Week 2 reflection

 May 23, 2021

Week 2 of senior project was great! This week we spent some time putting together our meal plan. We looked more into our sample plan and adjusted it to our preference. We also spent some time trying to make it more organized and presentable. Also we took some time to meet with Rachel and set up a format for our final project of creating the workout plan. After it had been formatted and we knew what type of workouts to put in certain places of the plan we got started putting it together. We haven’t finished yet, but will continue to finish it up in the next few days. We also of course continued to workout this week. We continued to do less reps with more weight which we had learned during our research is better during the off season. We also switched around some of our workouts. We moved our leg workout to the beginning of the week to avoid being sore for games. We found that the leg workout made us more sore than the others and to give us time to recover before having to compete. We also tried some different exercises within our workouts. I liked our work this week. It was nice to be able to start our final workout plan and getting to continue to workout was nice as well. Similarly to last week there were no surprises except some coffee trips and just getting distracted in conversations a couple of times, but overall it was another very productive week. The workouts from this week will benefit me by making me strong and improving my overall fitness. The work we did on our meal plan helps us learn more about what we need to fuel our bodies and what good options are. Our work on our workout plan will help us to complete our final project to be able to present at express fest. Overall we got a lot of work done on our meal plan and workout plan to help us achieve the goals we set at the beginning of the project. We will spend the next two days working on finishing up our workout plan and creating the final project. We will also continue to work out. It should be a good week!

Senior project day 1

  Monday May 10th, 2021 7:45pm ( 4 and a half hours of work today) Today was the first day of senior project. Rachel Bachman and I started our morning by meeting Rachel Moore at the gym at 9am. We talked with Rachel M. about our plan for the project and what we should accomplish by the end of the day.We decided that this week we would test out different workouts. After talking with Rachel M we began to do research about what types of workouts are best for an off season workout for hockey players and picked which ones we would be using. We then made an outline of our workout plans for the week, focusing on different aspects of fitness each day. Then we looked into what foods were best for gaining muscle, what foods to avoid and what good foods for gaining muscle are, which took us until 11:30, when we took a break for lunch. After lunch at 12 we created a sample meal plan outline. Then we looked at what workouts we would want to do for our agility workout which we went to do around 1.

Reflection- Week one

  May 16, 2021 Week 1 Reflection This week was the start of senior project! This week we learned which workouts and exercises work best and which don’t. Also we learned what foods are good for muscle gain and looked into meal plans. We tried to make a sample meal plan that would work for us with 3 meals and snacks. We also learned about the 5 components of fitness. We used what we learned to help find workouts targeted to these. I liked what we were doing this week. I enjoyed being able to workout and then being able to also go and do some research to learn how specific workouts help certain muscles and to learn about the effect nutrition can have on muscles gain. Our project has gone how we have expected it with no surprises except a trip to starbucks. Things have been on track and we have planned for the whole week. We will benefit from these weeks activities because the workouts will be altered after for the upcoming week and we will have gotten rid of things we found didn’t work. A
