For the past two weeks I’ve been working out consistently around 3-5 workouts per week and within those two weeks I have split each day up into different workouts to target different body parts. Below I have logged my workout split and the exercises within each day. So far, I really enjoy running around the lake near my house which is around 5 kilometres. I also enjoy doing daily yoga through YouTube which I linked below. I have been incorporating this into my routine in the evening so I can use it as a mechanism to relax my body for bedtime. My least favourite workout day is legs as it’s definitely the hardest of the splits and I find I get the most sore from it the following day.

After staying consistent with this routine for the past two weeks I’ve noticed almost immediately after the workout that I am in a better mood, more positive, and more confident with myself. In the long run, after doing it for two weeks I’ve noticed a slight change in my body which has helped my confidence a lot and made me feel more motivated to continue with this. So far my anxiety still persists and although I don’t expect this to get rid of it, I expect it to help me cope with it. I’ve noticed my anxiety has reduced a little bit and I think it’s because these workouts uplift my mood for a bit which tricks my brain into not needing to feel anxious.

I wonder within the next few weeks if I will notice any more changes in my body and mind and I’m excited to see where this will take me. Next week, I will begin to look at different technology strategies to incorporate into my routine, such as wellness apps and videos. I can try these different strategies for myself and reflect on how they can help me feel more motivated, guide my practice, or force me to take accountability in my workouts.
