A 30 Day Commitment - Alyssa Burnside

This is my 30 Day Commitment

For the next 30 days, I will be following this workout schedule that I've made to help improve my endurance and health. I plan on accomplishing this as much as possible with my Roommate Kailee.

Day 1

To start off my first day doing this commitment my roommate and I took pictures of our selves as the before the workout pictures. We all measured our arm's, stomach's, waists, and thighs to see where we are at and for future reference on how far we've gone. 

For me the run was pretty difficult due to my lack of running experience and, in general, I'm just not a runner. I know that as I progress I will get better, but for now, the running is difficult. I ran on the treadmill on the third floor of my apartment building for 5 minutes on speed 4.5. Afterward, I found it a bit hard to breathe. 

Everything else wasn't so bad. I can do all of the other things just fine without worry. I'm not so worried about the other things until I get further along where everything gets's harder. For now, though, Everything seems just fine. 

Day 2

Today's run was a lot easier than yesterdays. I was able to run the full 5 minutes just fine. The workout was harder due to soreness but it was a lot of fun and so worth the soreness. I went with my roommate today and while she went up to our apartment to finish the work out after the run, I decided to stay in the gym to finish. I felt like it would give me more room and the ability to listen to my music on my speaker.

Day 3

Today was the start of my 8-minute run and I had such a difficult time. After two days of working out, I was able to breath just fine but I was super sore and that made it hard on my legs during the run. 

This time, my roommate wanted to work out at night and I didn't feel like doing that. So I went and worked out with my boyfriend Maccoy after church. He was super sore afterward while I was just fine. I've gotten used to the soreness by now except for when I run.  We had fun and I think he enjoyed it. While I struggled with doing the 6 push-ups he was cranking out 20. However, I was able to do the rest of the work out without much difficulty while he struggled. I hope that I can workout again with him when my roommate and I can't do it together.
