Since I finished the 30-Day Core Challenge in the beginning of February I’ve wanted to try another of the Apple Fitness Challenges, but I hadn’t decided which one I wanted to do. There are a lot of challenges to choose from but I wanted to do something different than the first one I did.

I chose the 14-Day HIIT and Strength Challenge. This one is a lot shorter than the other one but it will be a lot more challenging because all of the videos are 30 minutes long. Every day you switch between HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and Strength. The Strength videos include the use of dumbbells and include videos for upper body, lower body and total body strength.

I know this challenge I chose will be difficult because these are all tough videos and doing one every day for 14 days be exhausting. I usually don’t do more than two strength videos per week and just do one HIIT and at least one day do a lower impact video. I also rest on weekends.

I started the challenge earlier today and now that I’m writing this I’m having some doubts about my decision, but I like to finish what I started and now I only have 13 day to go. I also have to do a core workout. I have continued to do them every day, even on weekends for at least five minutes.

I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write. I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer. I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book. Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
