September 29, 2013-Home Exercising!

Today on September 29, 2013 I did multiple sets of sit ups on the exercise ball while listening to music to motivate me.

Fitness Friday: September 27, 2013

During gym class today, we did a variety of exercises such as jumping squats, push ups and jumping jacks. The teachers couldn't keep track to see if everyone did 12 jumping jacks so it depends on what you do for your own self. I felt that I worked hard and pushed myself to do 12 push ups even if it was difficult for me. I put all my effort and energy into this fitness day as I want to maintain a strong and healthy body. My friend and I started the workout together; performing the same exericises but by the end of the block we both were at different paces and exercises because all of our bodies are different and my pace is not supposed to and did not match my friend's pace. I even tried making up some of my own creative exercises to make the fitness day more enjoyable and fun.

September 25, 2013-Gym on the Field

Today in gym class we were on the field and our goal was to organize our own activities without any guidance from Mr.Neufeld or the P.E T.A. I listened carefully to the other students in the class which is helpful because by just listening, we were able to make the teams and we were able to play for a fair amount of time. The people who decided to play ultimate, chose captains which formed the teams and it was a quick way to get everyone on a team. The only disadvantage to that was being the last person picked, but I think we overcame that con because we made sure a sensitive person wasn't picked last. I also touched and passed the frisbee while playing ultimate several times due to the small teams which was very beneficial to me because in grade eight gym class, I didn't get to touch the frisbee that many times.

September 22, 2013 Exercising at Home!

Since it was raining very heavily today,  I decided to exercise on the treadmill instead of going outside.

Fitness Day:Pond Run September 20, 2013.

 

This picture was taken on September 20, 2013, when everybody participated in the pond run. Personally, I thought the pond run was not as challenging as it was for me to do in grade eight. The reason behind this, is that I focussed on my pacing this time which helped me very much because I did not stop once while we were running on and off for one minute. Mr. Neufeld reminded the class about interval pacing before we started and his advice was very helpful. I also had a strong mind to keep on running even when I was starting to feel tired.

September 18, 2013 Gym Class

Today in gym class, September 18, 2013, we played ninepins in the small gym. In my opinion, I thought it was a great game to play because everyone seemed to be enjoying it and I had a really fun time. I contributed to the class by simply laughing and following the rules. Even if someone knocked my pin over, I still made the best out of it and laughed and smiled to my friends.

September 16,2013 Gym Class

Today in gym class, I tried my best to make everyone feel welcome in the class and to make sure everyone was enjoying the class. My contribution to the class was by giving many people a ball when they didn't have one. Sometimes I picked up two balls that came to me and I passed it to someone else who was looking for a ball. By doing something little like this, It will make this class a fun evironment to be in. I also met and talked to a new student in the class. I waved hi to a few people in my gym class when I see them in the hallways too, to show kindness to them.
