Week 2!

My second week of workouts went pretty well. I went to the rec center 4 times, alternating between cardio and weight conditioning. I even practiced my push ups! Even though I feel like I might be gaining more muscle strength, our lab tours on friday showed me otherwise (I blame my lack of leg strength on the fact that I already worked out that day though). Still I feel like I’m making small improvements. I am going to try to keep working out over thanksgiving break, especially on friday after my huge meal

First Week of Workouts

After meeting with the trainer and having my physical test, we talked and agreed that I should keep up a similar workout routine as what I had been doing, just incorporate more weights and muscle conditioning. So this last week I’ve continued my regular cardio routines while trying to spend a little extra time in the weight room. I worked out 5 times, 3 times doing weights and conditioning. I also went on a couple runs down by the river of Autzen stadium. I’ve defiantly noticed once I get myself to the gym, or make myself work out, I do feel a lot better afterward. I have a lot more energy and feel all together better.
