25 Minute Run
It's Tuesday, February 24/2015 and for fitness all the p.e classes in period 2 did the 25 minute run, however it was different then the last 25 minute runs we have done in the past because every class was doing its own thing. Which I liked because you don't know what the other people are doing so you're really just focused on yourself, your pace, and your goal. I found that this was a good way to get to know what I need to improve on in this class, like what my weaknesses are. At the beginning of the class, Erika, Jusleen, and I had a plan to slowly jog 2 and a half laps and walk the other half (the rest). It was going good because when we had finished doing that one set it had been 10 minutes. However it ended up slowing down, for example we would run half and walk half and towards the end we ran one lap and walked half way. So it was a bit hard in the beginning and then it dropped a lot and began to pick up. I learned that I need to work on my breathing more when I'm running because I wasn't tired when we had finished, my chest began to hurt and my right ribcage and that was it. I also need to improve on my pace where I can last a long time running because that hasn't always been my strength. I use to do track and field but I would only do the 100m, 200m, and sometimes the 400m where you run as fast as you could for a short distance, so I would like to work on learning to control my breathing and pacing where I could last longer running.

The Past Week
In the past week of Get Fit, I've had a lot of experience getting to know what kinds of work outs my body can handle and which I can't. For example, today we did Pyramid Workout where you have a certain amount of workouts and you run to center and count down, however I did every workout and I didn't quit after 45 mins, however I did start to slow myself down because I started to feel the heat on my face burn and I began to see things very bright, therefore I felt like I was going to faint. I slowed myself down, and I began to walk to and from the center a couple times and I would take a couple second breaks so I could get enough energy and slow down my heart rate so I could finish the rest of my workouts. The workouts that I found that were more difficult were the burpees and the shoulder press. Mainly because I didn't know if I was doing them correctly and I was so sore from the past couple days.
Yesterday we had Zumba, which I thought was okay because it was fast and you couldn't sometimes see clearly if you were doing it right or not. I liked that the instructor did many different styles of dancing like mambo and belly dancing it was fun. I was sort of disappointed that we didn't go outside for the pond run or community run because it was really nice out and sunny, but we ended up going outside for a walk after Zumba. Which I liked because it helped my cool down a lot. I like Zumba because I really like the different dances that the instructors do and how it workouts out so many different parts of your body at the same time and you don't really notice it. Sometimes I do Zumba at home or I do somewhat Zumba, like I'll find some videos on YouTube that are dancing workout videos and there fun because I love to dance and its a great workout.
On Tuesday, Feb 17 we did Locomotion in the parking lot because it was so warm and sunny outside, which I really enjoyed because all the classes joined together and it was a lot of fun because it gave me a lot of motivation to go as far as I could with my workout and there was music and it was just amazing. I hope we can combine all the classes more throughout the semester for some fitness classes because I think it will be good to have some fitness classes as just our class but for a change maybe do all the classes together again. When we did Locomotion, I made sure that I put all my effort into this fitness because it was pretty much our first day of physical activity where we combined literally everything from squats to sprinting. I did lose my form a bit but I brought it back up pretty quick because I was with my friends so I had a lot of motivation.
On Monday, Feb 16 we played games, and I wasn't really into it because I don't really like dodge ball or the reaction games, however I did participate and I gave my best effort and positive attitude to give other people a positive attitude as well.
On Friday, Feb 13 we did Yoga. I really liked doing Yoga because I loved learning all the different types of stretches you can do and what muscle they can be used for. I felt so good doing the Yoga because It was a great workout when it just felt like stretching and I really enjoyed that except for how sore I was the next day. I also enjoyed doing the relaxing yoga because I really felt my muscles just lose all the tension and it was amazing how I felt like I was sleeping but I was still awake, however I did almost fall asleep because I was so tired and the music was so soft. I had a great time doing Yoga and I hope we do more of it because it really does work you out in a different way that other work outs do.

Us: Why did you take Get Fit? What are you hoping to get out of the course? Do you have any fitness goals? What can you contribute to the class?
I took Get Fit because I wanted to stay fit during this year since I have a lot of hard courses and I wanted to stay physically active. Also I took Get Fit because I thought it would be a fun and different course that would be interesting. I really want about what my body can do and how to eat healthier also I want different experiences with different activities we do like if we do fencing or swimming I want to learn some moves or different moves we could do. I am hoping to work myself out and get myself in shape again since I am no longer fit, therefore I am wanting to get a fun experience in this class and get my fitness back at the same time. I have a couple fitness goals to be able to get abs and to be able to run longer and faster and to work my arms out more. I can contribute positive attitude everyday and always try my best in the class and get along and be friends with everyone also.
