Hello all! So as expected, my Aerobic Conditioning class got more difficult. There's a lot of running involved and for some reason running has always been difficult for me. I notice that the first lap is fine, but then I get distracted by how heavy I start breathing and then I become aware of the fact that I am tired. I do thing that it's more psychological then anything and would love to overcome that conception. In all honesty, right now I would take 6 minutes of wall sits over two laps of running.
I am not dropping the class though, because I feel so amazing afterwards. This week has been stressful, and exercise has been the only thing that has really helped me to destress and relax. Outside of class, I also went to the Recreation Center twice and both times I rode the stationary bike on the Cardio Fitness Level 6 Setting. One of the times that I went I also did some resistance, as well.
Well, here's to doing cardiovascular exercise at least 5 times a week next week! Until then, here's this thought:
Were you considering dropping?!? I love that you're keeping track of everything on the blog. We have to do the things we're bad at in order to improve, right?? So here's to running and I'm glad to hear you're still incorporating some resistance training into the mix so you don't lose the strength you gained last semester. Well done, Naheed!
