🌻ॐ Better, Faster, Stronger - J_Rho's Fitness Journey ॐ 🌻Long time no update! I've been exercising most days but there are some mornings where I'm am 'sacrificing' my morning workout for a lil extra sleep 😬
The workout I am doing is definitely one you can do every day which I definitely a sign that I need to either increase the reps or use heavier weights.
For me, this workout really gets my heart rate up while being fairly low impact (IDK why but I hate high impact) and while I am a lil sore afterwards it's like the wobbly leg feeling after a long run which is GOOD but it's even better cause I don't wake up sore in the mornings.
Anyways I have changed it a little. Instead of 'swimmers' I'm doing more pile squats, so I'm doing 20 in 1st, 20 in 2nd and 20 in 3rd and I'm enjoying it a lot more. I really want to make exercise a habit and a lifestyle, so I'm going to be pushing myself to (get out of bed and) exercise for 21 days straight and then for 90 days straight. Now, obviously, if my body needs a rest I will rest it and ill do morning yoga session instead I'm just trying to build a habit of having a set time every morning to exercise my body.
Most days I've been doing this workout in the morning (and a few times over the last week have been doing it in the arvo as well) and yoga and meditation in the evening. With remote learning, I'm sitting in front of a computer a lot more and when i stretch my back out, which i do multiple times a day, it cracks so much! Its either really loud or its like crackcrackcrackcrackcrackcrack crack its really bad even when I sit with good posture but I have started using a yoga block or foam roller in the natural curve of my back to prevent me from slouching and that's helping a bit so I'm thinking of incorporating some stretching or a quick workout into my lunch break just so I'm not sitting for 5, 6 or sometimes 13 (oop) hours a day. Because some days I know I'm going to be studying from 8/8:30am to 8 or 9pm with only breaks for recess, lunch, a half our one at 3:15 and aq break for dinner so I have to make sure I am doing what I can because there has been and will be days where I'll be effectively sitting all day.
I've also been eating mostly healthy (I bought skittles yesterday oops), I've been eating quinoa with walnuts or a green smoothie with peanut butter or hemp powder and lunches are usually pasta (not healthy hehe oops) or like cooked veg and tofu (I like making crumbled tofu with quinoa and whatever veg we have (today its sweet potato and spinach)) and dinners can range from biocheese toast to vegan sausages or burgers or toast with banana and peanut butter. So overall, what I eat is fairly good (except dinner most nights haha) so I'm not fazed about that I just need to make sure I drink more water and less black tea
tl;dr - aiming to do 21 days exercise and then 90 days exercise and make sure I'm stretching/being active during recess and lunch
