with the current situation of finals and provincials coming up, my exercise sessions will be few and far in between. And will only pickup again after school is over. This means that I can't post much about it anymore. There is a possibility I might be able to squeeze one in but highly unlikely. Since this might be the final post about home fitness I will just talk about what I learned over the year. When I first started I had a goal, which was to lose weight for my brother's wedding in India. All I did was run on a constant speed on a constant incline for an hour and did core training right after. During this period I learned how if I went at it everyday I would eventually improve. meaning after a short while I would have to increase speed and incline until it became difficult again. I did this about 5 times throughout the short period i had. I went from 4 speed and 4 incline to 4.5 speed to 9 incline. I could have went even more but it was already too late since it was time to go to India. my parents said there was a huge improvement in my weight. I lost weight. I even noticed improvement in my overall fitness. I could go faster than before and last longer. I felt good about myself and I knew I could improve more with time if I did this everyday. After coming back, I was a little sick and had to sit out for a while. When I was all better I was out of the previous groove I had, so I had to push myself to get back on. But when I finally started again I quickly got back to the original enthusiasm. I felt like doing more and more, I was even more excited than before. I thought why not do some cardio training, so I introduce a regime similar to 1 minuet on and off. Originally I started with the program in the treadmill but ditched it for doing it my way. I did the same frequency as the treadmill but with more speed and incline. The top speed and incline in the program was 4 and 9. when I did it was 4.5 and 12. With the old regime before leaving I lost 600 calories, with the new one I lost 1000. As time went on i noticed I wasn't getting the previous results. I mulled over the plan of going back to the original but then realized I forgot to include the core training. Once I introduced there was better results. I learned how that the cardio training was beneficial to improved fitness and how core training( body bridge, crunches, sit ups, etc..)was beneficial to my weight loss. I feel that my new regime is way better to my body than the old one. The old one was all about weight loss, but the new one is about both weight loss and fitness. I have learned a lot about my body from doing this type of exercise than anything else that i did before. Sadly I can not do this at this point of time but I hope I can continue this in the future and and get better results and improve my body.
