Yoga

Today for fitness we did Yoga. I thought it would have been harder but I was surprised when it wasn't. I think I worked well and really got tired although I think I coud've done a little bit better if I wasn't so sore from yesterdays Weight Room activity. Some stretches we did were really a challenge but I tried as best I could to do them or I tried modifying them. Once P.E. Was over I didn't break out in a sweat but I could feel my heart rate going was faster and that my face was more red. I think the people I worked around with also really helped me stay focused by also doing the excercises instead of distracting me. I hope next time we do something like this, I'm not as sore as I was today.

Weight Room

Yesterday for P.E. I decided to go into the weight room. In the weight I room I did some excercises that helped with toning your body such as push ups, crunches, wall sits and planks. For push ups I did 3 sets of 5 and I got pretty tired quick because I had done it in a harder way where you had your hands in a diamond shape. Next I did 30 crunches, it was really tiring, but I was proud since I hadn't  stopped once. I also did a plank, I tried setting a goal and tried to go up to 3 minutes without sinking but I got tired and started shaking and ended up stopping at 2 minutes. I was dissapointed since I knew I could've gone longer although I knew it was because my arms were already tired from the push ups. After that I got up to 50 seconds on the wallsit, I think I could've done better but I also thought that it wasn't as bad as other times where I just decided to quit early. I also used a machince that would tone my arms. I did 2 reps of 30 with 70lbs. I got really tired but I was proud since I finished all 60 times. The timer at the bottom represents  when I stopped while doing the plank.

Marco Polo

Today we played Marco Polo, I thought it was a lot of fun although I wish it would've been warmer. I couldn't feel anything! It also didn't help that it was slippery out, and the moment I started running, I fell. Although it was cold outside I still tried running and going after people although I did feel restricted because my partner didn't feel well and wouldn't run with me as much I would have liked them too. Also I didn't like the fact that one group of wolves just hid in the entire game and didn't blow the whistle to let us know that they were hiding. This made it worse because everyone just started chasing one group and it wasn't that active since the group would usually get cornered and get caught easily. Other than that I really liked the game and would love to play it again, just in a warmer weather! 

Insanity Fitness

Today for fitness we did Insanity. I actually liked doing Insanity and I thought I had a good workout considering I didn't get moved neither did I get yelled at. Although I think I did fine, I don't think I worked to the best of my ability. Last time we did Insanity I remember leaving the gym with sweat dripping down my face and looking at the mirror only to find that I was super red. I think I didn't do as well as last time because I didn't have very motivational people around me. Next time we do Insanity I am going to choose better people to.work out besides even if that means a teacher so that I can get motivated to try my hardest and leave with a sweaty face.

Midterm Report Card

During P.E. this year I think I did well in being active and involved in the class. Everyday in P.E. I brought my strip to class and was prepared for what we would be doing. I also never tried sitting out while I didn't feel to well and would try and modify whatever we were doing so that I could still work out without hurting myself even more. Other than that I think I that I bring energy to the class when we play games together or when we do fitness, although sometimes I don't feel to energetic and don't try to involve myself or the class too much. Overall I think I bring a good attitude to class but sometimes I feel lazy and I do whatever we're doing just so that I can finish it, although other times I bring a really energetic attitude and just feel like working out or having fun. For example, on the day we did the scavenger hunt I was really active and kept wanting to run around. Also one day we did Insanity for a fitness and I think I did really good and kept pushing myself even after I was tired and felt burnt out but I thought it was really fun. Personally I like doing the Loco Motion, Community run and Insanity. I think I like these exercises because it really makes you push yourself and show how much determination you have instead of just getting timed. For the rest of the year I would like to get a higher Beep Test score and finish the Community run faster. So far I am most proud of how much more into fitness I am than before. This year I feel more energetic on fitness days unlike last year or the year before where I would get tired really easy. Overall I think I deserve an 95% A in P.E. this semester.

Monday Beep Test

For today's fitness activity I think I didn't do the best that I could. When I first found out that it was fitness in the morning I was disappointed because I didn't feel ready, neither did I have my shoes that made it easier to run in. On the first beep test I got up to 7.5 and thought that my time was okay considering I didn't feel well and my shoes made it harder to run in. On the second beep test I got up to 6 but thought I could do way better if only my back didn't start hurting. I felt like I could have gone up till a 8.5 or maybe even a 9 if I wasn't injured. Overall I wish I could have done better if I had known it was fitness.
