- Do you prefer the 1-minute challenge or Tabata workout? Explain why.
I personally like the Tabata workout better as it is a higher intensity interval training. It tires my muscles quicker than the 1-minute challenge and is more challenging. So, it improves my cardiovascular fitness as well as my muscular fitness.
- What are your stress levels before and after physical activity?
My stress levels are definitively lower after physical activity. It permits me to blow some steam off.
- Comment on what motivates you (or not) to follow the workouts?
My main motivation to follow the workouts is to get a good grade in the course. I would obviously workout even without the class by my exercises would be more focused on my legs and glutes rather than anything else. I have also been wanting to improve my cardio, but I dislike doing intensive cardio, thus I find the workouts are a good way to do so.
- How many servings of fruits and vegetables should you eat each day? Are you getting enough? If not, how could you ensure that you do?
Is it recommended to eat five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables per day. In my case, I do get enough servings per day because I compliment my breakfast with fruits, I always have some cucumbers, carrots or celery packed in my lunch box and I also eat salad frequently with my supper.
