Semester End Reflection

My experience in Get Fit has been incredible. I love everything about it from having all your friends in your class to meeting new get fit girls. This class especially was very kind and very awesome. my fitness has inproved drastically I think personally. I never really pushed myself to a limit like this year; I feel so good about myself and my fitness. I do want to continue this fitness journey I decided to start throughout high school and beyond. For the past 2 weeks I haven't been participating in PE because of my back pain. I didn't let the back pain take the best of me because at home I do sort of yoga but more stretching excercises to help my back pain so I can get back to excercising regularly. I do hate that my limitations affect my body abd can't participate properly, I do hope that my back heals soon so I can get back to get fit and feell good about myself again. My participation in class is very good i don't miss classes and if I do there only for appointments. Field trips in this class was amazing and fun, it was awesome and I tried different thngs which made me reconsider some activites that I didn't want to try, like fencing. Activities I liked were the long walks and the small games we played they were awseome and a lot of fun. My attitude hasn't changed because I've always wanted to be really good at PE and I have accomplished that by getting my percentage from the starting of the semester that percentage made me try even harder on my fitness. Having all girls in my class increased my comfort level a lot. I don't mind sweating or having my face red anymore because I'm doing it for me and myself. My confidence level is still the same very confident. My fitness plans is to stick with doing at home workouts or even going to a nearby gym. I might not have the same motivation from my teacher and peers but I don't mind because there's my family there and my close friends will still be there for me. You can do a workout anywhere with any equipment and make it unique and to be comfortable and be happy with yourself and always try your hardest. I found inspiration from a twitter account on motivation on fitness. Keep updating on the twitter account to keep motivated so I won't forget. 

Percentage: 85%

I think my mark should stay consistent because even though I have limitations I haven't stopped officially working out. I still work out and do fitness but the ones i'm recommmened so I don't hurt my back too much. 

Get Fit - Midterm Reflection

We are halfway through the semester; and I think My fitness has improved by so much and I am so happy that it is improving a lot from the past 2 years at high school. I think this year especially my body and fitness level have changed a lot by getting out of my comfort zone and being able to work harder than I normally do on fitness days. I find that I work much much harder on fitness days. I have also noticed that I don't mind doing fitness with every class in the pe block; but I really like doing fitness and regular pe with my class of girls, guess it's just a comfort thing, but I dont mind doing it with other blocks as well though. I find that I worked way harder than last year and it paid off because i've noticed a change in my body and so has my mom and my friends. Sometimes I do have those days where I don't feel like giving my 110% on my fitness but the motivation I get from my pe teacher and my friends, really helps. I remember on the extended beep test if it wasn't for my friends and pe teacher I wouldn't have made it up to 20 the very last beep of the test. I hope to end the semester with being happy with myself my fitness overall.

Get Fit Fencing

         

          My first impressions on hearing the opportunity to fence in our class was amazing I thought it would be a fun and unique experience and thought it would be very hard though also. Those feelings didn't change because the feelings I had in the beginning stayed the same, fencing is hard and fun but takes a lot of effort to and balance and you have to be on your feet a lot. I have never tried fencing before; I'm usually hesitatant about trying new things but I actually found that trying new things is very cool and unique once you try it and you shouldn't doubt it. I did miss one day of fencing but when I was there I enjoyed fencing againest my friends and learning new techniques and finding my balance. I wouldn't change anything because everything went perfectly and was a lot of fun. Yes I did I put my best effort forth because I enjoyed it so much that I fenced at the best of my abilities and did not slack off at all. I learned that fencing is as hard as it looks and is not as hard learning it. You have to be wearing proper gear other wise you'll be stabbed in the chest or stomach. I also learned that the stick to use it is dangerpous and you should be careful.

Update -October 8th 2013

From the beginning of September when we started doing fitness; my fitness increased a lot. From running the hill run to doing beep tests and other activities. I in the starting really did not get into it, I do admit it but know I’m very comfortable and happy to do fitness now than the last years in the past. I hope to keep being healthy and work out as much as I can. I’ve actually started doing at home workouts because I have no time to actually go to a gym or go running around the block. The jeans that fit me snugly were looser than ever. It actually paid off; I’m surprised because last year I didn’t notice much difference in my body. So I know now if you really put your energy and effort in working out, it pays of so much you’ll be really happy. I worked really hard on the loco motive thing because I just felt really energetic that day. Beep tests are not really my thing so I just always do way worse on them. The Panorama School of Dance was really fun even though I only came the second day, but it was a really good experience for me. What motivates me to participate is if I physically notice a change in my body, when I do notice a change I work really hard the next fitness time.

Why I chose GetFit

        Why I chose Getfit was because I wanted to increase my fitness level and to be better at getting fit and I also chose it because I want to literally be in shape and feel more confident about myself. I also really like the idea of having just girls while doing PE it puts me in a more comfortable place and also all the field trips we go to. Hopefully I achieve of having a awesome fitness level by the end of the semester and gain more confidence in myself, and look back and be like I achieved my goal that I made in PE last year or something along those lines. I hope to learn and accomplish a lot in this class before the semester ends really quickly and to just have fun.

June 3rd 2013

    My attendance is good but I have a lot of dentists appointment which are mostly on fridays which kind of holds me back on the fitness days. Whenever i am here though I'm always punctual and I'm not late. I always have my gym strip as well. My fitness has improved a lot though on the beep test I used to be at about a 5 and recently I stopped at 6'8 which is awesome to me, because I improved there a lot and also before I never did any other activities outside of school but now I go on morning runs on the weekend and if I have time during the week I go to the nearest park and run laps. I also took the numbers of the stuff we did in the small gym recently; this was my results: Push-up=4, Plank=35.4 seconds, Sit and reach=1 set, Balance Board=15, Jump=standing:195 jumping:220, T-test= 18 seconds. I think recently I've been motivated a lot by inspirational quotes I've seen on the internet lately. I don't really have major barriers that keep me limited to a active style. Sometimes it just depends on the mood and motivation sometimes not always though. It's kind of hard giving yourself a grade but I would say I'm still at a C+ because I don't think I increased my fitness level to that extent where it should be a B. But I'm still trying to accomplish that B though, and I hope to soon.
