Steelers bye week update

    It is now week 9 in the NFL season and the Steelers enter the bye week with a record of 6-2. It has been an interesting season with more highs than lows so far. One underestimated factor to the team I think is, rookie receiver out of Michigan, Roman Wilson. This may not be the answer the team is looking for at the receiver room. However, it could be a spark on the offense as a solid receiver number 2 behind the outstanding star in George Pickens. The remaining season is evidently harder than what is has been so far. Starting with the first game in Washington against a confident, deadly Commanders team with star quarterback Jayden Daniels. The following six out of the last eight games will be against division rivals, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, and the Baltimore Ravens. The two out of six out of the last eight games is against the Philadelphia Eagles and the reigning Super Bowl champs Kansas City Chiefs. Let’s go LERS!!!

 Walking

    Walking can be used as a low impact cardio workout. It can be on flat ground or to add variety, you can incorporate walking up hills. To make it fun and joyful, you can put in earbuds and listen to your favorite playlist or podcast. It is just important to your furry friends, and walking is an easy way to enrich and keep them active.  Hiking is another variety of walking you can include your pets in. (Picture is my dawg Rocky in costume this past neighborhood trick or treating as a ferocious lion :) 

First day back in the gym

Push - Pull - Legs

    The push pull legs program is a popular way to go about lifting weights. This is a program I enjoy because it offers three days in a row of working, then a single rest day after the last day. This type of structure allows for workouts to be on unspecified days. The rest day is not on the same day every week. Today I went back to the gym for the first time in a long time and I worked shoulders and chest (push). Tomorrow will be back and biceps (pull). On Thursday it will be leg day and then on Friday it will be a rest day. 

 Burnout

Burnout is real and relatable. You can experience burnout within school, your job, and exercise.. It is important to remember your goals, and your “why.” If you feel like you are experiencing burnout symptoms to try and change things up. It can be little or big adjustments.
