Final Blog

For my final blog, I want to say how much this class got me to feel more comfortable working out different parts of my body in healthy and different ways. I learned so much, for example pacing my breath and speed while running, how to modify an exercise if it is too difficult for me, and how to have fun. Overall this class was great as we did so many different workouts like yoga, I never really thought yoga could be fun and I didn't know how many muscles you can stretch by just doing a simple move and I think I deserve a 91% in this class.


1)For participation, I attend every class I may be a couple minutes late. Everyday I am prepared and bring p.e strip, my intensity of some games are not always to my highest ability because I am either tired or sore from the last workout we would do, otherwise I am always bringing high intensity and wanting to go outside and do yoga or go for a walk or run. My motivation behind choice days is I like to either do volleyball because its a good sport and everyone is enjoying themselves and has a part in the game or badminton. 24/25


2) For social responsibility and contribution to the class, I did once help organize a group of grade 8's when they didn't know how to form themselves to play volleyball, and for encouraging peers I do that a lot too by saying good job and nice work or by saying come on a little further. Also I have helped put away the equipment sometimes when there are equipment needed to be put away or someone hasn't done so already. I have been completely honest on fitness scores because I think its important to not lie to yourself on what your fitness is at and I do many home workouts and go for jogs here and there. 23/25


3) For Healthy Living, in the past I did a few healthy things such as in the summer I would wake up at 6 and go for an hour run in the mornings 3 times a week, as well as eat healthy like salads and veggies, however I did have occasional unhealthy food. Currently I am thinking of the things I am eating and doing the best I can in our class to workout and tone myself. I do many home workouts such as abs. For the future I want to do what I did in the past summer, the jogs in the morning however maybe do it in the morning and evening instead of just the morning and I also want to start watching the food I am eating for example how much sodium is in the food and if I really want my body to ingest it. My fitness scores taught me so much, that if you work hard you can get to where you want you just need to want it bad enough because in the past I use to only get 6 on the beep test but as we did the beep test not long ago, I got an 8 and I was proud of myself. Some limitations/ barriers are doing exercises with my upper body such as push ups because my strength is more focused on my lower body instead of my upper body so it is more easier for me to do squats then to do push ups.  24/25


4) For my digital portfolio and reflective skills, I haven't posted a lot of evidence on my digital portfolio because I don't regularly bring my ipod to class because I am more focused on doing the workout and I don't want to worry about losing it or having no where to put my ipod while going for a run or doing the workout we need to do. I have many posts in my blog because it helps me keep track of how I am doing with my health and fitness and I have explained myself very well in my evidence for my blog posts and they're in a lot of detail. I have learned so much from doing blogs and I learned so many new ways to do workouts that are modified to help me as well as I have cited a lot of videos from my favorite workouts. 20/25
