My legs hurt

Wow we haven't done hardcore fitness in a while. I can't say I miss it a whole lot, that feeling when you can't breathe isn't fun. But I know it's good for me especially since fitness is probably the one hardcore workout I ever do in a week. Sure I run sometimes but it's not the same as this. Today was tiring and even if Neuf didn't give us a pep talk before hand I think most of us were used to always hearing that we should work hard for ourseleves. I think I got so used to that, that's what I do in Pe. I work and try my hardest for myself, not even for my grade. It was hard today especially the planks. I couldnt even hold up the second round plank. I really need to work on upper body strength because I have zero. The run was a usual pain, but I don't mind it as much. I think I worked pretty hard today, at the end of the workout I really needed a shower so that's a good sign. By the end of it I was really sweaty and gross. Aaliyah and Gaby look cute and then there is me....

Dance Week from a billion years ago

I totally forgot to publish Dance week.

Anyways I think my favorite day was Bhangra, because it was really fun especially with both the band classes. I think Bhangra was the one dance that I didn't do horribly on. It was also kind if tiring. I'm not really a dancer but I actually really enjoyed doing Bhangra. Jazz was just so confusing, but laughing at myself helped. Honestly, I don't prefer dance week because I'm really bad with my feet. So yes I think anyone who can dance without falling is crazy talented. I think it's awesome how they let students teach us all the dances. Sulli has some very talented people

ROCK PAPER SCISSORS

Late publish:

Another successful buddy day! Today we played rock paper scissors with our buddies. We taught them how to use their body and brain at the same time. They had to think of either rock paper or scissors and also shape their body to either a rock paper or scissors. Gaby and I's buddy had trouble keeping up with jumping jacks and usually replied later than the other kids. We found it helpful to talk to her about what she was going to pick before they started, so she couldn't change her answer. I noticed a lot of the buddies liked to pick rock, but also some of them strategized as well. I think this was a smart idea to incorporate an easy game everyone knows and add actions. It helps them use more of their brain.  I'm excited for the next buddy session! 

Fitness after 828282 years

My title is a bit exaggerated, but anyways wow I feel like we haven't done fitness in so long with buddies and days off on Fridays. The relay was really fun, I think I'm better at long distance than sprinting though to be honest. I liked doing those relays, it was different. Do you know how I can improve on speed? because I'm actually pretty slow at running. My legs weren't as sore as they usually are after I stop fitness for a while. I think it's because I go out more play tennis and go out for runs occasionally. I'll definitely keep that up in the summer.

Passing a tennis ball with buddies

On tuesday we were working on throwing with one hand and steping forward with the opposite foot at the same time. My little buddy sometimes got it, but other times didnt. She was pretty good at catching the ball. I noticed a lot of the little buddies really liked throwing it as far as possible and with the technique we taught them they leanred to control their throws. My little buddy had a hard time during the golf game, but at the very end she finally got it. It was funny because I think Gaby and I were more excited than she was. It's cool to see how some of them get it really quick and other don't, I'm excited for the next buddy class.

Tennis

So after school I decided to go out and penny board/ play tennis, because no homework (woohoo). Anyways, I finally played tennis after so many years of leaving my racket in the closet. I used to play a lot with my dad (hes old now). Today we played and I forgot how much I loved the sport. My dad is old but he is still really good, I definatley ran a lot today, reaching for the ball with my racket. Well after an hour of playing my wrist was a bit sore and also my arms. Also I was really tired/hot at the end because I was in the Sun. I wish Pe had some sort of tennis unit, that'd pretty cool.


LITTLE BUDDIES

I thought I published this post anyways this is from the day we had buddies

my little buddy wasnt here today BUT I shared a buddy with Peyton and she was awesome and really smart for her age. Peyton kept bragging about he buddy bc she was so proud. We taught them how to jump and hop on two feet from side to side. I realized they always go really fast so they cant always stop properly in a squat form. For the most part it was really fun seeing how some of them got the hops quickly and others didnt. Im excited for our next buddy class !
