Today I did 20 minutes on the treadmill and the remaining time working on my component of fitness. On the treadmill I did intervals of running and walking, because I was experiencing some knee pain from a basketball game a few days ago. My component of fitness is flexibility, so I completed my own stretch routine to loosen some tight muscles but also just working on my overall flexibility.

Todays workout was hard in the beginning but better in the end. I haven’t been on the treadmill for a very long time, so I struggled to run for a consistent time. This may also be due to my knee pain. But the stretching in the end helped a lot.

I don’t know if I was a big fan of the treadmill, and instead now thinking about it, I prefer the elliptical. I will probably resort back to using the elliptical next time.

Today I used the program Keep to do my workouts. I first started with a 20 minute cardio workout from the by Zhou Liu ye. Then I worked on my chosen component of fitness, flexibility. Also on Keep I did on a yoga exercise that worked on all parts of the body.

I found the cardio workout that I did first extremely challenging and pushy on my physical state. Seen from my heart rate graph, in the first 20 minutes my heart rate was extremely high. The movements required great control and strength. Later with the stretching workout I found it really soothing. Since I have been having basketball practices every day this week, being able to loosen tight muscles was really relieving.

Although I didn’t start with using a treadmill or other gym equipment, I enjoyed this type of workout. I think I will do the same for next time.

Today I did the same exact workout as last time. I used the program Keep to do my workouts. I first started with a 20 minute cardio workout from the by Zhou Liu ye. Then I worked on my chosen component of fitness, flexibility. Also on Keep I did on a yoga exercise that worked on all parts of the body.

I really enjoyed todays workout. I felt challenged but also comfortable at the intensity level. However, I did feel a bit tired while doing the workouts. I think this is because that I have been doing basketball every day these past few weeks.

Absolutely the same thing!!

Although these past times I have been doing the same thing, I have been consistently making effort to increase the difficulty of my workouts. The program that I use, Keep, is essential and extremely helpful to helping me achieve progressive overload. Keep categorizes its workouts through level, from 1-5. I actually started from level 1 and now I am doing level 3 workouts.
