February Personal Workout Plan

This is my personal workout plan that was made by my mentor Brenda Prokop, for the month of February. As you see each day it tells me what I'm going to be working on.  "PT" stands for my workout sessions with my mentor, which are on Mondays and Wednesdays. The other days are my independent component days, except for Sundays. On the top left right below where my name is located,  my goals for this month are written there which are Primary-Tone overall  muscle, strength, gain muscle secondary, and nutrition-eat more protein 3 meals, 2 snacks. This month my mentor really challenged me which helped me be able to lift heavier now. She is really nice and helpful with my senior topic. I'm really glad to have her as my mentor. I feel like she has help me not only on my project but also with my fitness goals as well.

The first step in living a healthy and fit life is to adopt healthy eating habits to your everyday life by measuring and consuming the right foods.

Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

What I plan to do for my 30 hour of Independent Component 2 is to follow my own personal workout plan that my mentor creates each month for me. It tells me what I should be working on each day, meaning what parts of the body and workouts I should be doing. My workout plan also contains tips on the proper techniques and the function of each workout. I will be doing my Independent Component 2 the 24 Hour Fitness, which is where I do my mentorship at. 

2. Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

To show evidence of my 30 hours of Independent Component 2, I will not only show it physically but I will also show by having pictures and videos while training. I will also be posting a picture of how my personal workout plan looks and I will be keeping my Independent Component 2 hours updated to show evidence on what I did each day. 

3.  Explain how this component will help you explore your topic in more depth.

This component will help me explore my topic in more depth by learning the basics of getting fit and getting to know how muscle mass is really increased. Following my workout plan  everyday it will really help me  become an expert in training to build muscle and understand the foundation of what it takes to maintain fit and healthy.

Blog 14: Independent Component 1

I, Leslie Salazar, affirm that I completed my Independent Component 1 which represents 36 hours of work.

My mentor Brenda Prokop helped me with my Independent Component 1. 

My Independent Component 1 hours are updated on the right side of my blog under the link as Senior Project Hours. 

What I completed for Independent Component 1 was following the schedule that  my mentor Brenda Prokop gave me for my daily workouts. This really is the most important and helpful source so far for this project besides mentorship. I think got 2 of my answers to my EQ from this independent component.    

My 36 hours of Independent component 1 was I basically followed my daily workout plan that my mentor created for me. What I learned  was the importance of weight training and how to prevent injury during a workout. Then whatever I learned that day I would research the science part behind all of this stuff. I've learned so much from this independent component. I will be putting up  videos of the different workouts that are helpful to all for preventing injury in the gym. I also have pictures of the supplements and nutrition that I have been taking and eating.  I actually have previously put up pictures of my monthly workout plan and my protein shake that I consume after a workout for my extra blog assignment.

This component really gave me more time to really research and discover many great ways that I could answer my EQ. The foundation of this component is really the basics of getting fit and getting to know how muscle mass is really increased. Training almost everyday to really become an expert in training to build muscle has made me realizes that it takes time to start seeing results. There is lots to still learn but I now know the 2 most important parts for my EQ.

January Post

This is a photo of the app "MyFitnessPal". This app was introduced to me by my mentor Brenda Prokob. MyFitnessPal has helped my throughout my journey of trying to stay fit, by helping me not get over the amount of calories I should be consuming daily. Which as you can see on the picture, my calorie daily intake is 1,800. Each day I put all the meals I consume and it automatically calculates the calories and gives me the amount of calories I have left. It's my own personal fitness diary.
