Senior Project Update

What are you currently doing in your independent component? 

Well I have currently started changing my diet and on my fourth workout day. Since most boot camp class focus on gaining strength and diet i have created a workout plan for gaining strength and still building upon it.

(2) What is a recent piece of research (article, interview, or audio-visual) that have you reviewed you would say was significant in helping you understand where to go next in your senior project?  The piece of research should be something you reviewed in November.  Please explain what you learned and where are you going next because of this piece of research.

Last week Monday I heard a group of trainers from my boot camp class talk about the difference between gaining muscle and building strength. This was really significant because I realize I was confusing muscle building with strength building.The difference is that gaining muscle helps you build some strength but not as much as strength building workouts because you lift slowly and your focus is to get big. My main focus is to gain some muscle but also gain a lot of strength which requires and active workout such as 10 push ups then lift weights for each rep so basically its a quick really intense workout. This info was really helpful because now i know what to focus on which is to gain strength and become more flexible.

(3) Provide evidence from your independent component or the piece of research as something you recently did.  For example, a photo of something you working on for your independent component or your notes from the video you watched. 

I don't have any photo yet but I'll be posting some Monday.
