Questions
1. When i first started the workouts, the one minute sets felt like a long time and the burn began super fast. This usually made me not want to continue, however, as I did the workouts more I could see the strength increasing in my abs for example and could do a larger number of reps. It became somewhat of a competition to me once I could do more as I pushed myself to keep going each time.
2. One exercise I loved was the side curls. At first I hated them, they burned like crazy and it made me stop many times. Towards the end of the second week however, I could do more and went faster and kept getting stronger and soon enough it made me want to keep going until I couldn’t do anymore.
3. I disliked the mountain climbers as I felt I couldn’t get the proper form for it. I tried to do it so that the strain wasn’t just on my lower back yet it didn’t work. I also sometimes felt that due to my bad form it did nothing for my body except cause me pain and this made me sad.
4. It was a bit hard to fit the workouts into my schedule. This was purely due to the fact that I usually get up early and have a full day of work and school, this means when I get home I usually have little motivation left. There was also the fact that I had a lot of tests in the past week and therefore I was stressed out about everything and had to push myself to workout.
