My fellow fitness friends, greetings to you all. It’s already Week 4 with a twinkle of an eye and we’re moving forward with this our fitness journey. I’m so excited to make it up to this week four. Looking back at Week 3, it was really tough for me, but those of us who pushed through it we really saw the good rewards. Let’s unleash this week with the same energy and full determination!

In this week for we have only two excersice to accomplish, which are :- Plank Shoulder Tap and the Burpee. From what I have learnt on the lesson post, these two excersice works on the whole body, and they’re both fun and challenging to do. Let me break them down how I did mine:

Plank Shoulder Tap

---

This is the body plank position ,that works almost every part of the body while helping the body with stability and coordination.

How I Do It:

1. I start by Keeping my body in a plank position, keeping my legs -width apart and my hands directly under my shoulders, and my palms on the floor.
2. I touch my left shoulder with my right hand, then my right shoulder with my left hand.
3. I make sure that my body stays balance and stable in a straight line from my head to my heels.
4. I make i have tightened my belly muscles (core) throughout to keep my abs engaged in this challenging excersice.
5. I tried to maintain a straight line on my body to avoid letting my hips move too much or rising above my shoulder level.
6. I breathe steadily as I go and successfully complete the three set of repetition.

Burpee

This is an exercise that includes about three other excersices like squats, planks, and jumps. So since the lesson post excluded the push-up to make it More easier, I skip the push-up step too. I focus on the squat and jump movements while maintaining the plank position too.

How I Do It:

1. I stand with my feet separated apart.
2. I squat down, i kept my chest up and place my hands on the floor in front of me.
3. I jump my feet back into a plank position, keeping my body straight and my core tight.
4. I jump my feet forward to return to the squat position.
5. From the squat, I jump explosively into the air and lift my feet off the ground.
   6.My landing was very soft, and I returned to the squatting position, and repeat the movement.
