Semester at a glance...

Throughout the semester I feel that I have been able to strengthen my abilities both internally and physically. I enjoy participating in this class and love being able to spend my time with such an amazing teacher and students. I cannot believe that we are practically finished the semester! Get Fit class, is by far one of my all time favourite classes. I feel that throughout the semester I have participated in everything, to the best of my ability. I enjoyed going on all of the field trips and having those moments to bond with my friends and classmates.

Making myself a healthier person and feeling more comfortable with my body has been one of my strongest motivators and as a result, I am seeing improvements on my fitness. I believe I can run longer distances now; I even almost reached my highest beep test level.

I have had many defining moments thus far in Get Fit. All of which show how much I can push myself. I am really proud of doing fitness every single day; I feel it has made me stronger and healthier and I have noticed improvements. I do not think I have ever been so tired and sweaty after workouts in my life, it's actually really gross...

I am proud of all the accomplishments I have had in Get Fit, the journey has been one that is full of hard-work, commitment and sweat! I feel great and ecstatic about my accomplishments!

 

Miss Respresentation

After watching Miss Representation I realized that women are degraded much more than we actually realize. Through posters, magazines, on TV and even in music. We are surrounded by a word filled with people whom look upon women as "2nd class citizens." I am actually disgusted by the way people treat women. I was surprised by the amount of companies that do not have any or many women on their board. The way women are looked at has to change. Obviously it's not going to change if a part of a women's population is speaking up. I feel that every lady needs to say how they feel about the situation. Women should not be looked at like a prized possession. We are valuable people with pride and that needs to be distributed.

Active Learning: Testing

Me at the beginning of the beep test.

My most recent beep test I got a 9.1, I was disappointed because it was not my highest beep test which was around 10.5ish (so long ago), which is why I wanted to get to that level again. I missed the line though and knew that if that happened I had to go out, which is one of the reasons I did leave. However, it was the highest beep test I did all semester. I even had trouble breathing because I have asthma, which was another factor that affected my speed. It's nice to know that I gave it my all and was extremely tired afterwards, even though I had to leave, I pushed myself for my LAST EVER BEEP TEST!

The rest of my testing pretty much stayed the same; I haven't noticed a change in the scores for push-ups, t-test, etc. It has been a great semester of vigorous fitness and I am happy that I beat my score for this semester but at the same time I wished I got higher. Defiantly having mixed feelings about it.
