Week 4

Workout 1

Workout 2

QUESTION:

Do you feel different this week… more energy, better sleep, better mood, or increased self-confidence? What effect is the activity plan having on you? How long should you rest after completing a muscular strength or endurance workout? Why? What happens if you don’t?

ANSWER:

Unfortunately, with the quarantine situation my fitness quality has actually decreased from what is the usual. It’s hard to be motivated to do a home workout when you’re used to going to the gym for workouts. I feel less energetic, and motivated to do workouts currently. Ideally you should rest for at least 1 day before targeting the same muscle groups. Your body needs rest to heals the micro tears sustained in your muscles during training, as well as replenish it’s energy reserves, failure to do so will result in injury and muscle fatigue.
