My fitness routine for the week ended 29th September, 2024, State public holiday football ⚽⚽ game

• This is the second week where our football game has been played twice unlike other weeks. This is due to the public holidays we have been having in my country. The first week was due to a religious celebration whereas last week's was declared by my state of residence. It was for the workers. We, at StayFit fitness club have learned to take advantage of these public holidays to play football ⚽⚽⚽ game.

Remember that we always play on Wednesdays but only those who happened to be on ground plays. But on holidays, we have a fuller house because most civil servants do come around and join and they love it a lot.

It therefore follows that apart from playing this game on Monday being the holiday, we also played on Wednesday as a routine but they were all fun 😊😊. Full update in due course.

• Apart from that football which was a special feature for last week, we also attended a special fitness event that was hosted by the president of the fitness community in my city of residence. This is a yearly event but in previous years. I only attended as a member of my former fitness group. But this year, I and my fitness group were invited to attend and being that I have joined the fitness community as an instructor, I was used to perform a program during the event. It was one of its kind. Full details in due course.

• As a fitness instructor, my target is to get some fitness equipments that will be used in training my clients. This past week, 4 step boards which we contracted out to be produced for us since 2 weeks ago were delivered to us. We were so excited to receive them and these ones added up to ones we had already to make them 12 in number. We still need more because most training days, we do have more than 15 persons at a time to train and if we are to use step boards, then some persons won't have step boards to use. It has been a matter of concern to me but gradually, the number will keep increasing as cash comes in.

• Our fitness training for last week was based on exactly what we (I and my teammate ) put out last week for the engagement challenge. Last week focused on getting stronger legs and that is what I also focused on. The reason is because I also have steemians who are members of my fitness group that I train who also participates in the fitness engagement challenge. Focussing on exactly what we are training users on has been so helpful to them to be able to participate. I therefore present below, the trainings we had last week on fitness days.

Monday workout/State public Holiday football game

Upon learning that a public holiday was declared last week Monday being the 23rd of September by the state government, I quickly announced our football game. The information came late though, but I had to put it up with the announcement image design I made already for that purpose and sent it to our group for acceptance. The screenshot is below

I got acceptance and that gave me the confidence that we were going to play it. I made arrangements to go out with the Steemit jersey in my possession which I printed years back during my Steemit aggressive promotional days.

We started our day with fitness training. We warmed up with few programs, then we began programs that helped built and strengthened the muscles at the leg region. The pictures are here below

After the programs, we also stretched. We then switched to football ⚽⚽⚽ game by 8.15 am. We played the first half, rested for 15 minutes and then completed the second half. It was a very interesting game as we played full field.

The first half was dominated by the blue team as they inflicted us with 4 goals which we managed to reply only one goal.

But the second half saw a turnaround. My team which was the yellow team dominated the game and equalised and even made several attempts to score a winning goal but success was not on our side that day because we missed so many brilliant opportunities. We dominated the game to the point that the memory the blue team began to blame themselves and became very angry that they had to influence the referee to end the game abruptly. That was a fantastic game. Though I didn't score any of the goals, but I made efforts to assist those that scored. It was a happy day for us. But it was just a fun game for everyone. We all had to take the result as it was. See some pictures below

Wednesday workout/Another football game

I thought perhaps, that members won't like to play another football game on Wednesday due to the one played on Monday, but no, they were more than willing to play again.

We began our day with fitness training as usual. We also focused on programs that strengthened the leg muscles. But we began with warmup programs and ended with stretches

Among the pictures above are the pictures of the new step boards that were delivered to us which we already paid for.

By 8:15 am as usually, we played football game but without the Steemit jersey because the incessant rain in my city of residence didn't allow the jerseys to dry after I washed them. There was no football pictures but we played using a mini goal post. It ended draw. We all did our best to score but our attempts weren't successful. I keeped for team and did so very well. No goal was given.

I was quick to leave the playground because of my appointment with the fitness community. But others stayed behind to have a little refreshment before leaving the vanue.

Friday programs

We went again on Friday and continued with the programs for the week. Members were already having pains on their legs. Some didn't come due to the pain and according to them, they want to reserve their strength for Saturday event. Well, I trained those who ground, lessening the programs.

We began with Warmups and ended with stretches as usual.

I ended the class and then recorded all the videos I used for this week's engagement challenge training.

Among the pictures above are the pictures showing our fitness group flex which we hung at the entrance of the street where the playground is. It is directly facing the airport road which will give a direction to those seeking to join us. It is strategically located for easy access.

Saturday training

Saturday was the Day we went for the special outdoor event. I already reported it in my post which I already reported in my post 2 days ago here

Expect update by next week. Remain healthy till then! Cheers!

Best regards!
