Week #6: Third Video

Week 6 Questions
Do you feel different this week… more energy, better sleep, better mood, or increased self-confidence? What effect is the activity plan having on you? What have been some major barriers so far in your activity plan? How have you adapted your plan to overcome these barriers? What solutions have you found? How long should you rest after completing a muscular strength or endurance workout? Why? What happens if you don’t?
I found that this week has definitely been different in terms of my energy level, my amount of sleep, my mood and my self-confidence as well in a positive way. I feel that the activity plan has had a good effect on me overall, in that I’m becoming more self motivated about creating a workout plan for my future endeavours and I’m experiencing good results from working out weekly. The only barrier that I’ve had doing these videos has been preparing to film and edit the videos on iMovie. I usually workout in advance so that I could have the right amount of time to film and edit the videos. After completing a muscular strength or endurance workout, the recommended amount of time of rest is 48 hours to prevent injury and allow recovery. If you do not rest between your workouts, there is an increased risk of developing injuries like shin splints.
