Evidence of Work

This is the evidence of work for the project, which is the fitness log. We started this near the beginning of March, and it spanned four weeks. We were to log our activities and track our progress to reach a goal that we set. The way I chose my SMART Goal was by thinking a bit about what kind of progress I wanted to make in my daily life and activities and what I thought I would want to improve upon. I decided to improve on my muscular strength and endurance for my SMART Goal, specifically by being able to do more push-ups and holding a plank for longer. After I decided on my goal, I started the log with a sort of outline. I set up a chart to track how much sleep I was getting every night, a chart for what I was eating, a mood and pain level check, and some more. After learning about efficiency in workouts by being in your target heart rate range, I would workout in intervals, or a H.I.I.T (High Intensity Interval Training) workout, which would bring my heart rate up then down by doing an intense exercise for a minute or so then resting in proportionally to the amount of time you exercised. At the end of the month, I had reached my goal and even a bit more, and I could kind of feel the progress I had made, like when we ran in PE.

Below are the pictures of my Fitness Log, and directly below is actually the cardio log that we used in class to track our running when we would run in class. The way we tracked it was to log the time of the run, the distance, and your heart rate immediately after you finished running, and an equation in the chart would automatically calcuate your average pace. After running, we would also write reflections on how well we thought we did or the reason we didn't do well or didn't run.
