Working out

So last thursday, we went to the weight room and did workouts. The work outs we did were from the internet. Also the workout we picked have to fit us and our goals. For example, if you want to get muscles without being a stead-head (this is the goal btw), dont look for fat-burning workouts. Instead, look for muscle building workouts.

I didnt have a goal actually, but i picked a workout that will benifit me and my health. The workout i picked was a fat-burning work out. I liked it because its fun, i dont need to use machines, and its something i can do at home, so i dont need to go to a gym. I also thought that this is effective because it requires a lot of moving. Especially jumping.

Insanity

I didnt like insanity this time, it wasnt the best fitness day. However wether i like it or not i still did it. Id rather get over it than giving up. I hate givng up, period.

This was a ridiculously late post, sorry.

Haha still smiling after 45 mins of hell.

Fitness test

Todays fitness assesment, i felt a bit disapointed about my beeptest score. It wasnt where i want it to be. I can say that the long break (last week) was the reason why, but it shouldnt be it. Well, i did slept more than i shouldve during the break (since i longed for it). However, i can go out do stuff its just that i chose not to. But on the other hand, i did improve some other stuff... well heres the old one:
Beep test: 8
Plank: 27 secs
T test: 12 secs
Ballance: 10 touches (i did not specify on how long i was on the board. Sorry)
Pushups: 25
Sit and reach: lvl 3 (i did not specify on how long i did it. Sorry)
Hieght: 210 jump: 240

And heres the new one:
Beep test: 7.3
Sit n reach: lvl 4 for 30 secs
Hieght: 210 jump: 240
Push up: 30
Balance board: 20 touches in a min.
Plank: 54 secs.

1- total time to finish T-
Test
2- total time to plank

My afternoon run ii

After that, i still need work on pacing.... :p

My afternoon run

This afternoon i ran from King Geoge blvd. to 144 st. This took me not a very long time to achive this goal and i felt very good about it. Before i decided to go straight home, i went a bit farther, so the run took me a total 30 minutes. Wow.

In addition, i would like to add a few tips of mine when going out for a run. I just thought of these while running so i'd like to share (this is something that i shouldve added to my last post):
1- Stretch: its important to warm up your body before running or else you'll end up with stiff-moving joints. Loosen up dont be up tight
2- Set a goal: doing this will keep you motivated!
3- Listen to up beat music: its nice to listen to different kinds of music. However, i prefer something like dance, techno, dubstep, or anyrhing that will keep you up and enegetic!
4- Find inspiration: probaly, when your out to exercise, you might see other people doing the samething, working hard as you or working harder than you. Its nice to see thsese kinds of people as motivation y'know?
5- Self motivate!: i find this important because its your choice wether you want to work hard and be fit or be a lazy bum. When youre in a situation when you find difficult, make it easy for you (but not too easy). Also, you know what? Every thing is diffcult you just gotta make it easy for your self! If youre in a situation like this, fibd ways to encourage your self to do more, like keep telling your self that youre the champ and you can do this!
And what one of the gym teachers in my school, Mr. Vaughan always says this before doing fitness activities: "Instead of finding ways to say no, find ways to say yes."

Pictures shown:
1rst pic: the time it took me from King George to 144.

3rd pic: my total time for running.

Comunity Run

today for fitness, we did a community run. The run took me 22:18 minutes; i felt good good about the time. However, every time i finish a run or some thing like that, i think that i could've done better. For example, i could've paced better, or i could've lessen my time of walking. Aside from that, at least i know my weak spots and why i have these weak spots. :3

pacing is something that i struggle the most in P.E and that the face i walked more than i should was no good either. Better self motivate during these kinds of situations!

in addition i didn't like this activity i thought it was boring (maybe its because you were by yourself , Marcia). 

Final Report for Semester 1

Semester 2 is around the corner! Oh my, i cant wait; it has all of my favorite subjects and most importantly.... first BAND TRIP! 

On a serious note, its almost the end of the semester, so that means i have to make this important blog post for P.E..

During PE this year, how have you shown you are prepared and willing to participate 

in a variety of activities?

Well first of all, i love P.E. and i will try my best to make the P.E. block not much of a waste of time. 

Im often on my gym strip and i im ready to give it my best shot!

On what days have you participated to your best effort and why?  What days have been a struggle for you and why?

I participate to my best effort on most of the activities and have fun with them, but i sometimes struggle on the activities that im not very familiar with (like softball, hokey, and Ping Pong). 

Really, i no matter how bad i am, i will at least try, because its always better to try the thing that you're not good at.

How do you contribute to the overall success of the class?  What kind of attitude do 

you bring and why?  How do you interact with other students in our class?

I often give a positive attitude, and i tell my peers that they did an awesome job at something. However, most importantly, i want to show that you're able to do anything in P.E. just by working hard and believing yourself. 

Describe your participation during fitness days - have you been able to push yourself 

physically?  What types of fitness activities do you enjoy the most?  What fitness 

goals do you have for the rest of the year? 

During fitness days, i work hard to reach my goals (like improving my beep test scores by 1, getting that "ugly face", etc.) and work with a smile. The reason for that is, i like fitness days, honestly. I especially love the activities that involve a lot of aerobics and running, because i feel that these are one of my strengths. Through out this year i realized how important my health is and if i follow the latest trends today (like the growth of obesity), i wont live a happy healthy, life.

(I watch allot of shows about the obesity epidemic and why most of us are obese). 

What improvements would you like to make in PE by the end of the year?  What are 
you the most proud of so far?

What i want to improve on is my cardiovascular endurance and my flexibility because i think that these are my weak spots when the day of the beep test come.However, what im really proud of doing is my latest beep test score (i got an 8)! I was proud of this because on my first beep test of this year i got a 5.

On behalf of this semester, i think i now deserve a B because of my great efforts to improve, participation, attendance, preparedness, and my positive attitude.
