Tony Martins - Gyming it up No.3

Today on the 6th of March we were able to do as we liked considering we were here a couple of times before and we knew what to do and how to do it without injuring ourselves. I chose to do the rowing Machine as my warm up for each day because it is my favourite and slowly I have gotten better at it, I can now row more than 1000m in 5 min. I thought this to be a great achievement, I also done slow cycling to cool down but to keep moving and afterwards I went and done some weight lifting on the shoulder machine.

I would also put my participation at achieved yet again because I had forgotten my towel and bottle yet again. I did try a lot harder than normal today, I think it is because I had succeed a goal I had placed on myself with the rowing machine and had felt up beat about it. I had accomplished five sets of the shoulder weights at 25 kg and two sets of the 5min 1000m rowing exercise.

Many factors influenced my participation today like accomplishing my goal and making me want to accomplish even more and when I past 1000m in under 5min it gave me even more motivation to continue, to see how far I can go. Another factor would be in-class rivalry, this meant we were trying to see who can build up more muscle in a limited time and I was surprised that my arms became more tuned up than I had previously thought.

A way to improve would be to have opened up more so we could have done the in-class battle earlier and would have had extra motivation to get stronger. Another thing I need to work on are my legs, the whole time there I have only worked on my chest, arms and shoulders.
