October 2nd - Core Training Class - Resistance Band Exercises (exercises involving pulling the band in one direction, while partner pulls the band in the opposite direction: lunges, side-facing pulls, forward-facing pulls), Medicine Ball Exercises (throwing the ball to partner, throwing and shuffling, kneeling and passing the ball to each other (clockwise and counter-clockwise), standing and passing the ball to each other (clockwise and counter-clockwise)), No Equipment Exercises (deep lunges, cherry-pickers)
Today's class required stamina and was difficult to complete. However, I left the class feeling refreshed and stronger, specifically in my legs. The lunges were the most challenging because they required me to not only lower myself into the lunge position, but also to pause a moment while lunging, putting a large strain on my upper legs. I did five sets of ten lunges to complete the exercise, and by the end, my legs were slightly sore and quite tired
I continue to see improvements in my physical well-being. I no longer run out of breath when climbing staircases, or feel the need to sit down after walking across campus. I have also noticed an improvement in my posture. I attribute these successes to both this core training class and my daily exercise of walking to classes, libraries, and dining halls. Between these two, I am gradually getting into shape!
