S.M.A.R.T. Goal
For this project, my S.M.A.R.T. Goal was to increase by muscular strength by sticking to a routine. The ultimate goal was to be able to bench press 105 lbs.
Description
This log mainly focused on simply making sure that I stuck to my routine, and checking to make sure how I was feeling overall about a workout I just completed.
My Routine
After every workout I gave a number based on how I felt about that workout, as well as wrote down some notes about my prior hydration, sleep, and caloric intake.
Overall, my fitness journey went well. Today I am able to bench press 105 with relative ease and am very satisfied with my results.
Concepts
SMART GOAL - A SMART goal is used to help guide goal setting. SMART is an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely.
PERIODIZATION - Periodization is a form or resistance training that may be defined as strategic implementation of specific training phases.
FITT PRINCIPLE - The FITT principles are an exercise prescription to help participants understand how long and how hard they should exercise. FITT is acronym that stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type.
OVERLOAD PRINCIPLE - The overload principle means that to improve any aspect of physical fitness the individual must continually increase the demands placed on the appropriate body systems.
HEART RATE (resting HR, Target heart rate or THRR) - Your RHR is the number of times your heart beats per minute while you're at rest. Your target heart rate is a range of numbers that reflect how fast your heart should be beating when you exercise.
RESISTANCE TRAINING - Resistance training is a form of physical activity that is designed to improve muscular fitness by exercising a muscle or a muscle group against external resistance.
BODY WEIGHT EXERCISES - Body weight exercises (also called body weight workouts) are strength-training exercises that use an individual's own weight to provide resistance against gravity.
HEALTH COMPONENTS - Health-related components of Physical Fitness. There are five components of physical fitness: body composition, flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and cardiorespiratory endurance.
Reflection
Overall, I am satisfied for what this project did for me. It not only taught me self discipline, but it also made me develop habits that will benefit me in the future in terms of fitness. When doing this project, I took me a little to get used to the training. The first week, I was pretty sore and my body was not yet used to the schedule I had began to follow. After a few days, I started to feel a lot better and was starting to notice positive changes in my mood and body. Some things I could have done better for this project were make more in depth records. I chose to use scale ratings for how I was feeling, instead of detailed reports on the individual aspects of my experiences. That vagueness made it hard to learn. However in the end I still benefited greatly from this project and it put me on a good path for the future.
