Fitness May 30

Today was a very busy day since many people were away so we decided to do a different fitness activity it was similar to the AB workout but there were no partners. I enjoyed this activity because it gave you a pretty good workout in just twenty minutes. My goal was to try and go for the full 20 minutes and improvise on activities which I struggled in. For example I find pushups difficult so when the group was doing pushups I tried to hold a plank for as long as I could. However my favourite part of fitness was the extra time we had afterwards to have choice I chose basketball. Usually the girls don't get to play basketball because the guys always take it but today was just girls basketball. I really enjoyed this game we had a fun 5 on 5 match and we were more sweaty and tired from playing basketball then we were from doing the fitness activity. Overall this was one of my favourite fitness activities.

Community Run

Today was a flex day so we did a modified community run. I was exhausted before this run however I tried my best to at least jog the fastest I could if I wasn't running most of the time. My goal for today was to not give up and to try and get back to class before the bell rang. I didn't achieve this goal due to a lack of motivation and time. I was disappointed in myself when I was only a few minutes short of my goal time 25-28 minutes. I found myself thinking if I had sped up while I was going up the hill I could have made my goal. But I still think I learned a lot from this run I hope looking back at this I can find motivation to do better. I hope that I see better results next fitness day.

Healthy Smoothie

Following up on my recent post I decided to look up some recipes on my Pinterest board and decided to make this delicious banana smoothie! The recipe was 1/2 cup of milk,1 ripe banana, 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, dash of nutmeg and 3 ice cubes. This smoothie was very good and I hope to make more healthy food in the future!

Independent Fitness

Today we did independent fitness. We had to go to a web site and find a workout. I really enjoyed this exercise because you didn't have much room to slack off since you were in a group and your group expected you to participate. I modified activities if I thought an activity was to difficult like doing planks or sit ups. Halfway through this activity I found myself being really sweaty and tired. I was not expecting this because I thought it was a simple activity that would have you maybe sweating by the end of the activity. I was surprised to find that from the very first exercise that this workout was very demanding but I tried my best to keep up. Through this activity I learned how to have a fitness day without a teacher guiding you I learned to take charge of my own fitness. Here is the link to the workout video my group used:

Today in PE we had the beep test...

Beep Test 5
Sit and reach 2
Push-ups 1
Max vertical 245-225= 20
T test  14 secs
Body Bridge 45
Board touches 11

I have improved in areas like sit and reach and I am very proud of myself because I have never been very flexible. Also doing a body bridge for forty five seconds is a record for me so I am really proud of myself. Something I did different was do the exercise at the same time as a friend this motivated me to try my best and I hope to use this trick next time. However my beep test wasn't that great and I think it was due to the fact that I wasn't feeling that good today. So the next time we do a beep test I want to try and get a 6.

My blog

I think my blog is average but there is so much room for improvement. When I do blog I think I go into detail and try my best to make the reader understand what i'm going through. An area that I could improve in is blogging more frequently and providing digital evidence (pictures and videos). Overall I think i'm making good progress.
