Check-In:
Hey Macy! Glad your free from all the tests for a while and have had a chance to decompress a little! I apologize for not doing a video this week, but I doubt you want to hear my raspy voice as I recover from this cold! So lets kickstart your check-in!
Check-in Form:
Looks like your nutrition is better this week! Is it just because you're not eating out as much since you didn't have any tests to study for? Or what happened this week?👀
In regards to practicum placement, that's rough. Do you at least have any connections with other hospitals within the area? Will you be able to do clinicals at a different hospital by chance that do have NICU spots? Also how close are you to graduating? Do you want to stay in SC or go elsewhere anyways? Lol, sorry for the billion questions!
As for the steps, I implemented a task reminder in Everfit to help you try to reach 8k steps a day! We'll adjust it after a couple of weeks to see how things go! I just want to see a little more activity aside from the gym is all!
Also did you want me to move any workouts this week, especially if you have Pilates tomorrow? Also, I don't know if the form got cut off, but it looks like your friends wanted to try something?
Also in regards of the form videos, here are a few suggestions:
do you want me to use the videos I send as a replacement to the workout videos?
I can also leave them in the comments section of the workout section?
I'm not sure if you see it, but I also try and leave tips underneath the exercise video as you're performing the workout - if you don't see that, let me know!
I can also try and upload the form corrections to your check-ins too if that helps!
Let me know your thoughts and I'll implement the changes ASAP! (I wish Everfit was more helpful in that regards)
Workout Form:
45 degree row: I think you can lean a little bit more forward. Also try pausing at the top for 1 second and then slowly lower the weight down to starting position.
Bicep curls: Try not to swing into the dumbbells. I like to put my back against the wall or something to help me not swing the weight! Otherwise, it looks great!
Lat pulldowns: Bring the bar down to about clavicle height! It doesn't need to hit sternum area
Rows are looking great! :)
YOU'RE DOING GREAT! I know I'm nitpicky on form, but I want to help you develop the proper mind muscle connection along with hitting the muscle properly! Keep it up!
Summary/Homework:
Steps
Lets aim to hit 8k steps a day! :)
Workout Program:
Looks great! I think we can crank up the intensity of some of the workouts! 🔥
Switched the step-ups for Bulgarian split squat!
I also added alternative exercises to the leg press, so if you need to pivot to the horizontal leg press, you can switch to that exercise instead - that way you don't need to comment the weights and sets! Hopefully that's easier for you!
If you can, try to film the last sets of your workout. However, if short on time, don't worry about it!
Lets try to leave comments/videos on the workout itself? See if that's easier to track your videos
