February 4, 2014-Beep Test

On February 4, 2014, everyone participated in the beep test. I got the same score as last time when we did the beep test. Last time I got 8.4 and I got 8.4 again this time. I was proud of myself that I was able to maintain my beep test level but I really wanted to get a higher score this time. In the very beginning of the block when I heard that we were doing the beep test, I was really excited and eager to do it because I wanted to improve my score by a little bit. Even though I didn't get a higher score, I was still able to match my previous score and I'm happy that I didn't go down. Since we already did the beep test a little while ago in the middle of January, it makes sense to why I got the same score. If we wait a while and then do the beep test, I think I would improve. After the beep test, we recorded our results for some of the small exercises. I was able to maintain a good structure for the plank. I was able to hold the plank for 80 seconds. This time I had a better structure than I did last time. I did push ups on my knees and I was able to do 15 which is an improvement form last time. Before Marcia started taking the video, I did around 5 practice ones without stopping also. Now that I watch my video of me doing  push ups, I realized that I should of went all the way down, so I will definitely keep this in mind for next time when I am doing push ups. As you know, push ups is something I want to work on and it will take both time and practice until I master this exercise. By watching the video, it gave me some feedback and I will take it into consideration the next time we do push ups in gym class. When I woke up this morning, the muscles in my arms and shoulders were sore from the push ups that I did, but this is a good sign because I know that my arms got a good exercise. I improved on the t-test and I noticed I got faster at it. For the sit and reach, I reached level one and I tried so hard to get to level two but it was difficult! I almost reached level two and I know that I will be able to get to level two the next time we do the beep test, because yesterday I came pretty close to getting it! I am going to keep my goal of getting 9.5 on the beep test by June. I also want to try to get 9.0 the next time we do the beep test.
