Day 7


Today I woke up really sick so I wanted to take it easy. I got to the gym around 12 and I did not have a lot of energy. So I thought to do a mobility day. The first thing I did was roll out. This gets my muscles loose and wakes up my muscles. I got both my lower and upper back, then I flipped around and got my quads followed by IT band and then hamstrings. After rolling out for a bit, I did my hip mobility. I follow along with this guy on YouTube who does yoga and mobility movements. After this, I thought I felt good enough to get a back workout in but I didn't. So I did some barbell rows superseded with pull-ups. then I did lat pull-downs superseded with bicep curls. But I was kind of dying from my sickness so I didn't do more than that.

 Reflection Week One This week has been filled with intense physical activity and a strong focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. My mornings often started with a nutritious breakfast, providing me with the energy I needed for the day ahead. I made sure to prioritize stretching before my workouts, particularly focusing on my hip flexors to alleviate their tightness. This helped prepare my body for the tuff leg workouts that followed. During my weightlifting sessions, I emphasized proper form over heavyweights to ensure I was training effectively and reducing the risk of injury. Lunchtime was an opportunity to refuel and replenish my energy levels. I typically stuck to my go-to meal, an egg salad sandwich with chips, white rice, and a bowl of fruit. It provided a balanced combination of protein, carbohydrates, and nutrients. Afternoons were dedicated to specific sports training, whether it was hockey, golf, or rollerblading. It was an exciting time, and I even had the opportunity...

Reflection 2 I think what I learned from this week was that it is important to listen to your body but also always showing up. Despite my lack of energy some days, I decided to focus on mobility exercises to warm up my muscles. Rolling out my back, quads, IT band, and hamstrings helped me loosen up and prepare for the day. While I initially intended to do a full back workout, my sickness stopped me from pushing further. Listening to my body and adapting my routine was important to prevent any injuries in my recovery. Another notable workout session involved a strategic decision based on an event. With the Lakes Region Championship for golf, I wisely chose to prioritize leg exercises to avoid upper body soreness during the competition. Before hitting the weights, I dedicated time to mobility and stretching, particularly focusing on my hip area. By following a YouTube video, I incorporated various movements that targeted tight hip flexors due to past injuries. Squats, lunges, and hamstr...

 Day 9 Today was the Lakes Region Championship for golf, so I didn't want to hit upper body and be sore during it. So I thought it was smart to hit legs today. I started off on the turf strip where I did some mobility. before mobility, I rolled out and got my muscles loose. I did my usual hip mobility stretches where I followed along with a YouTube video. this is mostly stretches but also some movements that help warm up the muscles in my hip area. Then I did some band work where I focused on my hip flexors, which are super tight due to injuries in the past. After that, I went into the weight room and did some back squats. I went pretty heavy but not too heavy. I did 5-8 reps for 4 working sets. then after that, I did lunges with the barbell. I went really heavy on these with 3-5 reps for each leg and for 5 sets. Then I hopped on the hamstring curl machine and did some sled pushes.  Hours 3 Total 37
