many growths in my personal fitness through the exercises I completed through this fitness program.

Working out in the gym almost every day for this four months, there are many changes in my life (as I mentioned before). In 2018, I got a medical checkup twice - once in Shanghai in August and once in Seoul in December. I believe the comparison between two medical checkups will represent whether I succeeded in my fitness program. In August, the doctor made a note that I weight too much than normal weight and accordingly the liver may have severe issues; however, in December, the doctor told me that I only have to decrease 4-5 more kilograms to be on shape. As well, he suggested the liver issues will soon be resolved as I lose that 4-5 kilogram weight. When I heard this news, I was thrilled that I made an improvement in my life. I do not have to worry too much about the possibility of getting severe diseases or the worst case scenarios.

And that's why this fitness activity is so meaningful to me. It allowed me to have a healthier life and decreased the risk of getting any bad diseases. Furthermore, it implemented a healthy habit in my life, which is going to the gym every day to work out. Even after finishing this fitness program, I will still continue to work out to lose 4-5 kilograms (and probably lose more for May prom or graduation ceremony). I am confident my experience of losing weight and gaining health through the fitness program will be a good motivation for me in the future to continue to work out (especially in the cases where I hate to work out again).

Coming back to Shanghai, I had to work out a little bit more to catch up the workouts that I missed during the time I was in Korea. As usual, I ran on the treadmill for about 20 minutes, worked on muscles for 5 minutes with Manfit app and worked on the abdominal machine. I tried my best to get used to level 120. It was difficult to pull my body up and down at level 120; however, as I put more power into my chest and stomach, it slowly became more comfortable.

I moved from Seoul to Incheon. The fitness continues. Although I still cannot have access to fitness machines I had in Shanghai, I am still using the fitness machines that are available in the nearby park in Incheon. My supervisor also agreed continuing work out at the park can still be helpful for me to lose weight (or at least maintain my weight) while I am eating so much delicious food from Korean restaurants.

I am in Korea, but I am still working out! There are a lot of limitations on doing so, working out during the vacation will indeed a good factor for my body (especially, regarding I eat a lot during the holiday)

It was indeed the toughest time of the year. There were so many school works that I had to accomplish along with all different kinds of applications I had to finish. Still, the work out continues even in thr coldest time of the year! I finally reached level 110 in my abdominal machine based on the practicies I had for a long time. I reached 80% of the goal in terms of my weight loss plan - with a bit more work out next year, it will be 100% achieved!

# data[].attributes.body
Although I lost track of updating the log book - I did not forget to take a photo from every single week! I am running for 25 minutes and working on abdominal machine for remaining five minutes. The level in abdominal machine is increasing everytime and I will soon reach 110!

# data[].attributes.body
Indeed it was one of the busiest weeks I've ever had. However, I tried to make sure I hit the gym every day. As I am working for the goal of increasing my level for the abdominal stretch machine, I am placing more effort on working with those machines - and I also have to work more on muscles, so this works. Else than that, there is nothing special this week!

Although it seems like this log book is becoming more like a weekly log book, I worked out every day on Week 3 and 4 of October. The muscle training is working well and actually became the most enjoying part of my exercise. The interesting observation that I made this time is that I do not feel pain in my legs if I am concentrated on something else while I am running, even I run for 30 minutes - it is not as dangerous as it sounds like. Moreover, I am better if I pace myself using the intervals in the treadmill. I will reflect these observations to my future workouts so that I can be more efficient while enjoying this work out more!

For this week, I was really busy - However, I continued my work out. Finally, I came back to my original pace and modules I created for myself. I am doing both cardio machine related activities and muscle strength related activities. I lost more weight than before. Muscle training, at first, was very harsh punishment for me; however, now, it became the most interesting part of my training - Horray!

# data[].attributes.body
It has been one of the busiest weeks that I've experienced in my life! However, I did not stop my training. Although I forgot to update this log book, I lost 3 more kilograms for these two weeks. I also made the muscle training as part of my training routine at the gym - at first, I felt weird to perform those exercises in the gym, but I got used to it.

Now, I am performing 15 minutes muscle training and 15 minutes cardio machine training (or biking, walking). Until October 3rd, the gym will be closed, hence I have to replace my training with biking or walking.

During the weekend, I found an interesting foudning. Going to the school is important for me to work out more comfortable. I weighted my bag and learned it is 12kg in average. In other words, I am carrying 12kg bag on my back everyday and walk around the school! Therefore, when I get home and walk without the bags, I become more comfortable walking on the treadmill - it is a natural preparatory exercise for me.

# data[].attributes.body
Still in recovery, but with improvement. My legs started to hurt less than yesterdday. Moreover, I was able to set the high incline and speed as before. I believe I came back to my normal pace and therefore believe I can improve myself to the higher level.

# data[].attributes.body
Well, it was quite difficult for me to resume. Since I did not train my body for a while, it was much more difficult for me to walk on the treadmill. However, I am certain that as soon as I hit the gym everyday, I will come back to my own pace. For the recovery, I walked a bit slower than usual!

Today was a little bit different from my other days. I increased the time of my exercise to 40 minutes so that I can put more variety into my future fitness plan. Still, in contents wise, there are restricted to the cardiovascular machines in the gym - of course, I started to feel boring about them. I allocated 10 minutes each for every machine in the gym. Starting from tomorrow, I am planning to add jumping rope into my basic exercise routine.

# data[].attributes.body
For September 7th, I tried to increase my intensity of the work out. Therefore, not only the treadmill, I also used the bench press in the gym to work on my abs.

# data[].attributes.body
I forgot to upload the works that I've done for these few days. There have been several changes in my workout. Rather than adding the jumping rope, I decided to add biking to my fitness plan. According to Naver, the biking can release 300kcal in 20 minutes - which is more efficient than just walking in the gym. As well, the gym is closed for the fixing so for a few days until it opens again, I will probably mix the biking and walking correctly into my temporary plan.

I was busy for these three days. I, of course, went to the gym everyday. The exercies focused on keeping my pace for the this training - I should not forget what I've done for these few days - keeping the momentum!

# data[].attributes.body
Since the gym was closed for a while, the only option that I had was to walk - of course, to ensure I perform enough exercise, I decided to walk for an hour than half an hour. Fortunately, gym opened again in October 4th and I worked out in the gym again. Since I took a rest for a while, I had to recover again. Hence, I focused more on cardio exercises to ensure I have enough power back in my body as before October Break.

# data[].attributes.body
The training for September 2nd, placed more emphasis on the training of my legs and physical strength. Because I had difficulty on exercising for a long time, I must increase my physical strength as soon as possible. For now, I have to rest every 5 minutes, but I hope I can make it into 10 minutes later.

# data[].attributes.body
I worked out using the five cardiovascular machines in the gym. To ensure, I can train both my legs, shoulders and arms, I used the each machine for 10 minutes.

# data[].attributes.body
For this personal fitness experience, I will try to work out every day, even for a short period. Not only just working out in the gym, but I will also make a fitness log book which I can share with the trainer. These days, I started to feel that my weight may one day cause the diseases or problem on my body. Therefore, the most important goal for this personal fitness activity is to lose weight. The trainer will only provide me with some tips on the fitness and check my fitness plan and progress. I will make the fitness plan by myself. I will also try to change my diet with the help of the professional nutrient. The success in fitness will not only be represented by the weight but also be checked by whether I achieved several goals that I set for myself.
