2015 goals and back workouts

Today in P.E.
I used those pully thingys.
I did three different workouts for the Latissinus Dorsi which hurt the lower part of my shoulders and back.
My back had been feeling tight these past few days so these actually perfect workouts
44 second plank
RESISTANCE BANDS (peyton just told be what they're called.(
My goal is to lose weight. I need to fit into a dress by Grad!! I think I need to balance out my diet better.
Yay more 2015 goals

more activities I did:
-went on the bikes
-did some crunches
-and tried doing a side plank which I'm very bad at holding

Blog improvments

I need to post more pictures or videos of myself working out. I'll keep that in Mind while doing P.E. from now on.

Running around thr Pond

Today in P.E. we did relay races in groups of four. I usually get tired after crossing the bridge at which point I knew I had to go slower. I've learned to pace myself better, which is a big accomplishment this year. Also, I felt light headed afterwards and that was probably because it was cold. My group got through about 3 rounds? I felt really gross at the end of the day and my chest was really tight, but I realized that's all part of fitness.

Snow Day!

Tuesday is usually a fitness day, but we didn't do fitness yay! Today was really fun playing in the snow, ignoring the fact my feet got soaked during capture the flag. Despite the fact everyone had soggy feet at the end of the day P.E. was really fun. I hope we get more snow days. I attempted to get a ball over but one of the boys caught me :(. I did manage to put a few people in jail though. Also I love how Mr Neufeld let us throw snow, but in an "organized" manner. Wish us luck doing fitness in the rain. And Mr. Neufeld when you read this Send me the Picture you took of us!

Painful Yoga

For Fitness Friday we did Yoga. Not just any kind of simple yoga, that most people would think is easy. I mean the really painful kind. We had to hold our bodies up and plank and other extemley painful movements with our bodies. My legs and arms are so sore, and honestly speaking I'd rather run then bend like that again. Overall, not my favorite fitness activity.

all the band geeks in P.E.

The past few days of P.E. have been so fun. I love having all the band kids together, it makes gym twice as much fun as it already is. We played capture the flag and speed ball? (I forgot what its called) and today we played speed ball. Comparing last years caputre the flag games, more people participate in this class which makes it better. Also speed ball was a new fun game we played. Soccer isn't my thing but I still managed to help score a point!

40 seconds 20 off

I usually have my blog entries in my notes and then forget that post them on that day.

Another tiring fitness day. Today was actually kind of fun, because the students lead the exercise and that was nice to see. Also I hope we can do more fitness days like today, because I think when people watch their friends take a lead during fitness they do too. For myself I think I did pretty well, minus the side ways plank and push ups I still have trouble doing. I ended up doing 3 in those 40 seconds which is more than I thought I could do. All in all, all those different activities were not bad. I'm starting not to totally hate fitness days. n

Locomotion (Disco Lights?)

Okayyy so on Friday (yay short week) we did the Locomotion and boy was it tiring. That week I felt my sickest and I just really didn't want to do fitness. I sucked it up and decided to just do it and not be a baby. Friday was a tough fitness day, even though I usually don't mind Locomotion. I definitely could have done the Locomotion better if I wasn't sick and feeling all stuffy and gross. Although I think both myself and other peopel improved this second time we did the Locomotion. I pushed myself even if I was feeling lousy. Also, I think it's cool that we used disco lights in P.E. it made it more interesting and I think that made fitness a lot more fun for other people. Who's playlist plays during fitness? Haha I liked the songs.

Interm Report

I think I should get a G in P.E., because I always bring my gym strip and try to participate as much as I can. My goals in P.E. are slowly progressing with the higher beep test score I got. Also, I try to listen to everyone who is in charge for that day, because I get that it's  annoying when nobody listens to you. Also I had an S last year mainly because I didn't do much participation, so one of my goals is to change that and be active with group activities. Hopefully that shows in my blog which I attempt to update every week. I think I could improve on blogging with non fitness days, and outside of P.E. at school, but other than that I think I should get a G for my intern report card. If I end up getting a G then that will show me I've gotten out of my comfort zone and shyness with other people. It helps that the grade 10's are friendly.

