Wow, here I am as I successfully stepped into the third week of this amazing learning challenge program. I’m feeling very stronger and more capable, balance and thrilled on my body health than when I started on the week 1.On This week three challenge it really focuses on thejump squats, side squats, and lunges. These three most powerful exercise focuses on the target to improve our lower body strength. For me, these exercises are more than just a fitness routine or daily exercise. Instead ,they’re a path for me toward achieving practical goals and becoming more confident in my physical strength and abilities in my daily life. With my knowledge from the lesson post,below, I’ll explain and detail how I performed these exercises, their benefits to the body, and why I need them to strengthen my lower body and accomplish important tasks in my daily lifestyle.
Jump Squats
Jump squats are a high-energy exercise,and as the name shows it's a two excersice combined together. Here’s how I performed them:
I stood straight with my feet shoulder-width apart and kept my core tight for balancing Landing.
I bent my knees into a squatting position, then took my body upward and then jumped.
I landed gently slightly I bent knees and position my self into the squat position again, ready to move into the next jump without losing balance.
Benefits: Jump squats are very good excersice for building enough strength in the lower body. They really worked much on the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves.
Side Squats
Side squats added a new target to my workouts routine by challenging my balance and coordination. Here’s how I performed them too:
I stood with my legs wide apart and toes pointed slightly outward.
I bent my right knee and lowered my body towards the right side while keeping position still in squatting position and my left leg at one spot.
I pressed through my right heel to come back to the starting position, then repeated the same movement until the certain repetition needed,then I did same on the left side too.
Benefits: Side squats strengthened the inner thighs, hips, and core. They also improved our leg flexibility which is important for daily tasks like bending, reaching, or even playing with kids or running errands easily.
Lunges front and back
I must say Lunges is the simplest one among them all. Thoe the are a little hard but they’re less challenging. Here’s how I performed them:
I stood straight with my feet together.
I stepped forward with my right leg and lowered my body until my right thigh was close to the ground, keeping my left knee just above the floor.
I pushed through my right heel to return to the starting position, then after completing the repetition needed i switched to the left leg.
Benefits: Lunges are very perfect and needed for building strength in the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. They also improved the leg balance and stamina, which are important for avoiding injuries and moving with confidence with a slip of steps.
Thoe this week program was more hard than last week, I made it to the and here is my video presentation below.
Programs | Number of Repetitions | Rest period | second time |
---|---|---|---|
Jump squats | 15 reps | 10 seconds | 15 reps (don't edit the video) |
Side squats | 15 reps on each of the legs (30 in total) | 10 seconds | 15 reps on each leg (without editing the video.) |
Lunges (front and back) | 20 reps | 10 seconds | 20 reps (don't edit the video) |

At first, It felt so easy on the first round with each jump. But after a few repetitions, my thighs began to burn, and my calves felt the strain of powering each jump again. My heart was pounding so hard and my muscles was weak at that moments. I headoff to the side Squat which I could feel the stretch in my inner thighs and the pull in my hips, which make it known to me that these muscles were being properly engaged in hard activities. The movement also made me more aware of my posture and balance. Lunges required focus and effort, especially to maintain balance. Each step felt purposeful, and the ache in my glutes was a sign that they were working hard. I tried to balance even when I felt like falling. I cope the situation because I made up my mind to make it to the end . When I was back home my thighs was so weak my overall leg was weak I couldn't climb stairs or standing up after sitting for a while. Despite the aches, each pains I felt is a proof of my hard work and growing my lower body strength and stamina.
Why do you think you personally need these programs? Explain. |

I really need these exercises to build a stronger and more reliable lower body structure, which is essential for many practical aspects of life. As a man we need lower body strength and stamina. However ,I want to improve my ability to walk long distances without feeling tired easily or fatigued. It trains my legs to handle running or playing football more better, because I really loves sport. I also need these exercises to improve my hips and thighs flexibility, which helps in tasks that require me to bend, lift heavy things or even just sitting for long hours comfortably.I also need these workouts to keep my energy levels more higher. I’ve noticed that after each session, I feel more refreshed and ready to tackle and focus on my day than before when I didn't include the excersice on my daily routine.
This program isn’t just about someone to have physical strength—it’s about building the kind of resilience and stamina that make life’s challenges a little easier to handle each passing days. Because enduring and completing each session will surely helps me to cope and endure life hard times.
I must say that, these exercises are transforming not just my body, but also my mindset. They’re helping me become stronger, more confident, and more capable of facing whatever life throws my way. Great thanks to our coach @ngoenyi and @genomil for taking us into this third week Challenge.I’m excited to see how much further I can go in this week three. Hoping ,waiting and looking forward to week four💪.
