The video starts with a brisk wall to school and after, an explanation of my preferred secondary cardio workout: dancing (not filmed for the sake of my dignity). Then, the video shows me doing the ‘1-minute workout challenge’. ***not seen: stretching!!!
How do you feel about the intensity of 1-minute sets?
Because I am sort of out of shape, the intensity of the challenge is a little intense (for lack of a better word) but not unmanageable.
Identify 1 exercise that you liked and explain why.
I really like the jump squats simply because I can feel it doing something (I feel the burn, if you will)
Identify 1 exercise that you disliked and explain why.
I. Hate. Chair dips. I can’t do them or at least not properly, they hurt, just overall not a pleasurable experience.
Comment on your ability to fit a workout into your schedule each week.
I definitely have enough free-time to fit a workout or two in a week. It’s a matter of discipline and motivation at this point.
