Semester End Post (January 9th 2014)

Being in Get Fit had taught me many things. Not only with the field trips that we took, but it taught me a lot about what it feels like to be energized everyday and have a new respect for working out everyday. I feel that my progress from the beginning of the year till today has been so large, that i don't see myself being that person again, for a long time. Having all of those field trips and all of those activities, made me realize that there are a lot of things out in the world that can be learned and applied to everyday life. For example, when we went to taekwondo, i learnt self defense and personal safety, which are two very important things for people our age, especially girls. Having the opportunity to experience all of these activities has given me a chance to think about actually joining a club or sport which involves what we had done. In the future, i hope to be an influence to other students in my community on what fitness and healthy living truly is, because its not only about how your body looks and what your supposed to look like, its about maintaining a good body AND exercising and eating well, so that you and your body will look good and be as healthy as you can be. This class has given me so many new opportunities that i would probably not have gotten any where else. I've made new friends, I've learnt values and done things that i would never get anywhere else and most of all. Outside of this class, i would love to do hot yoga again and i would really enjoy to do taekwondo again. All in all, i thought that this semester was a really enjoyable one and i would absolutely take Get Fit again next year!!! After the semester is over, i plan to keep my fitness up by working out with my friends and doing as much physical activity as i can on the weekends. I want to work during the summer, so i hope that the job i do gives me a chance to get some activity there. If not, i will come home after work and i will dedicate at least 30 mins to working out. As far as the mark in this class is concerned, i would like to give myself a 86%. I feel i deserve an 86 because i have worked really hard in this class and i have achieved some of my personal bests this year. On the beep test, my highest was a 8.4 and that is the highest that i have ever gotten in the beep test in all my years here in Sullivan. And also, when we had done the community run, i had gone with the jogging group and i had run the whole route without stopping. I had never done that before, and i am very proud of everything that i have achieved this year. I really enjoyed this class and i hope to be able to take it again next year. :D

My grade: 1st report card

For report cards next week, we were asked to blog about what grade we wanted to give ourself and justify why. I truly believe that ive worked hard enough to give myself a low "A". Or a 87%. I feel like even throughout all the fitnesses that we have done i have done all of them to the complete best of my ability. And even when i was sick i participated. I hope that my mark is a reflection of what i am portrayed seen doing everyday in class! ♡

FENCCIINNNNGGG!! ♡♡

Last week, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Ms. Phillips arranged for us to be taught how to fence. It was such a cool experience and i felt very excited to learn a sport so technical like fencing. The main reason i think i liked fencing was because it was so quick and fast paced. I felt that the engery and the willpower to fight when given to me when i had the chance to, was so high that i had the urge to just keep going. My favourite part of fencing was being able to learn the footwork and doing the drills to better myself in the longrun of the sport. Also, i really liked it when we got to put on the fencing equipment. I enjoyed getting to know the way that professionals play the sport and learning all the different ways to defeat your opponent with the foils. All in all it was a fun experience and if gotten the chance, i would do it all over again.

These are a few pictures that inspire me to work harder in everything I do:

P.E Check-in (October 8th 2013)

These last few weeks have been so much fun! We've done parkour, yoga in the sun and we've also gone dancing. Since, I used to dance for a while before,it was somewhat in my element. I loved the choreography that we were taught and i really loved that our whole class supported each other when we didn't get a move. Unfortunately, last week I had injured my back during P.E class and made it worse when I went home. With that injury, I was not able to one of my favorite fitness activities, The Pyramid Workout. I love how with that fitness activity, we can moderate our workout to our own pace. So, we aren't as pressured by other people to work harder than we can. In conclusion, this week was a pretty good week and I hope that we can continue our Get Fit class in this positive way.

How I came to choose Get Fit 10

When we were choosing electives in February this year, I choose Get Fit. I chose Get Fit because I wanted an alternative to the whole soccer and flag football traditional P.E class. I also didn't want to be in class with boys who constantly are watching you're every move. But also, when I was choosing Get Fit, I wanted to have a class with some of my friends. But now that I have Get Fit, I've realised that you can make friends with so many more people than I already am friends with. I hope that this class will have alot of fun together with all the field trips that we do and that all the gr. 10's and 11's can become really good friends througout the semester and till the end of our high school life. :)
