Week 5 Questions

a) In general, I probably feel the same as the previous weeks. However, I am definitely in a better mood because this past week was a busy one and It is finally over. b) The effect that this activity plan is having on me is that it is forcing to somewhat work on my cardiovascular system which I don’t really work during my own exercise program. c) My major barriers in my activity plan right now I would say are how tired I am and my dehydration. To overcome these barriers I am really trying to improve my sleeping schedule and to start drinking at least 2-4 bottles of water a day. d) The solution I found is to give my body one day to two day period where I give it time to repair the the muscles I work on and I also always try to force myself to stretch after every workout I complete in order to avoid any future injuries or soreness. e) My nutrition habits that I have set myself were to not skip a meal and to have balanced meals. So far I’ve really been impressed with myself because for the majority of time I respected my nutrition goal. My sleep schedule for this past week was truly poor compared to the previous week due to the fact that I had a really busy week with mid-terms and all. However, I believe this is not an excuse since sleep is so important and the thing keeping me from the required amount of sleep is my lack of organization in my homework. From now on I will try to really work on being more organized since it definitely has a negative impact on my physical and intellectual performance.
