Activity season 2 was similar to season 1 in terms of the amount of work I had to do and academic stress.
During the weekdays, I did not manage to exercise even though I did stretching quite often. Therefore, as an alternative, I chose to continue to do pilates+ some other exercises on Saturday mornings. I think when one is busy and stressed, it is easy to choose to spend free time sleeping or watching TV or playing games. And I did that in the past. But I recently realized that moving one’s body regularly is not only important for losing weight but also for stabilizing one’s mind and overcoming extreme stress. And therefore, I am proud of myself who planned to do Pilates every week. I have previously learned Pilates back in Korea but at that time, I was having a more regular life routine(e.g slept earlier, worked out more often) which meant my body was generally stronger and in better condition. But doing pilates this year was different. I had so many pains in my shoulder and back, had irregular sleeping routines writing university essays, and therefore found it harder to follow the movements. However, I was proud of myself who improved little by little in terms of flexibility and endurance. However, I am aware that I still need to strengthen the core which I hope to continue to work on in the future.
