Since last week I have worked out every day that I had a workout planned. I have felt much better overall since I have started my workout regime. I have enjoyed the program that I created for myself because it leaves little room for excuses to be made while I am working out. This past year I was uncommitted to working out stemming purely from laziness. Now that I have all the time in the world I have no excuse for not working out. As time goes on I hope to slightly alter the lifts that I do so I keep the workouts fresh and effective. I am excited to see how I progress during the quarantine.
After being encouraged to make my prototype less focused on myself and look to involve others I decided to make it a competition between my brother and I. We decided that we would lift using the same weight lifting plan that I made for my prototype so we didn’t receive advantages from varying workouts. The end of the competition will be once we are free from quarantine and we will see who has increased their lifts the most since our start last week.
I think as time goes on I may include friends in the competition or let them do it within their own families. I hear a lot of people say that they don’t have the facilities to workouts so I have been thinking about creating workouts with stuff that can be found at any house or uses bodyweight. By no means am I fitness guru but with platforms like YouTube I can research effective workouts used by fitness professionals. We could also use Zoom so that every person who is involved can workout at the same so we can hold each other accountable.
I thought the experience of creating a prototype for a plan made the experience much more efficient. I understood the goal of what I wanted to accomplish more clearly than not preparing for it through multiple levels. Going through each step of laying the plan out made it much easier to see what was feasible given the circumstances as well as making it more organized.
