Genius Hour Week 1

This past week I began working on my Genius Hour Project. The first step was to develop a workout plan to increase arm and core strength as well as record my current baseball swing. I appologzie for the quality, enjoy!

Workout Plan 

My workout plan is pretty simple.  My goal over the next few days is to slowly increase the reps or length of time for each activity. I began last night with my first workout which consisted of the following.

core: 10 crunches, 10 reverse crunches, 20 bicycle crunches, 20 Russian twist and 20 second plank.  

arm: 5 push ups, 10 arm punches, 10 bicep curls, and 5 chair dips 

I can say that I am a little sore in my arms, but my core feels fine. I think for tonight I am going to increase my core reps by a fair amount, and my arms by a few reps. 

What I have learned so far

I had one of my friends help me after I did my first swing recordings. His tip to me was to open my hips up more to the pitcher, wait for the ball to come in, then in one fluid movement step forward, swing, and fully follow through with one arm. 

Here is my first attempt that this change.
