3) We use every minute of class time for our workout. The only thing we could do would be to super-set every exercise; but that would be counteracting our goals.
4) Our workout has proven to be effective so far, but we have learned that some days go quicker than others so some exercises will be added to the select days.

1) I like the 4 week workout because it means that if I need to, I can switch the days of my workouts around. If for some reason I can't do the workout I had planned for today, then I can just do the one I had planned for tomorrow instead. It's very convenient.

4.No because everything is well planned out
Gloria Avedano, pd.8
1. I like the idea of having a four-week program since it can be more personalized for you and your personal goals and help you achieve them quicker.
ReplyDelete2. I think I am using my time efficiently. If I ever do finish early, I always find another work out to add in.
3. I could try to avoid under-programming by adding in more sets or workouts.
4. I don't think I need to change my goals right now. Everything is going pretty well.
Danny Mack
Period 8
1). I think that I need to redesign my program, because, although it is not faulty, it lacks enough of a punch to really help me meet my goals.
ReplyDelete2). I belive that we are using our time effectively, because we often do not have any time for anything but working out, and if we do, we fill it with auxillary lifts.
3). Instead of lollygagging in between sets, I could do some minor auxillary lifts, if such an action is appropriate to the situation, of course.
4). Yes, although my new goal to look better and jump higher is not based on the workouts, but rather on external sources. Also, after doing bench press, I realized I will probably not reach my goal of increasing it by 15 pounds.
Aleksander Psurek
1. I beleive my four week workout is extremely effective
ReplyDelete2. I think that I am spending my time efficiently
3. Mabye we could speed up to allow an extra set
4. one change that I have made is to do weighted pull-ups instead of regular pull-up due to the fact that the amout I was previously doing was making me dizzy
Dalton Johnson
1. I feel that my work out will help me achieve my goal.
ReplyDelete. I am spending time efficiently, but sometimes ending too early.
3. I could add more reps or sets or even another exercise.
4. I think on fridays i should do more than a 20 minute metcon, maybe a lap around the track to cool down
Pd. 5 James Kuldell
1) I think it's a great opportunity to see who can put in work when the time comes to see what you've really got
ReplyDelete2)I think we're using our time effectively as we've filled up our workouts to the brim and add-lib when we haven't (only twice)
3)Work out more
4)not as of yet
^ Jared Welsh
DeletePd 8
1. it's a good opportunity to tune our daily workouts to our personal specifications for maximum results

Cameron Siasi -period 2
1. I like the program because it increases motivation to work hard. We all want to reach our goals and work harder in order to achieve them.
ReplyDelete2. For the most part I feel I am, and my group is using our time wisely. There have been days where I've been too tired from morning practice to work hard, but I always do my lifts.
3. More cohesive group work and communication.
4. Given my goals, I believe that my four week program is progressing well and does not require any changes.

Alyssa Kopsidas period 8

3. More sets could be added to the workouts so that there is less time left at the end of the workout.
