FITNESS

Biking can be very tiring, as shown in the picture below. The image below was taken after I had to ride my bike home after practice. It was not all the bike’s fault, but it affected my sourness the next day. Biking targets the quad muscles. According to Byrdie, biking for 20-30 minutes is ideal when trying to see results for recovery after a workout, and around 40-60 minutes to build strength and endurance.

Surfing in Hawaii or anywhere is a great way to work out while having fun. I have only ever surfed in Waikiki because that is where most beginners start. The video below captured my first ever time getting up on my board.

This Monday was extremely fun. The Chaminade women’s basketball team joined the ROTC group, which is students in training to become officers in the military. We were required to participate in their physical training, also known as PT, bright and early Monday morning.

According to the article Running and Jogging - Health Benefits, running has many health benefits. A couple of those benefits were bettering mental health, self confidence, healthy aging, and quality of life. If you want a good workout, I suggest running on the beach. As I mentioned in the previous post I play for the women’s basketball team at Chaminade University so my team and I went to our local beach, Kaimana Beach, and did just that. Running is a full body workout head to toe. Some workouts I suggest to do on the beach are: Stretching, short sprints, low lateral movement, air squats, squat jumps, reverse alternating lunge, RDL's to high knees, high knees, burpees, and finally mountain climbers.

Hi, my name is Libby, and I will be posting stuff on fitness, specifically how to make fitness fun. A little about me is that I am 20 years old living my best life in Hawaii. I am a student-athlete at Chaminade University for women's basketball. I am very active, so I am always on the go whenever I am not at practice or school. To start off my blogging I am going to talk a little about my recent hike, the Crouching Lion. This hike was a quick one compared to others considering it was only 0.4 miles long with an elevation gain of 217 feet, according to the website Alltrails. The trail is located right by the Kahana Bay with gorgeous ocean views and the Kamehameha highway below. All of the hike's information can be found at. https://www.alltrails.com.
