Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

CONTENT:
(1) Write a description of what you plan on doing for your independent study component.

• As of right now, I have been working out with both cardio and weight training, as suggested by my first interview. Through research, I found that circuit training is very effective, and helps a person get in shape. Basically, what circuit training is, is that the workout combines cardio and resistance in one exercise. You use a moderate weight, do many repetitions, and repeat with each muscle group. This is what I want to do. This type of training can be achieved in gyms like Curves, or bootcamps like CrossFit. However, paying for training like that is really expensive, and from what I have researched not necessary; it can be easily be done at home. This method is the type of training that is in many advertised workouts like P90X and Insanity. I want to see if workouts like that, really do produce the results they propose. I will use that workout as a guide to what to do. 
• I want this as an experience to a different kind of training, and proof that you don't need big equipment to get good results. 

(2) Describe in detail how you think your plan will meet the 30 hours work requirement.

• Circuit training is very effective, and very tiring, and the videos only last about 40 minutes. However, the program lasts for 90 days, and I will make sure to start 100 days earlier in order to finish the program, and put everything together. 

(3) How does your independent study component relate to your working EQ?

• My working EQ is "what is the most effective exercise and nutritional plan in order to become healthy and fit?" Something along those lines. Circuit training is a type of exercise plan, and along with clean eating, it will be one step closer to finding an answer to my essential question. Since this is a 90 day program, I don't just want to stick to one thing. Every 30 days, I will change the eating plan and see the results with the different nutritional plan.