Fitness Testing

This entry has been laying in my phone since the fitness day, but I can finally post it.

Comparing my last beep test score I did way better than expected which makes me happy. Hopefully I can get to a 6 next time. I noticed my T-test also somehwhat improved as well. Still working on those push ups.

My scores:

flexibility: level one. I can do level two but I can't hold it long enough.
t test: 13.3 seconds
plank: 45 sec
balance board: 7 times
push up: 1
sit ups: 6
beep test: 5.7
Vertical: 30

Dodgeball Fun

Today in P.E. was actually my first non fitness day. I had to help with Grade 8 day and other things happend on non fitness days. Anyways today we played various types of dodge ball. Mr. Neufeld talked about bring a leader and listening and helping the class. I think it's kind of cool that he usually lets others lead the games on non fitness days. Last year my teacher didn't really help out with letting everyone join and have fun during days like these. I'm shy so group games aren't my thing. Today I had a lot of fun though. We beat the grade 10's 3 times and boy did that feel good. I'm excited for the next activity we do as a group and hope to have more P.E. days like this one.

triple threat fitness thingy (idk what its really called)

I usually forget to actually post on the real day but the entry for it sits on my notes.
Here is my feedback after fitness yesterday.

I am so tired and I feel really gross. Today's fitness was harder than I expected. Probably because there was no break it was 30 minutes of go go go. My two other partners were Madison and Sophie. I found core the hardest of them all. The side way plank I could hardly keep up so I really hope I can fix that. Cardio was also hard. My arms hurt this time during fitness when usually its my legs that ache. I know I can probably do way better than today especially in Core so that is my ideal goal for this fitness day. O couldn't get much pictures. Try balancing on one leg while trying to take pictures of your friends its not easy.  And here is a fake smile while I'm sweaty and ugly and gross. Meanwhile Alexis looks so happy (not)

Locomotion

We did the Locomotion the other day for fitness and this is my entry from my notes from that day. (cuz WiFi sucks)

The locomotion is 30 seconds first round. 60 then 30.  And we the group didn't do a very good job. Mr Neuf wasn't too pleased with our achievement for that fitness day. I could tell lots of kids didn't do their best and didn't put 100%. My legs are sore so I think I did okay. I definitely could have improved that day. Hopefully I'll get the chance to next time.

Oct 7 was the last fitness day we had. I missed P.E. on Oct 9 due to me helping out with grade 8 day. We did the pond run in Pe for fitness which is walk minute run a minute. Last year is usually run too fast and Id usually always walk through the in portion but I didn't wall during the running and I made it through which is a huge improvement for. I plan to try to pace myself a little faster next pond run. I dont mind the pond run and it is one of my favorite fitness tests.

First Fitness day of the year

Friday was fitness day. We did the beep test, t test, verticals, body bridges and other various excersises. My scores today were definatley not my best, because of the huge break over the summer. I hope to see myself improve as time goes by. The beep test is a big thing I need to work on. I can usually go on running, however I dont make it to the beep. My push ups were also not very well done. Hopefully I can do more as the year goes by.
My scores on the fitness tests were:

Beep Test: 4.8
Vertical: 20
T-Test: 14:03 seconds
Push up: 2
Balance: 9

Some pictures of my fitness tests.

First active learning entry

In P.E. my I did an all bodywork out with Alexis and Gaby we did reverse burpees went on the bikes. jumping jacks push ups and more. We also did the following shown in these pictures .The push ups were the hardest for me, so I need to work on that. This is a smart workout to do for fitness days, I got really tired and sweaty doing all of those 7 times. My push ups need lots of work, which I hope will be better for the next time I blog.

This is Gaby Alexis and I doing some excersises we found on pinterest

 these were very difficult to do

 I liked doing the bicycle crunches they were fun

 we did lots more like these and I found all these excersises could be very affective if done properly and daily
