Questions:
a) I do not feel much different this week because (luckily for me) these workouts started happening as my hockey season came to a close, so the amount of exercise done in a week for me did not really change too much, and thus I did not feel much different.
b) The activity plan is having a positive effect on my weeks. I usually do the workouts on a Sunday which allows me to rest up well for Monday and start my weeks on the right track
c) A major barrier has been an increasing load of schoolwork. This barrier has been overcome by allocating myself less procrastination time.
d) Each trained muscle group needs between 2-4 days to recover. This gives the muscles enough time to repair between workouts. If rest is not given, the muscle will continue to tear and will never heal or improve. Also, the risk of injury increases.
e) My nutrition habit goals were to reduce fat and sugar intake. They have been going quite well. However, I attended a family wedding this week, so I couldn’t resist having my fair share of delicious foods. SLEEP: My sleeping habits have been pretty much excellent for the past couple of years and have not changed this week. I got around 7-8 hours of sleep every night (except travel days).
