January 13, 2014- Weight Room

On January 13, it was choice and so we got to decide over hockey, volleyball, soccer and the weight room. I decided to go to the weight room because our class has never gotten to go there yet. In the weight room, I did a variety of things. I went on the treadmill for 10 minutes, the bikes for around 20 minutes, the leg press machine where you extend your legs out, and I went on the machine next to it where you lift weights with your legs. For both the leg machines, I did two sets of ten. When I was on the bikes, I turned the knob more to the harder side to challenge myself and therefore I could feel the burn in my thighs as I rode. I also played a balancing game with my friends where you have to balance on one foot while carrying a heavy fitness ball. Then my friends and I did a little bit of yoga by watching the yoga video Mr. Vaughn had put on for us and finally, I did three sets of ten sit ups. To make the gym block fun, my friends and I had a competition to see who can hold the plank for the longest. I think I held the plank for around a minute before the muscles in my stomach started to really ache and that's when I was out of the competition and my friend won. I made the class fun by participating in the mini competitions my friends had. As you can tell, I did a little bit of everything!
