"SEC-S25W3:Building Strength (Increased Intensity)"

1000054224.jpg

I have Successfully moved into this week three. Althrough these week was full of weather problems, muscle pain—but I still made it through. And at this point it's really what's matters to me,which is a healthier lifestyle. We have finally moved from just building our fitness to increasing the intensity of the whole training we had.

I did all the programs for three days straight, and one day I decided to do everything in one session—to challenge myself and see how far I’ve come. It was not easy at all, but I thank God—I made it. In all,Let me just share my full experience on these week three more clearly, the way it really happened.


🏃🏽‍♂️ WARM-UP – My Brisk Walk and Jump Rope excersice (5 min)

I did the necessary warmup for up to 5 minutes. It didn’t look like much, but it really woke up my body to be active ahead the excersices.I started sweating early. I could feel the blood moving in my body. My legs and shoulders felt lighter and ready to start working. These particular set of warm-up reminded me to be more focused from the beginning of any excersice.


🏋🏽 My DUMBBELL DEADLIFTS – 3 sets of 12 reps

However, as usual, I used the 5kg dumbbells from our training center for these excersice. However I stood very straight, bent my waist very carefully, and I lifted the “dumbbells” with good control and balance as being taught from the lesson post.

  • How I really felt: I felt it well in my back, waist, and back of my thighs. It stretched me. After the second set, I already knew I’d feel it the next day.

  • Challenge: My grip was weak near the end of it. I had to take small breaks between each sets. However I can remember at one particular point, I was thinking on my mind “Is this really how bodybuilders feel every day?” 😂 But well...!I didn’t stop doing it till I reach the end of each set.


🙌🏽 My INCLINE PUSH-UPS – 3 sets of 10 reps

I placed both hands on the edge of the hard tool I used, my feet on the floor behind. As I lowered my chest down, I realized how much balance was needed to stay strong and not fall forward.

  • How I really felt: Chaii, Oh my God,My arms,my chest, and core altogether worked so hard for these excersice, receiving all the stress I put them through. I really felt like my body was too heavy, and my hands were trying to carry all my weight. My shoulders began to shake in the second set. But I was all fit on day three.

  • My Challenge: I nearly slipped once during the second rep. My arms were wobbling, and I had to stop and adjust my palm grip. I stayed focused after that. Well I must say that It was really hard on my day one and day two, but I finished the set with pride on the day three. I made it through on the day three.


🪽 My DUMBBELL SHOULDER FLYS – 3 sets of 12 reps

That day, I planned to do this excersice part at the training center.But rain started suddenly, and I had to stop halfway and go home to complete it.

  • How I felt: I was not happy at first. I went home when the rain began.But I finished the session back in home thoe the weather was cloudy. I felt the load from my shoulders and my back swinging it up and down as if I am flying. At the day one and two I couldn't do it properly, But I was all fit on day three.
  • Challenge: Training at home It’s not the same as the center. At home, I had to stand beside the wall mirror to check my arm level and shoulder movement. I had to also looked for dumbbells. But I thank God there's was another option. I filled up two bottle of water,each weighing up to 1.5kg.** All these is for my health**.

💪🏽 SIDE PLANK – 2 sets of 20 seconds per side

This one doesn’t look so hard—but when you just start holding your body in the air with just one elbow, it will surely humbles you.

  • How I felt: The side of my stomach and my waist felt tight. I could feel the strength in my abs pulling everything together.
  • Challenge: The left side was tougher than the right side. My elbow started to move on the mat. I had to shift and focus on balance. I counted “1 to 20” in my mind like slow prayer. When I dropped down, and Also finished the Left side I smiled. But in day three all was well.

🧘🏽COOL DOWN – Full Body Stretch

This part was soft and calming. I began from stretching my head down to my legs, pulled my arms back, and rolled my shoulders so gently to have relief from the excersice.

  • How I felt: I felt light up on my body, even though I was really tired. My breathing was deep and peaceful. I was proud of myself. I whispered “Thank You God” because finishing Week Three felt like crossing a very big mountain.

My Overall REFLECTIONS Althrough this week

My sweaty 🥵 face

Some people might think strength is only when we try to lift up heavy weights. But the simple truth is that the true strength is also for us doing our best, coming back after a short rest, and not giving up even when we feel weak or tired when things go wrong.

As I learned from @ngoenyi ,all of us shouldn't be afraid to start excersicing. We don’t need to be perfect,we all can start as a beginner,with time we will be experts. One's only need to be willingfull,patient and consistently to make it out to a healthier lifestyle.

Coach @ngoenyi, thank you again. For always checking on us, reminding us of why health matters, and staying faithful to this excersice journey with us. May Jah always bless you for standing with us and always pushing us to keep going on excersice. I'm grateful. 🙏🏽
