Having some experience in exercising and having played an ultimate frisbee tournament after a while, I decided to start regular strength and conditioning training to improve my physical fitness and help me in ultimate frisbee. I opted for an online program(Morrill Functional Performance and Training), which gave me daily exercises along with videos to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I followed this program for around 4 months, from June to September. In these 4 months I saw significant improvement in my physical fitness, in areas such as endurance, speed, strength and power, and improved physique. Yet, I faced several challenges along the way which I was forced to overcome. One of the main challenges was making enough time to exercise daily, and although this seemed difficult at first, as I developed time-management skills I was able to prioritize and complete my workouts almost everyday. I had to showcase the learner profile \u201cBalanced\u201d. I also faced challenges in several of the exercises, such as not being able to lift the mentioned amount of weight. This frustrated me and I looked for immediate solutions, which rarely seemed to work. Yet, by the end of the program I was able to far exceed the recommended amount of weight, making me realize that progress takes time, and persistence is key to success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On several days I had to wake up before dawn to workout, or stay up till midnight. This seemed very difficult at the time, as I had to drag myself to the gym. But I now understand the importance of working hard and being consistent to achieve results. I have also started implementing this learning to other areas of my life, such as studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another task in the program was to get proper nutrition, which was seemingly impossible for me as I have a sweet tooth. At the beginning of each week I would try to eat right, but by the third day of the week I would go back to my unhealthy eating habits. This persisted throughout the program, and hence I was unable to see the significant change in my physique that I wanted. This \u201cfailure\u201d made me realize the importance of discipline, and is a challenge I would like to try and overcome in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion, this strength and conditioning program was a very demanding, yet effective one, which I am proud to have completed. This CAS experience allowed me to stop thinking about studies for some time every day and focus on holistic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
