For our class we are to identify some sort of long-term goal to accomplish by the end of the semester whether it be athletic, physical, or health related. When I was younger, my favorite class was gym class and our school used to have a metal pull-up bar. At a much younger age, I was able to do 5 pull-ups in a row. Today, I have been focusing on fitness and living a healthy lifestyle and I have noticed when it is my back and bicep day, I do not spend as much time as I should in strengthening my back. More specifically, when I do pull-ups they are assisted and I have been stuck on the same weight for a while now. So for my long-term goal, I will hopefully be able to complete 5 consecutive unassisted pull-ups.
In terms of my action plan , I will create smaller, short-term goals that I will accomplish along the way of the next 10 weeks to work my way up to achieving my long-term goal. Each week I will be decreasing weight with assisted pull-ups down to no weight. The number of pull-ups will also start at 5 and move down to 1 pull-up with decreasing weight up until week 5, then 1 to 5 pull-ups without weight up until week 10.
For the measurement of my pull-ups, I will be recording the weight and number of pull-ups for the first 5 weeks, and the number of pull-ups with no weight for the last 5 weeks. If possible, I will have each day recorded as well.
Over the next several weeks I will be keeping up to day my short-term goals and I will also be updating this blog frequently with reflections for each week.
