StayFit Club: Highlights of My fitness activities for the Week Ending 9th June, 2024. Aerobics training. 🆕A little comment chat by the Steemian members

It's was another week and a no ew week in the month of June and I already drafted a timetable of events for the month.

_{designed with PicsArt app}

From the schedule above, we are to take on aerobics in this first week, lots of legs In the second week, butts in the third week and arms/shoulder in the forth week. Then at the end of the month, that is, in our last Saturday, we are going to try something different. We are including health tips.

That is to say that there will be no swimming this month. And it may likely not be an outdoor event. It is something that is going to be done in our workout location. I have already contacted 2 medical personnel, a doctor and a nurse with experience who are also our members to take us on the health tips that we need to bear in mind while exercising. The topics for the tips have been broken down into two so that each of them will take one at a time. They will be made known to use in our last week update. I believe that it is going to add spice to our event.

Week 1 exercise focus

Like it's indicated on the schedule, we focused on aerobics this past week.

Aerobic exercises is also known as cardiovascular exercises. It has to do with improving our heart health, it tones our muscles. When it comes to our heart health, it helps us to increase the rate at which our heart takes in oxygen and release carbon dioxide from the body. It helps to keep the heart, lungs and blood vessels in good condition.

Aerobics helps to make our bone stronger and helps reduce the risk of falls, it helps to maintain mobility and helps with weight loss.

Programs for aerobics includes but not limited to the following

Jump squats, jump rope, jumping jacks, high knees, butt kicks, running and walking including swimming. But we concentrated on few and expanded them.

For example, take a look at what we did within the week

Monday training

Being the beginning of the week, we started with the programs for the week. These programs form the foundation throughout the week.

We began with jump rope. Good enough, I had a lot of skipping ropes and I had to release them for this program. Our target was 500 jumps or skips for each member. Anyone that comes joins the program. It was a wonderful program to begin with. I personally never knew that jump rope has such a powerful effects on humans. It is what I will advise anyone to take on.

From there, we moved to jogging stationary jogging using the step boards. We jogged 300 times but it was broken down into 3 of 100 each. You was really strenuous. I will also advise everyone to go for this.

Then we moved to jump squats. But this is the type that you open your legs while squatting and close it up and jumping. Our target was 300 but broken down into 25 each. But we ended with 200 because our legs were aching already.

Then we took on sides punching where we had to move from one side to the other while punching the air. We lift one of the legs from the floor while punching the opposite direction.

These were the programs for the first day. We stretched at the end and dismissed

Wednesday training

We repeated all these programs on Wednesday. It was more strenuous than even Monday training.

We began again with jump rope s, then jump squats, then high knee. But we made use of the twist. We targeted one knee at a time and we combined jumping with it. This means that, we one of your knees are up for your opposite hand to tap, the other leg down is being lifted above the ground. It a wonderful program too. We did 100 at a time and hit 300 in all.

And others followed.

Then we moved to the field for football ⚽⚽⚽⚽. Oh, sorry, I didn't inform you that part of the program we incorporated this month was football. We are to add it to our programs for those who love to play the same way we do add laune tennis to our programs. It is optional.

So, even though we were just few for the day, we played. We paired into 3 against 4. It was I, @fifapresido, and @alli001 on one hand and then @kidi40 3 others on the other hand.. it was a wonderful program to us. Though we won those other side, it was just for fun.

We were all involved in the playing. No one was on ground to capture action pictures.

Friday training

Unfortunately, we weren't able to train on Friday because it rained cat and dog here in my city of residence, at least my side. I personally wasn't able to leave the house. I communicated with our secretary to put up a notice on the group

One member who lives next building to the playground was able to go out when the rain gave a little space but before she read the notice.

Saturday training

We had a fuller house on Saturday. We as well repeated most of those programs especially the jump rope, jump squats, punching with both hands and single hand, both up and sides. Along with other programs that left us so exhausted and in pain as it were. But trust me, it wasn't pain. One of my instructors once told us that it is a muscle activation and not pain.

What to expect this new week

It is already a new week. And so, we are going to take on the new program for the new week. That if for week 2. We are going for lots of legs. It is good so that we can strengthen the leg muscles.

We will include football ⚽⚽⚽ on Wednesday.

I will update us if there any other thing.
