What makes this week particularly special is the achievement of a significant personal milestone that is reaching 100 jumping jacks in a single session. This accomplishment is not just a numbers but, it is also a testament to the power of consistent incremental progress.

The journey from Week 2 to Week 4 has been one of the learning, adaptation & growth also. After receiving the valuable feedback from seniors about maintaining uniform increments. I have diligently applied a +5 repetition increase strategy each week. This disciplined approach has made what once seemed challenging now feel achievable & sustainable.
