"SEC-S29W2:My Progressive Action (Jumping Jack)"
It's wonderful to be back in the Steemit challenge, focusing on nurturing my physical, mental, and overall wellbeing through consistent fitness efforts 💪. Last week's experience was truly beneficial, and I've made a conscious decision to stay committed to this journey, even on days when my health hasn't been cooperating, especially this week, when I've been dealing with some challenging health issues 😷.
The coaches were understanding and allowed us to switch exercises if we weren't comfortable with the initial one, and I'm grateful for that flexibility 😊. Personally, I had to make a switch from squats to jumping jacks due to an injury I sustained on the construction site, I've got a nasty spot on the back of my thigh that's been causing me a lot of pain whenever I try to squat.
Given the circumstances, jumping jacks seem like a more sensible option, and I'll likely stick with them for the remainder of the challenge if possible. Thanks for understanding, and I'm looking forward to keeping up with the team.
On day 1 which was Monday, I executed 35 repetition of Jumping Jack, and below are the steps by steps guide on how I did it....
- I stand with my feet together, arms by my sides.
- Jump my feet out to the sides, about shoulder-width apart.
- At the same time, raise my arms above my head, almost touching.
- Immediately jump back to the starting position.
- Repeat quickly and continuously.
While performing this exercise, I tried to land softly on the balls of my feet to avoid injury. I keep my core engaged and my back straight.
How I felt
I was paying attention to that injury on my thigh, but it didn't hurt. I was feeling relieved and happy knowing fully well that I'll complete the repetition without much pains. Since it's day 1, and the repetition wasn't much, I didn't feel much pain as expected, it was a successful day 1 of my progressive action.

On day 2 which was Wednesday, I executed 45 repetition, adding additional 10 reps to the previous one which was 35 reps. I executed this program after our normal workout routine that day with stayfit fitness club. And as usual, I followed the normal Steps by steps guide yo complete it, and try landing softly to avoid ankle injury.
How I felt
This time around, I wasn't paying attention to my thigh because day 1 was successful without pains. I felt energetic because the repetition was increased by 10, sweat were dropping down my face and that gave me satisfaction that truly I'm really burning some calories. My heart rate and my respiration was increased compared to the day 1 because of the energy and repetition.

Oh yes, today being Saturday was the final day to complete my progressive action. I added 10 more repetition to the 45 reps to make it 55 reps. This simply means that each day, I'm adding 10 reps as my progressive action. I'm satisfied with the added reps because it's a continuous process, and I don't want to push myself beyond my limit.
How I felt
Today's feelings was great, I was satisfied and I felt accomplished. Though I felt a bit tired when I reached 42 repetition, I didn't stop but to push myself and complete the 55 determined repetition. When I hit the 50 repetition, the fatigue was gone, and I felt I should continue to 70 repetition or more.

One thing I've come to discover is that, the more you do the exercise, increase the reps gradually, the more you'll enjoy the program. I really want to thank the coaches for this increament of repetition each day, it makes one master the program, master it and enjoy it. See you all next week.
I'd like to invite @okere-blessing @whizzbro4eva and @paholags to participate

¡Holaaa amigo!🤗
Los saltos de tijera son un ejercicio encantador. La resistencia que logramos con este tipo de dinámicas es impresionante... Te confieso que yo los detestaba jajajaja, pero con el paso del tiempo, terminé enamoradas de ellos; de hecho, me han ayudado mucho en mi actividad del atletismo.
Espero que te mejores de la lesión que tienes. Las compresas frías son de gran ayuda en estos casos.
Mucho éxito en la dinámica... Un fuerte abrazo💚
