Last Day, Day 27

Today is the last day and what we did during the two periods were:

12 mins of basket ball

Roughly 1 hour of dodge ball

and then to finish off 10 mins of running outside

Reflection of it all:

I feel that over the weeks my cardiovascular fitness has improved at a fair rate because today we were running around like headless chock's mostly me though and I was puffed but I still ran a fair distance and I didn't feel any more puffed than I was at the start, so it looks like all the running around with my friends and running on the treadmill has worked on me and I think I will keep this up because I don't want to become a slouch.

I also believe that the fitness that I have been doing especially the push ups I found has improved my ability to run much longer distances with out getting tired so fast I also think that the running around with my friends has helped but I think the main area that has improved it the most is all the running around we have been doing in sport with the treadmills and the cross trainers were a big help because the more time you are on them the more time you leg muscles are building themselves up and like wise it becomes easier to run and therefore you can run a lot longer if you keep up the regime, also all the other sports we have been doing.

So that's is the end of all that I have done on this subject I won't stop with the fitness though because I have been feeling great with the exercise I have been doing so that all I have time for folks so that's it for now.

30 backwards push ups

Day 10

Day 7

Nothing happening today apart from going to the MCG. Same thing again tonight with the usual 25 push ups before bed.

Day 6

Toady I did have a relaxing power walk for 20 minutes but I unfortunately could do my usual 20 push ups because I had to go straight to bed, tomorrow I won't be going for a run because I have decided to go for a 10 to 20 minute run or power walk every second day so I can focus on my homework on those days.

Day 5 Out of time

Today couldn't do anything because I had to have a hair cut and then a shower which isn't good because I need to have my ten minutes runs before hand and even worse is that I have to push really hard if I want to get my I health project done in time.

I hope it all goes well.

Day 4 Runnig again

Today was a better day than the previous two because to day I did go for a run on the walking machine for ten minutes and I can tell you now that it was a lot easier than when we first started the fitness training. The ten minutes flew by but I think that was mostly because I was watching a movie while running. The best part out of all of this is that the next time I go out for a run at school it is only going to get easier for me.

Till next time.

Day 3 Golf and Quad bike

Today I did get a chance to do some exercise but unfortunately it was cardiovascular no, I was playing a spot of golf on my grandfathers field although there isn't much involved in golf, it did feel great to be outside and doing something active up there. After I cleaned out the golf ball bag I had to go pick them up on the quad bike, but tomorrow I did go out for a run.

Rest day from push ups.

Day 2 I had no choice

Didn't do anything because we were travelling up to grandparents for the weekend so I was unable to do any running in the dark once we were up there.

Day 1 Run and tumble

Hello I'm back but this blog is about my personal challenge to improve my cardiovascular fitness and so far the start has gone well. I started first of the cross-trainers, I put the toughness up to the max and got that going for ten minutes, from a personal point of view it was easy. My heart rate after I got off the cross-trainer was only 84, I was a bit disappointed because the right rate of your heart should be 120 to 125 I think. The next piece of equipment I used was the tread mill and that went really smoothly for the ten minutes but two times during my run the safety clip popped out of the place where it should be, after the second time it did that it happened I was getting annoyed. The last piece of equipment I used was the rowing machines, I tried to race my friend but I pulled out because I had the resistance up to high. I didn't get as much time on that as was expected, but I wasn't to bothered about that. I forgot to mention that at the end of the period I was skipping in one of the other rooms (bad idea if the room has a fan in it or any furniture for that matter) and when the teacher told us to pack up I tried to do a double skip but I didn't watch where I was because as soon as I tried it the skipping rope flicked up into the slowly turning fan and I ended up on the floor after that. I'm hoping to do better next time but as things are they are going pretty well for now.
