Week 8: workout 1

 For my first exercise for week 8 we went Mountain biking again on may 27th. And the duration was roughly the same time arriving there by 10 and leaving there by 3:30-4. Thé intensity this time was much lower since it was raining and we didn’t get to do do too much biking. Regardless I was still tiered and sweeting since the activity even at a lower intensity is still quite challenging. We did get to play around on my favourite part of the park, the obstacle course.

I went on a run on may 20th for 10 minutes. The run wasn’t long but very intense because I ran. I wanted to start warming up for mountain biking by working on my cardio. I was exhausted when I returned home.

Week 7: workout 2

 For my workout I went mountain biking with the school on may 26th. The duration of archivity was quite long starting at 8:30 and going until 4. I found the intensity very high because I’m not used to this much cardio. We did a lot of drills in the beginning but then moved onto trails. The trails were very difficult because they were narrow, bumpy and in certain areas steep or required to get up a hill. Regardless it was a fun activity to do with friends.
