March 4, 2014- Fitness Tuesday!

On March 4, 2014 it was fitness Tuesday and everyone took part in Pyramid. We've only done Pyramid once before in the school year so I was glad the gym teachers decided to do this activity for Tuesday's fitness. While I was jogging to the middle of the gym and then back, my thighs were burning but I needed to pay close attention to the voice in my head that was motivating me to keep on going. I needed to block everything else around me and just focus on my exercising. As we progressed more into the activity I noticed that my intensity increased. For example, in the beginning I wasn't as into the activity as I was near the end. I got more and more into the activity as the time passed, which means I pushed myself harder and harder as the minutes went by. I was glad that push ups were on the list of the exercise movements to do because as you know, this is an exercise that I wish to improve on by June. So by doing push ups in Pyramid it allowed me to have some practice with the structure. When we first started Pyramid, the first exercise was push ups and so when I did my first push up, I found it hard to do and I knew that the easiest way to do this would be to give up, but that's definitely not the way I wanted to deal with the situation. So then I kept trying by doing another push up, and then after that I did two more and so on, and this is how I overcame this obstacle. Having hope and confidence in yourself is so important when working with your weaknesses. Overall, I think this fitness day helped me to continue achieving my goal and showed me how to keep on going even in the rough spots. Here is some digital evidence:
